To answer your question literally, I guess that both of my arms take the club away. At this time, my understanding of the right forearm takeaway is that it is a simultaneous upward and backward motion, as if I were bending my right elbow to take an oath. Is this correct? If so, I don't see how this could be executed with the extremely short length of a greenside chip, assuming that I am trying to buid a swinging procedure for all shots. I do see how a short RFT would be fine if I wanted to use a mini hitting procedure for chipping, but my logic is that I should swing for all strokes before I begin to mix procedures. Is either my thought process or execution incorrect in your view?
As for the acquired motion that I would use for pitches, I have also been using both arms to take the club away until I get to the "toe up" position. I just experimented with this and do see how I could use an abbreviated RFT for this shot.
I absolutely see that mastering these shorter swings will help me develop my full swing, so I value any assistance that you and the forum members can provide.
Thank you very much.

Teach,
Learn to use your Right Forearm Flying Wedge on the HORIZONTAL PLANE (like baseball) . . . This should help from the archives:
keeping your On Plane Right Arm Flying Wedge Intact and on a Horizontal Plane.
Shift your Body into its Impact Fix Alignments.
Keeping your Right Forearm Flying Wedge intact -- that means Right Wrist Bent and dowel parallel to the floor (or ground) -- move the Club into an On Horizontal Plane Backstroke by Bending your Right Elbow.
From there, move the Club into an On Horizontal Plane Downstroke STRAIGHTENING YOUR RIGHT ARM WHILE KEEPING YOUR WRIST BENT. Do this over and over and over and over and over.
Look, Look LOOK to make sure there is ABSOLUTELY NO FLATTENING OF THE RIGHT WRIST!!! IT MUST REMAIN IN ITS BENT AND LEVEL CONDITION.
Then drop your Right Forearm Flying Wedge onto the Inclined Plane and REPEAT THE EXACT SAME MOTION. Do this over and over and over and over and over. Bend the Right Elbow. Straighten the Right Elbow. Keeping the Right Wrist Bent.
Alternate back and forth between Horizontal Plane practice and Inclined Plane Practice. Listen to the dowel Swish as you Straighten the Right Elbow. Do this every day until further notice.
The key alignment that is overlooked is LEVEL. Everybody can get the Bent part wrt/ the Right Forearm Flying Wedge. But if your Right Wrist ain't LEVEL . . . you ain't got no wedge!!! Never Never Never COCK your Right Wrist. The Right Wrist DOES NOT take the club UP . . . keep your head betwixt your feets . . . keep your Right Wrist LEVEL and BENT . . . take the club UP Plane with your Right Forearm by BENDING your elbow.
Unfortunately the PIC are NO LONGER THERE!!!
Trig . . . Can we fix the Magic of the Right Forearm Primer pics? They are TOO GOOD to not be out here SOMEWHERE . . .
