forearm muscles?

Practice with a non-automatic 3 barrel hitting stroke with your mid to short irons....with long irons and woods use the 4 barrel hitting stroke for distance shots. See 2-M-3 and 2-M-4 for combinations of power package thrust and pivot thrust. Mid to short irons use power package thrust...with the long irons and woods use pivot and package thrust. Work on this combination for 3 to 6 months...then revaluate your situation....I believe you will achieve your desired distances...

I understand the advice you gave at the end of the post, but I'm confused about using the "muscles of your right forearm (driving right forearm)". The muscles of the forearm can be used in moving the fingers, in bending or arching the wrist, and in cocking and uncocking the wrist. But, it's the triceps that straighten and the biceps that bend the arm. The muscle power is mainly triceps.
