Thank you for the correction/clarification. But, still wondering, do the educated hands control or the right forearm? Or is it sort of a combination of the two?

You can MONITOR anything you want. You may choose to MONITOR the RIGHT FOREARM during the Takeaway, and even for entire STROKE for that matter. You could choose to MONITOR your SHOULDER TURN, OR HIP ACTION.

Some items are probably best to MONITOR mainly during the LEARNING stage, or when they need attention. Many TGMers, however, find that once the Pivot and Arms are pretty well trained, that they do best by simply MONITORING the HANDS. Through the LEFT HAND you monitor THE CLUBFACE(FLAT LEFT WRIST), and through the #3 PRESSURE POINT(the first joint of the right index finger)YOU SENSE THE SWEET SPOT and THE CLUBHEAD LAG. The other Components are in there, and are doing their jobs, but the player feels as if the HANDS are CONTROLLING the entire machine.
