[O.B.Left]

Yes. Fanning and bending like a hand clap. The RFT is a great and consistent way of taking the club away. I used to push things away with my shoulders and left arm, rocking the triangle. It caused all sorts of problems for me. RFT pulls the rest along in a reliable , consistent and perfectly aligned manner. The right arm pulls the left , the left arm pulls the left shoulder the perfect amount. Remember the distinction between upper and lower body as in the McDonald drills however. The right hip goes back and the right arm goes up.

With extensor action, a frozen right wrist and a cleared right hip the RFT alone seems to accomplish most everything for me on the backswing. Maybe Id add hinge action to the list here and alignments, flashlights etc.

The only thing Id add about your photos is that with your left arm off the club and therefor no check rein action you are obviously not employing extensor action here. Need to turn that extensor action on when both arms are attached for the full benefit of the RFT: Extension, the right elbow cocking the left wrist etc.

Its gets so simple, so easy to repeat. Like you are just taking that frozen right wrist to top.
