Jeff - I agree the clap position is a great way to learn the RFT, but only if combined with learning the startup swivel, hence why there are 2 EdZ drills!
The level right wrist being a huge part of understanding how the swivel and the clap blend.
Yoda - would agree that besides the turn\swivel, the clap move does show how the right arm moves?
Jeff - the other big key in my view, at least for a swingers RFT is that the elbows stay the same distance apart and point down. This helps ensure the turn is on plane during RFT, and that the loading action on PP#3 is rotated "on line". (wheel rim)
For hitter's, the key is the paddle wheel (wheel track) feel of your photos.
