[O.B.Left]

This is one of those pieces of the swing that I doubt I ever would have ever gotten right on my own. The folding right arm started much earlier and felt much more 'up' than I ever imagined, even after reading dozens of posts on the right forarm pickup (I had a 'duh' moment at Cuscowilla with this one). There is a lot of seemingly conflicting pieces of advice around this topic and it's easy to lose site of just tracing the plane line - eg. use less pivot and let the hands lead vs. use more to be sure and clear the right hip, don't lift the arms vs. lift the club from the start, etc... For me extensor action with an earlier bending, 'lifting' right arm was the trick that helped my pivot start taking orders from my hands on the way back. For the most part, the right arm is just folding up and down, and the pivot responds as needed to my intent to trace the plane line. Again for me that meant a little more active right arm and pivot with less active hands, but I imagine it could be totally different for others.

Thanks, Ben.

There is a terrific video in your post. It may not be 'Moses at The Parting', but for TGMers, it would be close.

My incongruent economic lives -- and my own inertia -- collide in this deficit.

Sorry.

Thanks Yoda and Bambam

I missed these posts at the time, this enticing Sneak Preview, Trailer for a "Moses at The Parting" movie for TGM ers on the Right Forearm Pickup.

Yoda, If time doesnt allow for the making of a movie, would you please type us a little note on the "Pickup" and right elbow bending? This is something we are all probably struggling with. How do we get the Magic Of The Right Forearm to work on the backswing? You need Extensor Action I'd imagine, like Bambam.

PS Here is a video of your pal Billy Casper showing us his takeaway, down the line this time. How bout this elbow bending?
