Thanks Spike. That's where I was trying to go with my poorly worded EA question.

I am not saying that the right forearm in not an up and down motion. What I am saying is that when the right forearm is moved in a 'level' manner the clubhead moves more so in a back, up and in direction. If I do this with the shaft resting on a bench it works perfectly....no illusion.

That being said, the only true "backward" movement of the clubhead would be found more in the lagging clubhead takeaway.

I totally agree that the right forearm is moving up and down and can be felt like a karate chop action or even that of a hammering action.

As I see it the combination of EA and RFT is fanning such as in the Basic Motion. The combination of EA, RFT and Pivot is fanning plus right elbow bend in the Acquired Motion. If continued further then it moves into Total Motion. The right elbow must bend due to the checkrein of the left arm connection.

The feeling or illusion of being level in the beginning of the movement keeps everything on plane as long as the elbow doesn't move out of its alignment like in a chip shot. And, as long as it doesn't out run the pivot in longer shots.
If I add extra strong EA and make that hammering or chopping motion, I then feel like I have very "tight" control of # 3 PP and I then enjoy hitting the begeebers (technical term Daryl and OB may not understand) out of the ball with lots of control and vigor (not Viagra, Daryl, calm down with those skanky pics you've been perusing).

If I just do a "easy" EA, I can't really enjoy the control of # 3 pp like I feel I need to for golfing fun and financial gain. Of course, I don't belong to a fancy club like DARYL, but I do enjoy my modest municipal course where a $2 Nassau is a big deal.
