In each of the Major Basic Strokes (10-3-A/B/C) the Hands are initially
positioned on a line between the Clubhead and the Right Elbow. In the Push
Basic Stroke, the Hands, Forearm and Elbow move Up and Back on an extension
of that line, and the Hands thus remain between the Elbow and the Ball. In
the Punch and Pitch Basic Strokes, the Hands and Forearm 'Fan,' i.e., move in
an arc around the Elbow. The Fanning Motion is always On Plane, and the Left
Wrist Action (10-18) will determine the degree and timing of the Forearm's
Turn (if any).

The Fanning of the Right Forearm is a simple concept. To see just how simple,
clap your hands continuously a few times. Did your Right Elbow move
back and forth 'on a line?' No. Did your Hands make a natural arc around your
Elbow? Yes.

Congratulations! You just Fanned your Right Forearm. And, you did it exactly
right! :oops:
