I'm real new to TGM, in fact just finished the little yellow book. I'm experimenting with the RFT and I also noticed a lack of face rotation in s the start up. Feels like I'm holding it square to target or hooding. This is really different for me cuz I've always done the old one piece takeaway with focus on the shoulders.
Further to this, Homer mentions "fanning" but I'm not certain of the motion he's describing, during start-up or down swing?
Found it in the archives, yet I'm still foggy. When I start up I feel like I can trace the plane line to parallel but the face is closed.

Millrat,
I am also new to TGM but I try to pay attention to detail...especially in the AMAZING videos that we are lucky enough to have here at LynnBlakeGolf.com. One thing I can recall, which is relavent to your question, is from video #2 with Yoda and Jeff Hull. About 9 minutes in, just before the cows interrupt Yoda as he is dispensing his priceless basic motion knowledge he is actually demonstates this right forearm fanning.
You probably have the video...if not download it, and get the answer you seek from Yoda himself. The best source possible on the planet Earth.
When I was on the golf course today I found this right forearm fanning motion very useful as the end of my backswing for short pitch shots. It also was an integral part of my backswing on the very best full swings that I had.
