"If you start using the right tricept too soon you are dead" Lynn also said.
What might be the a trigger point to focus on to allow proper timing for the beginning of the right forearms thrust to low point.
You do not want the right arm to straighten before impact. This is running out of right arm. Remember- just past Low point- which is just in front of the ball does the right arm fully become straight. A hitter stops at the Top- shoulder high and On Plane. The Pivot Lag Train will prevent over the top and keep the body ahead of the Hands. The correct use of the Right Shoulder is the key.

On a slightly different subject, I am spending most of my practice time working on improving my lagging procedure. Already while I am executing my start down waggle, I also have to focus on my down hinge in an attempt to increase the lag storage for my swing. Any thoughts on the coordination of the right forearm thrust with the necessity of avoiding losing any lag pressure prematurely. Does the right forearm play an active role in helping to sustain the lag, or is that the sole responsibility of the storing left wrist.
A Hitter needs to set his Flying Wedges and leave them be until Impact.
Pivot Lag keeps the hands back so you don't run out of right arm too soon. Trust Impact Fix alignments of your Wedges.
"focus on my down hinge"- this is Float Loading Accumulator Lag. This is something not usually done by a Hitter.
"Does the right forearm play an active role in helping to sustain the lag, or is that the sole responsibility of the storing left wrist."
Storing the left wrist is solely Accumulator Lag. Outside of TGM- it is what everyone thinks of as Lag - the Lag of Hogan or Garcia. But TGM has three types of Lag - Pivot Lag, Accumulator Lag and Clubhead Lag.
Pivot Lag is the dragging of components in sequence from the bottom up.
Accumulator Lag is an out of line condition of the Flail- it is loaded- cocked and released. I think this is what you want to do better. Set your Wedge alignments and trust them as a Hitter. A Hitter loads his right elbow.
Clubhead Lag is the Pressure of the club against Pressure point three. You will feel this pressure, not the clubhead, as you change direction in the stroke. The feel of the pressure points is everything, the feel of the dead weight of the clubhead is nothing without pressure point feel. The right forearm does lead the clubhead to impact On Plane as part of the right half of the Flying Wedges.
I would work on keeping the right elbow bent longer in the stroke and try to hit moles in the head at low point.
