Yes I realize the right forearm lifts at some point even in those strokes Matthew....
But those guys do not do a "Right Forearm Pickup" as it's commonly taught and referred to in TGM.
C'mon man....Tiger Woods? John Daly? Phil? etc. etc.
Look at this picture of Tiger...
That right forearm has lifted the primary lever assembly via the secondary hinge of the hinge assembly - (btw that isn't a metaphor).... otherwise it wouldn't be onplane...this cannot be done in any ANY other way...
Quote:
"From Address, lift your right forearm back, up, and in....take the club straight up the Turned Shoulder Plane. (with the right forearm)" (and straight down)
That's what I'm talking about.

What if I was to say that you could use a right forearm takeaway with any plane shift variation.... The right forearm takeaway is manditory, the plane shift variation is a variation - one that has got its own particular hazards in terms of getting to the turned shoulder plane at the top of the backstroke. You could very well double shift and still use a right forearm takeaway....or quadruple shift for that matter.... you can even cock your right wrist (which alters the forearms relation to the clubshaft) but still the only way that primary lever assembly is going upwards and still maintain the plane of the secondary lever assembly with its straight line relationship to the plane line is via the right forearm picking it up.... Ok so now we got that myth out the way.
The shoulder turn takeaway is not neither advisable or even an orthadox looking procedure IMO and this is not the procedure most commonly used on tour.
