We've been here before. We know the "Shoulder Turn Takeaway" Brian teaches is not the one defined in The Golfing Machine, since it does not involve a curved Plane Shift (i.e. Bent Plane Line) when done properly. Do a search on his site.
Guys i use the shoulder turn takeaway cause it gives me a much better feeling of 'swinging' the club back, but surely i can still use the right forearm pickup AS WELL to trace the correct plane line?

It is nothing to do with what you may feel powers the backstroke. The pivot is responcible to transport the power package and the right forearm role is to keep the club onplane using the plane line as its guide by tracing along it with the right forefinger. This is the only way your going to be onplane....
In other sports where the plane is easy to see, no one would even be debating. In snooker/pool no one debates whether it is advantageous to take the cue back and through on a straight line however when that plane becomes inclined like in golf suddenly its ok to bring it offplane... and that is nuts!

I've seen his video clip and he is way way offbase. In it he said that the reason that Homer taught the right forearm takeaway was to not to cock the right wrist... no mention of the onplane functions of the primary lever assembly having to move upwards against the vertical plane of the hinge action (the thing that isn't a metaphor, but defines specific left arm planes). He mentions pivot centers for each, which is a myth that he has created. It is not about what powers what - it is about being onplane or offplane. To be onplane like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson...etc, that right forearm has to lift the primary lever assembly via the secondary hinge.
It is NOT that weird thing he was doing when demonstrating. Brian is a GSED, and he answered a question based on golfing machine terminology and then got it so wrong...

Guys - If you want to discuss what Brian teaches, please do it on his site where he can defend and clarify the teaching. This forum is about Lynn and what he teaches. Leave the references to how other teachers do it elsewhere please.
Please edit your posts, or PM me and I'll do it.

This really has nothing at all to do with what Brian teaches. It however has everything to do with how people view the right forearm pickup due to his influence and how they percieve TGM. I think its a very important issue but edit it if you wish.... just leave in all the technical references.....

It's an important issue, and influences come from everywhere. I'm just asking that you address the issue without disparaging the source. Go to Brians site if you want to debate how he teaches it. I'm only interested in how Lynn teaches it.
No more finger pointing, and it's not going to come from this site. As of last night, Brian has made a commitment to do the same.

Im in full agreement with the finger pointing and won't happen again.
