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.
Ok fair enough. Good post.
So long as it (RFT), in the way that I always see it used ("Now lift the club up the plane with your r. forearm...") is not the only way. (and not always ONLY with the r. forearm, by itself)
R. forearm lifts in all strokes.
Cool.

That right forearm is very cool indeed .
I've been trying to show here is the role of the right forearm and its participation at startup controls all three dimensions of the onplane golf stroke simultaneously and its influences on the left arm as the power package is transported.

There is a good discussion of this topic in the Archives "Magic Of The Right Forearm / Elbow Action GM#1" at http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=2667 It is my understanding that "tracing" with the right forearm is only useful approaching, at impact, and beyond. In the backswing, once the right elbow starts to bend to raise the club and the right forearm begins to point upward it is no longer a useful toll for tracing. In fact I've never heard of anyone advocating "tracing" in the backswing, the most heard 'tool' for keeping on plane being the "either end of the club is pointing at the plane line, or the club is parallel to it".
