I have become totally enamored with the right forearm on plane at set up. Now I'm trying to figure out why so many argue against it? What are the down sides?
It has helped me TREMENDOUSLY, and is something I never even thought about until studying Brian Gay's swing on Yoda's video.
We have a member at my club who is a multiple winner on the LPGA, and has played in several Solheim Cups. She is known as an excellent ball striker who is a bit weak in the putting department. I was watching her hit balls yesterday, guess where she sets her right forearm?
Not only does she set it right on plane EVERY TIME, but she was doing a slow motion drill that looked a lot like right forearm tracing. I didn't say anything or ask any questions as I don't want to say anything that would freak her out if she's fragile. Her teacher is Sam Carmichael from Indiana University. Does anyone know if he is TGM based?

Not sure what fragile looks like in your part of the world Kev...but she sounds like she can handle a question or two !!
Sergio sets it up on plane when at preliminary address too..then adjusts himself to start swing with the shaft below forearm...but he sets the club every time on plane in preliminary address.
I still feel that you set the head and body angles with it on plane...then do whatever...arrange your wedges somehow and then thwumppp....

Lady in "Red"?
BTW, side track a bit...what did Momoko Ueda do with the right forearm here:-
