[O.B.Left]

This is a great post. I know some guys who really work the 4,1 but passive till almost straight then 2, 3. They've branched off a bit theoretically in a lot of what they do. Thats ok by me, what ever works. But I see you as having a pretty classic motion ... did you change instructors? Kidding!

Let me think on this stuff for a bit.

In the mean time here's my theoretical sticking point re getting the right arm on plane for any extended period of time (or near to it). Assuming the Right Arm Flying Wedge can stay intact throughout the swing and I think it can , should. In Startup assuming some amount of Right Wrist Bend any rotation of the shaft (which stays on plane lets say , leaving out the LCOG for simplicity) would rotate the Right Forearm under plane. The Right Forearm or an extension there of would thus point above the plane line. This would hold for any angled , bent thing , stick , branch whatever. I know Homer talks about Tracing with the right forearm but how can that be? Unless of course there was no rotating of the shaft and therefor face..........but wouldn't that be Steering?

So in short I see tracing with the #3pp , I see the shaft staying on plane and rotating but not with the Right Arm staying on plane assuming any Right Wrist bend.

Glad this has come up...
