The Magic of the Right Forearm action is in the right shoulder joint. The right elbow bending and straightening is a motion.

The TAKE-AWAY is the action by the right shoulder, but that is not the magic. I have a friend, David Orr who studies Kinesiology with a leading professor in a University in NC. He knows his stuff and can explain how the body moves and bends during a golf stroke. The information is fascinating but NONE of his students needs to know any of it to swing a golf club. Nobody is ever told that they move a certain bone with the wrong muscle. Kinesiology is crap to a golf stroke. Gobblygook. Homer stayed away from that stuff because tracing the plane Line (geometry) and loading and releasing power (physics) was what is real. Ever move your forearm with your thigh muscle? If I tell a 1 yr old kid to move his hand above his head, he ain’t thinking about what shoulder muscle he needs to move. He SIMPLY raises his hand. AND as Yoda taught us, the RFT is a simple clapping motion. Take a solemn oath. btw- Manzella hates the rft. Lynn Blake is the instructor that teaches it, re-introduced it to TGMdom. I'll stickk him him.

The magic of the Right Forearm is a tracing motion- a staying on the incline plane. It is the simultaneous and immediate movement of the Hands and clubhead- up and back (and In). Even though the incline plane is Flat, it controls the three dimensions of IMPACT when you are on it. Tracing its plane line achieves this. The Fanning (clap) of the forearm and folding of the elbow which raises the left arm and cocks the left wrist is the RFTake up. The lowering and straightening of the left arm and the left wrist uncocking is the down stroke. Together it is the Magic of the Right forearm. (7-3).
