The Hands feel Alignments, and subordinate all components of the Golf Stroke to its command for performing one single imperative; Trace the Plane Line. The Hands sense the Planes angle and Direction and of the two, the direction is more important. The Hands feel only a straight Path to the Plane Line, not curved or angled. Deviation from that straight path, such as plane Shifts Up or Down, forces the Hands to comply with Pivot Positions rather than the Pivot Components complying with the Hands Alignments. The Hands will gladly pass out assignments to the Pivot rather than be thrown around and told to “hang-on”. Geometry over Physics.

The Path and location that the Right Elbow travels, determines The Path and location that the Hands travel. If the Right Elbow truly controls all three elements of a three-dimensional impact, then harnessing the Right Elbow is essential to controlling the Golf Ball. We have three tools at our disposal, which together allow the Hands control of the Right Elbow. “The Magic of the Right Forearm”, “The Right Forearm Flying Wedge” and “Extensor Action”.

Short Swings such as Basic Motion, Chips and Putts, require the Hands to Control the Right Elbow and Arms. Longer Swings draw more Components into Motion and Action and thus, more Components and Actions for the Hands to Control.
D . . . agree with you here to a point . . . BUT the right arm IS connected to the right shoulder. Shoulder Motion, Hip Action, Knee Action, Axis Tilt all play a BIG role in the Hand Path components and On-Plane or Off-Plane alignments . . . In turn varying the location of the Right Elbow. This is why the Snares are very important. You can have very good aligments in the Power Package and still hit it all over the place if your Plane Angle is compromised by faulty Shoulder Motion (which could stem from other preceding components). . . and the Right Elbow location is very important not just in relation to the body . . . but maybe more so in relation to the BALL.
