I struggled with it as well. Then I sort of discovered the problem by accident and then looked on this site and saw a nice diagram of right forearm fanning and not only was I right, but that's when I finally understood learning feel from mechanics and that's when my game started to really improve dramatically.

For me, it's a bigger focus on the right elbow. That needs to stay in a fixed position (or very close to it) in the takeaway while the right forearm fans back. I was moving the right elbow in order to trace the plane line. I got home and got out a laser and found that yes, you can easily trace the plane line even if the right elbow is in a fixed position.

What I love about the right forearm takeaway is that there's no more consciously or subconscious thinking of where to take the club back in the backswing and trying to keep the clubface square. Now it's just 'fan the forearm' and you're usually set to go.

Richie,

Your new elbow position is very evident in the latest swing on your blog. Looks GREAT!!!
