The illustration in my previous post was quickly drawn to illustrate that the Elbow Plane isn't the only
plane available at start-up. Below, more accurately illustrates and describes the purpose of the
Right Forearm Takeaway.
The Right Forearm Takeaway path is illustrated on the right.
No shifts. Both, the Backstroke and Downstroke have Straight Line Paths.
The Left Arm Checkreign with Right Forearm Takeaway will FORCE the Forearm and Clubshaft Up the Plane that the Right Forearm defined at Address.

7-3 The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the Clubshaft must take throughout the Stroke (2-J-3).

The Right Forearm Takeaway will insure a three dimensional Start-up and offers the best chance of achieving a Three Dimensional Impact.
As it goes up, it comes down.

2-F But precision is lost unless Start Up is Three Dimensional parallel to the Three Dimensional Impact, i.e. the Clubhead moves Backward, Upward, and Inward – On Plane – INSTANTLY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY. See 3-F-5.

The #3 Pressure Point should Trace the Straight Base Line of the inclined Plane during Start-up.

7-23 For a Line “Equivalent”, the Hands from Takeaway to The Top AND BACK AGAIN, sense the Clubshaft as a wheel SPOKE tracing a straight line extension of the selected Delivery Path. So the player envisions – is consciously aware of – a straight line wheel TRACK motion (rather than its rotation) toward and on through the Ball.

The Shoulder Turn Takeaway leads to a Plane Shift.

10-6-B TURNED SHOULDER This reference point is primarily the point reached by the Right Shoulder after a Flat Backstroke Shoulder Turn. But any other controlled Shoulder Turn can also provide an acceptable reference point. See 10-13-0. This Plane Angle has far better performance characteristics than any other because any Plane Angle Shift is very hazardous. This procedure does not refer to the disruptive Shoulder Turn Takeaway – which is always too “Flat” and/or too “Low” making a Plane Angle Shift mandatory and usually unintentional and unsuspected. Study 7-3 and 10-24-F.
