Next, do it using Extensor Action without your Right Elbow bending more that 90 degrees.

Homers "Magic of the Right Forearm" cannot be practiced or Understood without Extensor Action. When he says, Raises and Lowers, he means that different amounts of Right Arm Bend will determine the Steepness of the Plane for the Power Package.

Use the demonstration above. Only allow your Right Elbow to bend a couple of inches while using extensor Action and notice how Steep your Hands Rise. Now allow your Right Elbow to bend 90 degrees and witness how low (shallow plane) your Hands Rise.

So, different Length Clubs include a different degree of right elbow bend which causes the hands to rise to steeper or shallower planes. All of this is automatic with the Extensor Action Takeaway.



And...when the third side changes Length, the Left Arm crosses the Chest. There are Two ways to Bend The Right Arm, but only one Power Package Acceleration Sequence. If you keep the Right Elbow Tucked to the Side (Hogan-esque) the Hand Acceleration Stage is stifled.




From all of the above, one would understand that the Straightening of the Right Arm is where Release begins. It's Ok to use a Right Arm Throw but it's not OK to over-Bend the Right Arm or Bend The Right Arm in Such a Way that the Right Elbow loses it's 3 Dimensional Start-Up or Start-Down or, Like Hogan, the Right Forearm is taken Off-Plane and the struggle to Re-Plane the Right Forearm at release ensues.

The Right Arm Throw is not perfectly Compatible with Pivot Strokes. You need compensations if you use it with a Pivot Stroke. That's fine for normal Golfers and Pro's, but if searching for the "Uncompensated Swing", it's not ok.

If you use Extensor Action, then the Hands are Lifted at the Shoulder Sockets and the Right Elbow will not stay Tucked to the Side.

This is the kind of post that makes outsiders say that TGM is a Cult . . . This is more complicated and hard to read than the dang book.
