I read a caption for a Hunter Mahan sequence that said something to the effect that the bent right arm "stabilizes the club face." The face flashes closed when the left wrist bends as a result of the right arm. I understand that hinge action is a function of the left wrist, I am refering to the influence the right elbow has on the #3 Acc. Daryl's rigid power package crusade helped me see this. Check out Furyk's at right elbow at end and impact! Amazingly there is not as much variance as you would think. My best swing thought EVER "Take the bend through the ball!" I may have the pull that has plagued me for 20 years whipped!
I agree Okie.

How about taking it one step further. The set up. In setting up the way YODA teaches, right forearm on plane, you have to lower your right shoulder at address to get there. The lower the right shoulder at impact, the less chance of running out of right arm.

Setting up with my COGs aligned, level and centered, I have the problem of running out of right arm.

YODA's set up ideas solve the problem, makes it a no-brainer...
