ts the Hands that travel the Plane, which given different amounts of Shoulder turn from Basic Motion to Total Motion requires different Right Forearm motions. See the Major and Minor Basic Strokes 10-3. It sounds complicated but it isnt...........our Hand/eye ability is profound, we do similar things all the time , every day. We Hands to Pivot our way around in this world of ours, without thinking about it.

Go to Top (not End) , return your Shoulder to their Address position without allowing the Hands to drop................look at where the Hands are in relation to where they were at Address. You have isolated the Hand's travel. It isnt as big as you might think. Its a little Right Forearm Fanning and a little Bending Up, in some combination or other. It could be Fanning and then Bending or it could be both at the same time.........up to you and your Plane Angle , Plane Shifting "needs".

Its this maintenance of the Hands to the desired Plane Angle via a RFT and Tracing that separates a pure Shoulder Turn Takeaway (where the Hands follow along to where the Pivot directs them, always under plane), "Pivot to Hands" from "Hands to Pivot".
Hi everyone! School has been crazy here, with a feckless admin. hiding in their offices while the teachers maintain control of the classrooms. Anyway, I am so pleased with the excellent spirit and detailed knowledge you all share so generously! Awesome!

The right hand pickup to the shoulder is truly effective and easy. It's practice brings to mind several other questions I hope will help me and many others.

1) RFT can be done from standard address or impact fix.
2) What factors determine your address position in your total motion as a golfer in our system?
3) I have looked at so many Yoda videos that I do impact fix in my sleep and have to fight not to do it.I am firing down on pp#1 with my right arm after I plant the left foot or brace it trying to keep my plane intact at all costs. (My home course is a par 71 and my hcp index is now 18.1 I started at 21 this year.) Impact fix helps me visualize Kevin's inclined table. But OB, Jerry and Daryl were nice enough to point out important hinge issues, arm issues, un-cocking issues and crossline considerations. All these concerns have me imagining a beautiful mahogony table even harder! LMAO : ) I don't want to get lost and go back to the 21 hcp index! BUT MAYBE I CAN TWEAK SOMETHING TO DROP ANOTHER 6 STROKES OFF MY INDEX IN TWO WEEKS. Maybe if I become a better "impact fixer" or switch to standard address, I can see the heavens open and Jesus (not one of my kids in first period) putting a towel on my head as he smiles!
