You're right, 300Drive. Most pros do use a Shoulder Turn Takeaway. It's the way we were taught: "Take it back low and slow."
Unfortunately, at the very least, allowing the Shoulder Turn to dominate the Start Up puts the Stroke on an Elbow Plane, which is Flatter than the ideal Turned Shoulder Plane, thus requiring the Plane Shift that Drewitgolf refers to in his post above. In many cases, it actually puts the Club below Plane, an Off Plane condition that must be corrected no later than the Start Down. Both scenarios earned Homer Kelley's Warning Label:
"...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."
When integrating the Right Forearm Takeaway into your Stroke, just be sure to maintain the separate identities and alignments of the Three Zones. In fact, I recommend you practice your Zone #1 (Body Control) independently of Zone #3 (Ball Control). Spend time in drill -- use a mirror and look, look LOOK! -- training first your Pivot (to Turn the Right Shoulder back to the Plane) and then your Right Forearm (to Trace the Plane Line).
Then put the two together, but always...
Let the Hands control.
