I know youre big on what you term the right forearm angle of approach. Is this the same concept as the visual equivalent angle of approach? Or literally the right forearms path as seen to the golfers eye?

Please don't say it's the same as the visual equivalent!

Its not the same.

You have the Right Forearm Flying Wedge with its Frozen Right Wrist. The Right Forearm is ALWAYS Driving.

1. The Right Forearm travels On Plane from Release to Low-Point.
2. Being On Plane, it travels Downward and Outward.
3. The Right Forearm Flying Wedge lies fully on the Plane as it seeks Low-Point.
4. The Left Hand Rolls, the Bent Right Wrist does not.
5. When the Right Forearm traveling to Low-Point guides the Primary Lever Roll, it causes the Hinge Pin in the Left Shoulder to Align Vertical to a given Plane (it constrains the shoulder joint to act as a Hinge and not a Ball Joint).
6. As the Ball is moved Back from Low-Point, it also moves inward so you must Steepen the Plane (steepen the Orbit), which changes the Angle of Approach and AUTOMATICALLY FIXES Less Right Wrist Bend.
7. If you only move the Ball aft on the existing Plane Line, you also, inadvertently relocated Low Point aft of the Left Shoulder. You must move the Ball inward when you move the ball aft so Low-Point is controlled below or Forward of the Left Shoulder.
8. Low Point Location is Adjusted Primarily by the Right Shoulder. Adjust the Right Shoulder by Adjusting Stance Width.
9. The Steeper the Orbit, the Faster the Closing Ratio of the Right Forearm Angle of Approach.
10. Short Irons have slower Clubhead Speeds than Longer Clubs. Slower Clubhead Speed has a shorter Impact Interval. Shorter Impact Intervals need faster Closing Ratios to sustain the Line of Compression. 1/4, 1/2,3/4 or a full 1 degree or more can be adjusted quite readily by adjusting the Right Forearm Angle of Approach.
11. By Adjusting the Plane Angle, the Ball can be located to various locations Aft of Low-Point and the Right Forearm Angle of Approach will produce Straightaway Ball Flight.
12. The Right Forearm Angle of Approach returns the Left Wrist to Level at Impact.
13. Hitters and Swingers use the same Right Forearm Angle of Approach with Only a change in Elbow Location due to "Loading" the Primary or Secondary Lever.

So much more. It needs a video demonstration of the Alignments. The Concept will "Click" with anyone who has knowledge of TGM. All of these Alignments can be determined and finalized ("Accommodated at Impact Fix") within about 3 seconds. I know, it sounds crazy. But every Adjustment is created by "Set-up" and not by trying to Swing or Hit Differently. That's probably why even great players have different results because of a minor, inadvertent change in set-up - especially Stance Width and Distance from the Ball.

By Adjusting the Right Forearm Angle of Approach, a player can add Layback to the Horizontal Hinge to produce an Angled Hinge or remove Closing from an Angled Hinge to produce a Vertical Hinge.

Homer said that if he knew of the "Right Forearm Angle of Approach" he may not have published the book. It's truly amazing to me that he was able to write the book without knowing its separate identity.
