Its 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 Shoulders 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".

Putting on the other hand, with little or no Shoulder Turn would have a much simpler Right Arm motion. Pure Fanning. Either way the Hands travel an Inclined Plane. The Right Arm is attached to the Right Shoulder, any movement of the Right Shoulder affects the Right Arm.

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".

You can start your Shoulders turning and RFT at the same time in Startup, if you wish ( I dont personally) and still be Hands to Pivot! If you're on plane , you're good! Its not "Hands then Pivot" its "Hands controlled Pivot" or "Hands to Pivot".

Me personally I feel like my Right Hip turns back then I RFT with my Right Elbow bending right off the get go, Fanning, Tracing etc. Not so much a feel of my Shoulders turning ......that gets me into my old , rock the two straight arms takeaway.......a geometric disaster, Angled Hinging, outside the plane, #2 Angle blocker, no Magic. NO RIGHT ARM BENDING! Now, I feel like my Right Arm pulls my string like Left Arm which tugs my left shoulder around........maybe its just a feel. I dunno. I really suffered with that Push the Triangle away with two stiff arms thing.

Bending the Right Elbow was the second thing Yoda taught me, right after we got the Right Forearm on plane at Address. It was about lunch time on our first day and he said "You know , we could stop right now and you'd probably achieve your goals in golf with just these things". Brain Gay says much the same thing in his Premium Video on this site. Its a must see actually for anyone interested in TGM. Brilliant and affordable. An hour or so filled with insights of all kinds.

I hope to find some time today to put a towel on my head and RFT with pp1-3 to China!
Kev pointed out something to me today he found in Yoda's sequence where the trademark of his glove is just before, into and after impact. Just a little more gold.
I am actually playing 18 holes with the team today so I will have to exhibit what I preach. That ain't gonna be easy.

Watch the Right Arm and Elbow from 3:19 to 3:60 (pay special attention to 3:50). This is a 3 dimensional Impact. This is the "Hit Down" and through on a Straight Line Hands Path to Both Arms Straight (Fanning automatically Included). Using this Action and Driving the Primary Lever causes Angle Hinging. This same Action with a Loaded Secondary Lever causes Horizontal Hinging.

If there was a single motion that causes compression, this is it (With a Bent Right Wrist). It's completely dependent on Right Elbow Location and can be trained without a Club. Adding Extensor Action after the Straight Line Motion is learned will give Total Control.

My wife thought I should do the yard first, then try to sneak the practice in before the rain.
