Right Forearm supporting the Plane
 

A long time ago I thought I heard that the right forearm supports the left arm and thus the plane. Is this true?
And if this is true, does it support it at 90* to plane?
And if that is true does that mean the upper body tilt is 90* to plane? because many times I have heard 'look how well his right forarm matches his spine at the top'

Right forearm supporting the plane
 

Dear readers! As a newcomer in the TGM society I am not the person to do analyses according to the TGM book(which I have recently accquired). However, the feeling of the right hand leading the arm out to the right field,bypassing a steady right hip, with the club following, and resulting in a decent draw is the greatest Aha experience I have ever had. Therefore I do not occupy myself with plane thoughts but with a feeling of the club lagging behind the hands, producing a hit I have never ever experienced . I sincerely believe that a detailed row of technical thoughts may destroy a swing. Therefore I myself just try to promote a feel of my hands leading the swing from the inside and abolish those geometric thoughts that may create a deceleration in the downswing.Am I wrong, or?

You are not wrong for yourself, but for some others we like to or need to put TGM into our own images of comprehension. I am by nature mathmatical and spatial so the analysis provided here helps me with the understanding of the imperatives of my golf swing. However when I am on course these 'spatial' relationships go completely into feel and imagery. Understanding beforehand only makes these feels and images clearer.
So there you go.

I am far from proficient in TGM myself. But, my understanding is; at the top of the swing for a hitter, the right arm is at a 90* angle to the shaft and the shaft plane. I don't believe it is the same for a swinger.
