1) Peek at my 06 Magic of the Right Forearm document. There are passages of other teachers including YODA explaining how to get that Right Forearm on plane at address.

2) It takes away the need for more compensations.

"Address the ball with your Left Wrist Level and your Right Forearm On Plane. Until you do this, you are wasting your time in a sea of compensations." -- LYNN BLAKE

3) Absolutely. Except for the Imperatives.

"I don't care what you do, as long as you know how you do it." -- HOMER KELLEY

4) Here is what Mr. Kelley said towards the end. I believe this would include the TSP...

"If I were starting to play golf, this is what I would concentrate on. It's what it all boils down to. It's even simpler than The Triad."

• At Fix, establish your Flat, Level and Vertical Left Wrist and your On Plane Right Forearm Angle of Approach (7-3).

• At Start Up, take your Hands Up, Back, and In on the Plane of your Right Forearm.

• Through Impact, return to the Fix Hand Location and the established Right Forearm Angle of Approach.
From that foundation, focus on the imperatives and essentials while monitoring the pressure points. Sounds simple, and it works for me. I'm not sure yet if this simplicity can totally work in with my teaching, but I believe anyone can master basic hitting no matter what their physical condition. As players get more advanced, they add Power Accumulators until we get to 4 Barrel Hitting.

5) Good question. I'll leave that one for the others.

As always, just my opinions, please see my signature. I will sit back and learn from the others along with you.

I have 3 imperatives for the newbie and one "essential."

What Makes An Imperative?

A recent seeker asked why the Right Forearm should not be considered a G.O.L.F.Imperative, since "if it is On-Plane, the Secondary Lever Assembly (the Club) is also On-Plane." Good question. Here's the answer:

The Three Imperatives are those hammered-down G.O.L.F. absolutes that control the Three Functions (Clubface, Clubhead, and Clubshaft) through the Three Stations (Address, Top, and Finish).

Imperative #1. Per 1-L #4, the Hinge Assembly controls the precision alignment of the Clubface. The responsibility of executing precision Hinge motions rests solely with the Flat Left Wrist.

Imperative #2. Per 1-L #7, #10 and #11, 6-C-1 #3, and 6-C-2-0, the #3 Pressure Point controls the Clubhead Lag Pressure. Hence, the Clubhead Lag Pressure Point earns the rank of an Imperative.

Imperative #3. Finally, per 1-L #16, the Straight Plane Line controls the Clubhead Line-of-Flight. While the Right Forearm has the very important responsibility of tracing the Plane Line -- and thereby maintaining the Clubshaft (or more accurately, the Sweetspot) On-Plane -- it is not the Plane Line itself.

So, the Right Forearm is a very important weapon in the Player's arsenal for precison G.O.L.F. But, since it is not the ultimate control of any one of the Three Functions, it cannot be considered an Imperative.

This should clear the fog on the immediate question and offer insights on countless others as well.

Starting points!
