right forearm above plane
If I set up with my right forearm above plane, as in a conventional setup, what compensations are necessary to HIT (not swing) effectively? Help!
Thanks!

Is there a reason that you want to keep the forearm above plane? You must have support on the aft side of the shaft.
I guess you could check all of your alignments at Impact Fix, including the Forearm alignment. Then you could see how many changes you'd have to make to get back to the poor alignment of the Forearm. I see no reasoning for it, unless you're a glutton for punishment.

Six years of playing with a conventional setup has made it very comfortable. Setting my right forearm on plane at address feels awkward, to say the least. Any thoughts?

If you are hitting, it is easier to start from impact fix. Thus the right forearm will be on plane.
It will not take as long as you think to become comfortable with the set up. I would suggest, as has Ted, you start there.
For hitting I made this change about 2 years ago. Just commit to it and trust it.

It felt just as awkward for me, for the first week. It very quickly became a mandatory part of the Address Routine. I would HIGHLY suggest feeling awkward for a short time. You'll learn to love the feeling, because results will soon follow.

I'll start working on it today and I'll post later to let you know how I'm doing and maybe get some more help. Any tips for developing lag pressure would probably help a bunch. Thanks guys!

Well, after shanking a couple of chips on the practice green (I did begin to chip very well, however), I went on to strike the ball on the range better than I have all year. I still think I should be able to generate a little more lag pressure, though. Any ideas?
