WHich part of the forearm traces?
I erroneously used to think that lining up the middle finger and the cartilige runnning down the length of the forearm constituted level. Consequently, I traced the geometric plane with the center of the forearm or cartilige.

6B's photos showed the correct level wrist as show in this thread :http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=897. SInce Homer was very specific defining every angle , line, orientation etc., I wonder if one is supposed to trace the plane line with the top of the level right wrist and thumbside of the forearm, as shown in that pic, represented by the black line under the word Level?

Thanks

People always talk about tracing the Straight Plane Line with right forearm/pp#3. That works if you actually have a flash tied to your pp#3. For most people practicing on the driving range or playing on the course, this is not a practical procedure. So, do you just have to ingrain the machanics into feel at home and try to maintain this the correct feel on the course, or is there another way? Please share your experience!

Tong,

Lets opt for Home Study.

Go to a room with a Venitian blind in it.

Lower the Venitian blind.

Locate yourself a few feet in front of this Venitian blind.

Put your Right Forearm in front of you, parallel to the floor.

Now Bend your Right Wrist back.

Now 'crook' your Right Forefinger into a 'Question Mark.'

Now lower your Forearm and point your 'Question Mark' at the bottom of the Venitian blind and Trace every straight line of each blade in the blind until you get to the top.

I think you get it now.
