Back from dinner, so I'll finish my post.

First, the right forearm and clubshaft are not parallel to the plane line at the same time. See photos 8-5 and 9-2-5 #2.

Second, the Start Up Swivel doesn't add any more angle between the left forearm and clubshaft than the amount of #3 Accumulator Angle that was present at address (by virtue of the heel of the left hand being placed on top of the clubshaft).

Third, the Right Wrist Bend doesn't create an "up" (vertical) angle between the right forearm and clubshaft, unless you are "double-cocking" your right wrist. The bending of the Right Wrist is a horizontal only motion. The increase in angle of the clubshaft in relation to the Right Forearm is caused primarily by the cocking of the left wrist in the Backstroke. Lag, Drag and Inertia tend to increase that angle on the Downstroke.

Hi RWH, Thanks for your reply.

Prior to dinner for me but I'm getting real hungry!

I agree the right forearm and clubshaft are not parallel to the plane line at the same time, I was suggesting they may be parallel to the ground at the same time.

Not sure about your second point (how it relates?)

By right wrist bend creating a vertical angle I don't mean double wirst cocking, I mean that the as the right forearm fans (on plane)the club head leads the right wrist up plane. With single wrist action this is possible because the wrist does not turn. I'm just wondering whether once the wrist has turned (standard wrist action) the clubhead can lead the right forearm up plane (at least as much), because the bend is now oriented differently to the plane.

Does that make sense?
