Right Elbow Bend And the On Plane Right Forearm
Originally Posted by tongzilla

Your Right Forearm isn't going to be On Plane unless your Right Shoulder is at its Impact Fix Alignment, which requires the correct amount of Axis Tilt. So, for a Swinging procedure where you use the Classic Address, the Right Forearm will be almost On Plane, but not exactly since the Right Shoulder is too high.
Assuming a Pivot Stroke and a Line Delivery Path, the Classic Adjusted Address position with its Between-the-Feet Pivot Center and equally-distributed Weight (Centered Hips) does not permit the Right Shoulder to be in its Impact Location. Hence, the Right Elbow Bend will be less at Address than at Impact. However, the On Plane Right Forearm at Address requires neither the Impact Fix degree of Right Elbow Bend nor the Down Plane Right Shoulder that creates it.

Remember, the purpose of the Pivot Stroke Delivery (6-K-0) is to bring the Assembled and Loaded Power Package (including the now fully-Bent Right Elbow) deep into the Release area before Triggering. At Address, the On Plane Right Forearm requires only that the Right Elbow be On Plane, not that it be fully-Bent and certainly not that it be in its Impact Location.

There is one other very important factor that affects both the degree of Right Elbow Bend and the alignment of the Right Forearm, and that is the Left Wrist Condition. At Address, the Wrist should be Level -- just as it is at Impact -- and not the slightest bit Cocked. This alignment slightly raises the Hands -- Level means Level, not Uncocked -- thereby permitting additional Right Elbow Bend. Simultaneously, it positions the Clubshaft more In-Line with the Left Forearm and, hence, also with the Right Forearm.
