Right Forearm too high
 

2-F. The Right Forearm of every hacker comes into Impact too high - pointing beyond the Delivery Line during Downstroke.

Besides tracing the Plane Line, is there a bulletproof vest for this?

Impact Fix


Especially for hitting - very helpful because you can really feel the 'slot' to go straight up with the right forearm pickup
The 'feel' for me is being able to keep the clubshaft 'between my forearms' as I do the RFP when hitting. The left thumb going 'up the plane, down the plane' - between the forearms. Or PP#1 if that visual works better for you. The key is starting at fix with the right forearm in proper position and keeping the level/uncocked right wrist, up and down the plane.

Let's you be very still and really 'smash' - for a hitter. See Ted's pattern.

Swinger
 

EdZ:

Any thoughs on the swingers side?

Same re: impact fix - always good to check. From there, going back to standard address (mid body hands), gives you a very good feel for the right forearm, especially if you use a 'dragging/lagging' takeaway.

The more you can focus on the motion/action of the right forearm, the better you will get. It is the 'magic' of the machine.

Hitting small chip shots right hand only can be very helpful, make certain to monitor the bent right wrist and keep it to follow through.

Thanks for the reply Edz but I think you are still advocating tracing the Plane Line with the Right Forearm. Although I believe the theory is 100 percent correct, I have trouble implementing it. I was hoping to find another way of looking at the problem such as if the Right Arm is too high then its reciprocal, the Left Arm, must be too low and perhaps there is some technique for keeping that on this correct path, which might be easier to control yet still produce the desired result.

Learn to return the Right Forearm to it's Right Forearm Angle of Approach . . . Got the the Yoda video on I think it is Delivery? And you can see how the Right Forearm Angle of Approach is shown with a dowel. See it. Learn it. Live it.

Also feel like your pivot is moving Crossline . . . to right field. This will get you some mo' axis tilt and your right hip cleared.
