Hi Yoda,
In your driving the golfball video,you STRESS making sure your right forearm is on plane before you will even begin your swing. Would you please go into some detail on this. How can I tell it's on plane...Does it change for each club.....type of shot ...etc ...?????
I know the question is for Yoda but I will attempt to make an answer until he does....
Lets just start with what is a plane of motion. A flat inclined plane (like a pitched roof- glossary) means that this is what the clubshaft travels on. The clubface may open or close but the clubshaft always rests upon it. You may notice that no matter what the incline the base line or plane line remains constant (1-L).
For the right forearm to be on plane and to enable a zero shift stroke the right forearm must be a virtual extension of the club (in the cup of the right hand with no wrist cock...eg moe norman) and since the address starts with the right wrist in a vertical condition means that the right forearm also rests on that plane.
So what is the inclined plane... im glad you asked .... in the ideal application it is the turned shoulder plane but it can be rotated but in other words it is where your right shoulder is going to turn to.... draw a line from the ball to the place where your right shoulder turns to at the end or top of the backstroke.....
So basically to give a direct answer and sum up - right forearm an virtual extension of the club from side view by the right wrist being in a level condition with no wrist cock and the clubshaft being in the cup of the right hand. The right forearm will then automatically point at the baseline. Then you also point the forearm to the point that your shoulder is going to turn to..... and evola an onplane forearm....
