RCW,

Jaminid's answer is on the money. And because the Hands -- specifically the #3 Pressure Point -- are always On Plane, then when the Right Elbow is On Plane, the Right Forearm is also On Plane.

In an extensive discussion of this point, Homer stated that he found no benefit in attempting to keep the Right Forearm On Plane except as Jaminid has described, i.e., during the Address Routine and Start Up and during the Release Interval (through Impact to Follow-Through). The guiding principles are:

1. At Fix, establish your Flat, Level and Vertical Left Wrist and your On Plane Right Forearm Angle of Approach (7-3).

2. At Start Up, take your Hands Up, Back, and In on the Plane of your Right Forearm.

3. Through Impact, return to the Fix Hand Location and the established Right Forearm Angle of Approach.

"If I were starting to play golf, this is what I would concentrate on. It's what it all boils down to. It's even simpler than The Triad."
