right arm pickup

[6bmike]

In Yodas video cannot tell if inside of forearm is square to target or angled down (elbow pointing out) or angled upward (elbow pointing down).

Also, since Tomasello states that in hitting the elbow moves back more in backswing that would seem to indicate square to target.

Is it the same for swinging?

Do not have the book.

Rumbler, The forearm rotates throughout the swing. It is more imporant to monitor the hands than the forearms. Where are the hands at impact? This is what you (or anyone) needs to learn. The left arm will always be OFF plane , higher than the right ON PLANE elbow.

SwingN2S was not being offensive to you.
I cannot see how reading his post you think he offended you. He just wanted you to bend at the elbow and not lift the whole right arm straight (to parallel to the ground) on the take-away. He was teaching a right forearm take-away. Learning how to fold and unfold the right arm at the elbow is key to a good swing.

"Any other Drills or FEELS for this procedure... that will ensure the FOREARM and club are traveling UP the plane, and not too much back and in... that can be done without another person's assistance?"

I was once told to make it feel like:
Picking up your cell phone keeping your right wrist bent and level.

I never have been able to answer the phone the same since.
