Have you hugged your Right Forearm today?

It's 10:30 do you know where your RIGHT FOREARM is????

Ok boys, you can learn a lot Circle Geometry, Line Geometry, and Plane Geometry from your Right Forearm . . .

When in doubt consult the book!

The Right Forearm has what Koolaid Sippers call an ANGLE OF APPROACH . . . WTF is that?

the Right Wrist Bend, along with Ball Location and Plane Angle determine the precise RIGHT FOREARM ANGLE OF APPROACH (7-3).

7-3 STROKES – BASIC Hitting or Swinging, it is the Right Forearm – not just the Right Hand and/or Clubshaft – that must be thrown, or driven, into Impact per 7-2-3. And study 7-11. ALWAYS, for all procedures, the Right Forearm is position “On Plane” – pointing at the Plane Line as the Angle of Attack (2-N). The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the Clubshaft must take throughout the Stroke (2-J-3). The “Angle of Approach” position of the Right Forearm shows the precise Cross-Line direction the Forearm must take through Impact. It, thereby, precisely locates the visual Impact Point – where the eye must direct the Pressure Point #3 – the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball. Remember, the Actual Angle of Approach of the Clubhead is determined by Ball Position (2-N) so the Cross Line position of the Right Forearm is ONLY the On Plane Forearm Thrust per 1-L-9/10/11. Even with the Pitch Basic Stroke. So the Right Forearm must leave – and precisely return to – its own Fix Position (7- “Angle of Approach” (regardless of the true Clubhead Angle of Approach) because both procedures will produce identical Clubhead Delivery Lines.

Furthermore, in compliance with 6-B-3-0-1, Bending and Straightening the Right Elbow will RAISE AND LOWER the Left Arm and/or COCK AND UNCOCK the Left Wrist with out Bending, Flattening or Cocking the Right Wrist. Practice this first at Impact Fix. So, the Right Elbow Action either powers and/or controls all three elements of Three Dimensional Impact (6-C-0) per 1-L-9. All this you will come to know as the MAGIC OF THE RIGH FOREARM

There is a lot of stuff that you should be marinating on in 7-3. One of the most important concept sections in the book. BUT for the purposes if this thread we're just talking GEOMETRY so focus on it. The Right Forearm Angle of Approach is line that extends from the On-Plane Right Forearm at fix to the Plane Line. The Straight Line Delivery Path of the Hands (Hands = Delivery PATH & Clubhead = Delivery LINE) is a line that is PARALLEL to the Right Forearm Angle of Approach that intersects the Plane Line at the Ball or Aiming Point.

AT IMPACT FIX, the Right Forearm Should be ON-PLANE. So by establishing the On-Plane Right Forearm you can visually check several things. . .

1. The PLANE ANGLE - Back Up and In Down Out and Forward.
2. If the CLUBSHAFT and RIGHT FOREARM are set IN THE SAME PLANE via the Level Right Wrist at impact, you are able to see from the direction the Right Forearm is pointing that Impact is INSIDE-OUT and the ball would be impacted on the Inside Aft "corner"

The player must hold the Forearm in the Feel of the same plane per 7-3, dynamically in-line. Picture the javelin thrower with the right elbow and On Plane right forearm leading the hand toward the target (Delivery Line) all during Delivery. See 6-B-1. The Right Forearm of every Hacker comes into Impact too high – pointing beyond the Delivery Line during Downstroke (2-J-3, 7-3).

To see the Right Forearm Flying Wedge with the Forearm an Clubshaft in the same plane via the Level Right Wrist, check the picture of Stuart Appleby in the Hitters forum. That is the alignment to be striving for.

3. At Impact Fix with the Right Wrist LEVEL BENT you can see that the Right Forearm points down and out. The direction it points is the RIGHT FOREARM ANGLE OF APPROACH. You want to bring your Right Forearm precisely back THROUGH this position.
4. If you were to take a wooden dowel and extend it down the length of your Right Forearm at Fix, you can visually define and see the Right Forearm Angle of Approach. If you take another dowel from your Aiming Point Parallel to the Right Forearm Angle of Approach . . .
YOU HAVE JUST DEFINED THE LINE DELIVERY PATH OF THE HANDS.

Great post bucket.....

Delivery Line/Path....reminds me of "smashin Coca Cola bottles into the ball."

i would need and wanting some pics or diagrams of this, anybody?

Someone use photoshop and draw a line parallel to the right forearm that would start shoulder level and go right at the ball...it would appear about 11-12 inches(the length of a forearm) parallel to the right forearm angle of approach...

Check out Yoda's video on I think it's Delivery and Wedges. You can see the man himself spearing fishies.

How's about letting us in on what you were kicking to me on the phone about your Right Forearm being UNDER the shaft?

Annikan,

The way the diagram is set up, the Ball Location would be opposite the Right Shoulder. That dictates a wide distance between the Impact and Low Point Plane Lines, and hence, a similarly wide Angle of Approach. Can you redraw the diagram to indicate a Ball Location nearer Low Point?

Oops....Ill try to get the two plane lines closer to each other.....Powerpoint is not as good as photoshop!!!
