The Right Forearm Pick Up, the Right Arm Vertical Take-Away, the Right Forearm Take-UP. It's lnown by many names.

It is a non-left shoulder take-away.

The movement of the right arm is up, back and in- simultaneously and immediately. Up, Back and In is a three dimensional motion on plane. Much like the motion of yanking a cord of a small engine to start it up.
Take the right arm up like being "sworn in" in a court room. It is a simply move that evades us in words.
Check a search for the word Fanning on this site, too.

In Homer Kelley’s own words about the Right Arm Vertical Take-Away “..be sure that you have it. It is absolutely essential to alignment golf. If you have a shoulder turn takeaway you immediately have gone into pivot control hands."

mike... Is this last quote from a tape or seminar ?

[6bmike]

The quote is from an audio tape from Lynn Master Class in 1982.

"If you have a shoulder turn takeaway you immediately have gone into pivot control hands"

If this is true, there are a more Pivot Controlled Hands guys on tour than Hand Controlled Pivoters. But, Homer also said he didn't much care about the BS. I think whether or not you use a Hand Controlled Pivot depends on what you do starting at the Top and not how you execute the BS.

This is true. Homer didn't care how you got to the top. You could make all the changes you needed to get the club back on plane.

What Homer also states is that the RFT is the closes thing to a true circle in the golf swing and the one that eliminates any adjustments before the downswing. His quote of its importance and its success works for me.

There are several good replies to your question. I'd like to offer these thoughts.

The right forearm pickup increases the odds for a geometrically correct back stroke , especially if extensor action is applied (assuring the left shoulder is the steady radius of the back stroke motion) and the right elbow bends immediately.

An impact fix with the right forearm on plane, and then an adjusted address without changing the plane angle, produces a great place to begin the backstroke using the right forearm pickup.

Hope this helps

It is true...

And those TOUR players who would cut their stroke average one-quarter shot per round would do well to know the difference.

Yoda,

How did you determine that Statistic??? I'm in the process of teaching a SPC (Statistical Process Control) course!!!

I simply meant that at the TOUR level, the difference between first and second place -- between winning and losing -- is only one shot. The same is true for making or missing the cut. Given a four-day tournament, that is a mere one-quarter stroke per round. In that arena, the precision alignments of The Golfing Machine can make the difference.
