I have been incubating and practicing a more magical right forearm action. Heretofore, my right arm has been lost in space as I have been all pivot oriented without no forethought of where the pivot takes the power package, which has been behind me.. If you stood behind my right hip, I would crack your ribs with my right elbow. I am not going to sit here and go along with chopping wood with the right arm only, but activating my right forearm pickup is a sweet feeling.

I need guidance. I have been using a split grip to more isolate my right arm and right shoulder action. I esecially love a feeling I call stalling out, where the arm gets near the top,and says, "allright all below, be getting out of my way, cause I am folded, loaded, and want to land on top of that white ball down there. Right shoulder, take me there." HOw have others trained there right forearm magic, and am I far off? Thanks to all.

Buy a NERF football.

Work on throwing sprirals to a pal/kid/etc.
(skip this part if you already can throw it well)

'Set up' to the golf ball with the football in your right hand.
(your left arm can just hang)

Make a Johnny U. like move with your right arm as if you were going to throw the NERF into the golf ball.

Brian,
Given all the questions around this topic I hope you can find some time to write an instruction article on it. Can anyone tell me an example of a good pro that does the right arm pickup well? Hopefully their sequence will be on Redgoats site.
Redgoat, if you read this, I bet your site hits went up with the swing sequences of Anna Rawson.

njmp2:

The shoulders should only turn enough to keep on plane. Most people want to turn the shoulders vs letting the shoulders turn to support the on-plane loading action. If you think of Brian's example of throwing the nerf ball...think of Johnny U...if he was throwing a fly pass, his shoulders would turn a great deal, but only because of the loading action of his arm. With a short pass, his shoulder would only turn a bit. I know we all want to hit the ball long and far, but the shoulder turn we make is usually off plane and faulty...let the hands be the guiding force!
