The videos I have show the right forearm pointing above the ball (from the back view) when the club is parallel on the downswing. The only person I have who is pointing at the ball is Sergio. Is there anybody else?

Practice with a flashlight secured to the inside of your right forearm with a sweatband.

Point the light to the palne line from release point to the follow-through.

Swingers have the elbow MORE in front.

As far as the hip goes...the swinger would have in more in front also.

Why do you want to know this? Why do you think it is important?

not all great ball strikers get there, but the best ones often do....

If this is true doesn't this make a stronger case for the palm Moe Norman type grip???? Right forearm and hand on the nearly the same plane.

I tried to get my elbow on plane. But no matter what I do -in the parallel/parallel position in the downswing my forearm points about 5 inches outside of the ball. Any ideas?

Swing more DOWN. This problem i had at first too, but when i concentrated on swinging DOWN, applying force to the inside quadrant, it started to come around.

Thank you, cdog

Thanks agent, but the guy on your picture has his forearm pointing 10! inches outside of the ball.

Thanks Brian, but could you go a little more into detail. As far as I know "aiming point" is where you look when you extend the eye/ hand line at impact. How does this influence the position of your hands at parallel/parallel?

Brian I was looking through some of the old posts and come up with this.

Please could you explain what you mean by "the THROW".

Brian once stated that the aiming point is where you see your hands fall if they flew off prior to impact. Ben told me that aiming point is JUST where the handle is at the forward press. I just like to think it is after my left thigh. IN ALL cases the aiming point is in front of the ball (target side). Aiming point ensures that the hands stay in front of the clubhead, which at this point of the swing is dying to smash into something.

Gring Article

This is a great article on the effects of an on-plane right forearm. It can be a minor move that can make drastic changes. Have a look.

Good article------when Mr. Gring talks about rotating right forearm in the "opposite direction"---is this the same as Brians "twist away", the same as getting the right palm facing skyward (holding tray) that Hardy/Jacobson talk about........thanks for any input

he makes statement it was the most radical departure from classic instruction-------so.......what exactly is he talking about doing?

Thanks for bringing this thread back up ukhacker - perhaps one of top threads/concepts ever posted on the board.

Re: the 'throw' - get on a plane board, or image one.

Your right elbow stays on its plane, right wrist bends straight back on the forearm, on plane, and the 'throw' is on plane - if you had a ball in your right hand and threw it, you would hit the target/plane line, as Brian posted - where your hands would fly off - at and extension of both arms straight - think of the right forearm as a 'spoke'

Read Brian's article re: frisbee throws, and rock skipping
Right shoulder goes 'down plane'.

Hinge/rotation/mirror point (wrists bending/arching) is 'on plane'

right forearm, right elbow, right wrist (a great quote from Carol Mann on Mickey Wright's swing, Jim Mclean's show)
