Study and practice the extensor action drill from the Tomasello Chapter 2 "ARMS" video....from that drill you will learn the correct downstroke motion of the right forearm automatically (it took me years to finally understand how important that drill is).....from the top of a completed backswing....attempt to hit out (analyze this slowly, slow swings), see what happens to your pivot.... and then attempt to hit down, see what happens....then attempt to hit down and out from the top.....you'll find the correct downstroke motion is down with the right forearm. To check yourself, monitor your shoulder motion....with the out motion of the right forearm the shoulders go out....with a down and out motion of the right forearm, again the shoulders will go out. Only with a downward motion of the right forearm does the right shoulder move toward impact on the "Downstroke Clubshaft Plane". Check 7-3 for Homers comment about the precise up and down motion of the right forearm. It's in there............

First question for 8cork....do you understand how the straight line delivery path functions in both the backswing and downswing?

Thanks for the advise DG, for me I think I have to find a happy median with the down motion of the right forearm, and also a closing of the door feeling. If I only feel the right forearm traveling down to the ball I hit high fades/cuts. If I try and close the door too soon, I hit heel shots, my right shoulder travels out instead of down. I look forward to some guidence next month in Orlando.
