May I add that it is advisable to start with the right arm in a bent condition right from start-up. The degree of bend of the elbow is determined by what it takes to keep the right forearm on plane with the shaft (sweetspot plane) at address. Mid-body hands...impact hands...no matter... it is a good idea to give the right forearm a relationship with the sweetspot, or at least very close. Unfortunately for us mortals the temporary immortals on the various tours tend to set up with straight right arms, leaving the impressions that that is the way to go about it. Don't forget both arms are straight only at follow through, ergo anything up plane of followthrough has the right arm bent! Magic of the right forearm!

You are correct it is an important alignment of the right flying wedge and Lynn covers it in detail in the Alignment Golf DVD's.
