The secret that people search for but never find is that right arm/elbow bending should never be used inadvertently to raise the club for standard stroke patterns. Once the amount of right elbow bend needed to match your chosen swing plane is determined at impact fix, returning to Adjusted Address will bend your right elbow to within an inch of Release Elbow Bend.

Daryl,

In reference to what is in bold and underlined are you saying that the impact fix degree of bend of the right elbow is not maintained in the adjusted address postion...AND that any bend during start-up is an effort to reestablish the fix degree of RIGHT elbow bend, AND usually not more than an inch is necessary?
I am hopeful that it will not take me twenty years by virtue of the fact that it did you!

No. I'm saying that elbow bending ceases at the end of the takeaway. During the Backstroke and Downstroke it's fixed, until Release, where it Unbends gradually to Both Arms Straight.
