Here is an impact photo for Duval and Trevino By definition, the Right Forearm Flying Wedge ("RFFW") always exhibits the Horizontal in-line condition of the Right Elbow, Forearm and Clubshaft (6-B-3-0-1). However, that does not mean that the RFFW always lies in the Inclined Plane of Motion of the orbiting Sweetspot. In other words, the elements of the RFFW -- Elbow, Forearm and Clubshaft -- lie in its own Plane, and this alignment may or may not be coincident with the Inclined Plane of the Golf Stroke. Indeed, the RFFW leaves the Inclined Plane (even the Elbow Plane / 10-6-A) after Start Up and returns to that Plane only at Release (8-9; 12-3/Section 9 #35). Any attempt to return the Forearm sooner would result in a very "ungolf-like" Motion. Which, of course, is always improper Execution (3-F-6). __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
