Arecent seeker asked why the Right Forearm should not be considered a G.O.L.F.Imperative, since "if it is On-Plane, the Secondary Lever Assembly (theClub) is also On-Plane." Good question. Here's the answer:

The Three Imperatives constitute that hammered-down breedof G.O.L.F. absolutes that control the Three Functions (Clubface, Clubhead, andClubshaft) through the Three Stations (Address, Top, and Finish).

Imperative #1. Per1-L #4, the Hinge Assembly controls the precision alignment ofthe Clubface. And the responsibility of executing precision Hingemotions rests solely in the domain of the Flat Left Wrist.

Imperative #2. Per1-L #7, #10 and #11, 6-C-1 #3, and 6-C-2-0, the #3 Pressure Point controlsthe Clubhead Lag Pressure. Hence, the Clubhead Lag Pressure Point garnersthe rank of an Imperative.

Imperative #3. Finally,per 1-L #16, the Plane Line controls the Clubhead Line-of-Flight.While the Right Forearm has the very important responsibility of tracing thePlane Line -- and thereby maintaining the Clubshaft (or more accurately,the Sweetspot) On-Plane, it is not the Plane Line itself.

So, while the Right Forearm is a very important weapon inthe Player's arsenal for precison G.O.L.F., it does not bear ultimate controlfor any one of the Three Functions. Therefore, it cannot be considered anImperative.

This should clear the fog on the immediate question andoffer insights on countless others as well.
