Ted & I worked on the right forearm on plane at address in our 2nd lesson together (we've only had 4 lessons so far). Ted originally put me in the position and then I had to feel it. The feel I sort of use is that I just bend the right elbow at address. In fact, it pretty much feels like I'm bending the right elbow 'into my right hip joint.'
I had some problems with setting my hands high and then getting the right forearm on plane at address. It was getting my left shoulder 'up high' at address, so Ted corrected that. So basically I 'leave the left arm hanging' at address and then 'bend the right elbow into my right hip' and I'm good to go.
Now, we're getting me more into right forearm tracing. Since getting the right forearm on plane is feeling natural to me now, I now try to feel like that #3 PP is holding a laser pointer or a flashlight and has to trace the plane line.
Lastly, I record my swing quite a bit. Probably every other practice session. I'm not expecting to hit it like Ben Hogan, but I'm just constantly checking that I'm doing what we went over with on our last lesson or I'm headed in the right direction.
