right arm pickup

[12 piece bucket]

>> From this position raise your forearm (the part between your wrist bone and elbow)apply extensor action.

I don't appreciate your offensive remark.

In the last two summers I have spent countless hours studying and practising the golf swing.

Today at the range, a rainy day with dead range balls, I peppered the 225 yard flag with ball after ball... never quite hit it but came real close a few times..I even had a little audience.

I can put my trailing arm in several different positions and still meet the criteria you speak of, so either please respect my question or don't waste my time.

Rumbler,

I can sort of see where you may have thought that he was insulting your intelligence by pointing out "the part between your wrist bone and elbow." BUT it is a critical point in the Right Forearm Pick-up. I think that the point to this statement was that in the Right Forearm Pick-Up you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT raise the club by COCKING your RIGHT WRIST.

This point cannot be stressed too much. Your Right Wrist remains LEVEL. I doesn't COCK PERIOD. Otherwise the Right FOREARM Flying Wedge is destroyed. NOTE: It is a Right Forearm Wedge and not a Right Arm Wedge. I think this is the point that was being made. Cock the Right Elbow not the Wrist. In doing so the Left Wrist will Cock while the Right Wrist remains Level.

To get the idea of how this works. Split your hands on the grip. Pick the club up by bending the Right Elbow WITHOUT cocking the right wrist. Be sure that it remains LEVEL. Now watch how your Left Wrist Cocks with out the Right Wrist Cocking.

Whoop there it is.
