What if I was to say that you could use a right forearm takeaway with any plane shift variation.... The right forearm takeaway is manditory, the plane shift variation is a variation - one that has got its own particular hazards in terms of getting to the turned shoulder plane at the top of the backstroke. You could very well double shift and still use a right forearm takeaway....or quadruple shift for that matter.... you can even cock your right wrist (which alters the forearms relation to the clubshaft) but still the only way that primary lever assembly is going upwards and still maintain the plane of the secondary lever assembly with its straight line relationship to the plane line is via the right forearm picking it up.... Ok so now we got that myth out the way.
Ok fair enough. Good post.
So long as it (RFT), in the way that I always see it used ("Now lift the club up the plane with your r. forearm...") is not the only way. (and not always ONLY with the r. forearm, by itself)
R. forearm lifts in all strokes.
Cool.
