That's anatomically impossible. The right forearm muscles cannot straighten the bent/folded right elbow. That function is performed by the UPPER arm triceps muscle.

Forerarm muscles can only perform the following anatomical actions-:

1) Flex, extend, abduct or adduct the fingers and thumb.
2) Palmarflex or dorsiflex the wrist.
3) Radially deviate or ulnarly deviate the wrist.
4) Pronate or supinate the hand.

Forearm muscles cannot flex or extend the elbow joint because they are distal (peripheral) to the elbow joint.

If anybody contests my opinion, please be so kind to name the right forearm muscle which is "supposedly" capable of straightening the right elbow joint.

It Triggers the straightening (that's part of the "Magic" of the right forearm, it can trigger what I believe is the straightening of the tricep muscle)...if you concentrate on the tricep muscle of the right arm you will over accelerate the golf club and will surely go into a condition of club-head throw-away....remember, section 10-20 is called Trigger Type. Per Tom Tomasello those triggers are downstroke triggers. 5 ways to start the club down. In a one or two year period, I took the time to experiment with using the tricep muscles versus the right forearm....in a week or two of using the tricep muscles, I started to lose the sweet feeling of clubhead lag. Once I went back to using the right forearm the sweet feeling of clubhead lag returned. I did this experiment on two occasions, so I know the difference between using the tricep muscles and using the right forearm. I don't need to know the bio-mechanics, I proved it through trial and error.

Reference the book....in 1-L, it says' "The Right Forearm is always driving" and in Tomasello's Chapter 2 video Tommy says"....drive that right forearm, to a long right arm...". In 6-B-2-0, it reads, "Centifugal Force, Accumlator #1, the muscles of both forearms, any--or all--are available to actuate this assembly". So, what does actuate mean....to activate, to set into motion, put into action. So now can you see the connection between this and the idea of triggering....setting the swing into motion.
