Aligning the Right Forearm

Is it supposed to feel bunched up at first?
Your inability to correctly position your Right Forearm does not lie in the Right Forearm or Elbow Bend. Instead, it is in the incorrect position of your Left Wrist. Your Left Wrist is Cocked, not Level. Then you attempt to put the Forearm in-line with the Clubshaft in its 'too low' Plane. Ain't gonna happen without the feeling you describe.

So, instead of attempting to align the Forearm with the Clubshaft, go at it the other way around. Set your Left Wrist Level -- thus raising the Clubshaft to a steeper Plane Angle -- and then, with minor adjustments in the #3 Accumulator Angle (Left Arm and Clubshaft) -- align the Clubshaft with the Forearm.

Model the Brian Gay photos I have published previously. Pay special attention to the Left Wrist alignment, and your Right Forearm worries will soon be a thing of the past.
