I took the on-plane right forearm to the course on a Nicklaus course in Cozumel, Mexico a few days ago. It started out OK with several fairways, GIR's and pars through the first holes. But even the best shots only felt about 85% good and I consistently was 1/2-1 clublength shorter than expected. Eventually everything fell apart and I reverted to the old stroke for the three final holes just to complete the game.
The day after I went to the driving range, trying to sort things out. After quite a few balls I was convinced that it was impossible for me to hit it really solid with the on-plane right forearm. I had an outside-in feeling at address, and it felt like there wer not enough lag at fix with the higher hands and the ball further away. I just wasn't able to hit the ball with the feet.
I eventually proceeded to hit balls with the old method and had really solid ball contact in the end. When I left I was convinced that it was impossible for an endomorphic person like me to look like Brian at Fix and not waist a lot of lag before impact - In other words - throw the club at the ball.
