I think Moe subconsciously used his Right Forearm to guide his Takeaway. Certainly, he did not let his Shoulder Turn drag the Club deeply inside ('under Plane'), and despite his extreme Extension at Address -- his Left Wrist is fully Uncocked and his Right Arm is very straight -- his Right Elbow folds nicely during Start Up.
Moe was very conscious of the Straight Line Baseline of his Inclined Plane and constantly referenced it in his discussion of the Stroke. In fact, he often told the story of how, as a teenager learning his swing, he placed a coin well back along the Line to make sure he stayed On Line during his Backstroke.
Todd Graves, who knew Moe well, has included Moe's Coin Drill as one of his online ETips. For those interested, scroll down the list of Available Albums and choose the one called "The Coin", then click on Change Album.

Thank you, TGMfan, for this most informative link. I believe this is proprietary information and hereby inform any interested party that we will remove it from our site immediately upon request. In fact, I will call Todd Graves tomorrow -- whose site I have visited in recent months and whose work I respect -- and let him know that this material has been posted on our site and that we would like it to remain.
Meanwhile, I think it is good stuff. I would recommend, however, that members review carefully the Downstroke/Release photo (#9) in the Advanced/Grip Instruction Thread (the opening sequence and the only one I've reviewed). In addition to the mandatory Bent Right Wrist (wrinkles at the back of the Hand), it illustrates a Cocked condition of the Right Wrist (wrinkles at the base of the thumb). Mr. Norman himself maintained a Bent and Level Right Wrist (first right knuckle in line with the right Forearm). The Right Forearm Flying Wedge.
Because you should be setting up in an impact fix condition when using hitting, a STT will DRASTICALLY drag the club inside and i personally think it would cause problems BUT there is always a way to make things work (ie Furyk)
