Right elbow are never truly passive because of extensor action
Not Elbow but Right Triceps can never be totally "passive." Which moves the elbow, of course.
Extensor Action is a straightline pull on the left arm- it doesn't move the left arm but does provide support to the left wrist cock. On the downstroke thru PP3 it pulls in a straightline both the left arm and shaft. Its direction is always below the Plane. This effect on the clubshaft can also be used to flatten the left wrist in line with the shaft on the take-away, too.

But the hugest difference is already written in the chapter called extensor action. Its right there for us to read , digest and understand.
Stick that chapter to our forehead and basically all this confusion about right forearm ( Ala TT and DG), and Passive/active( extensor action) would just go away. One of the key is whether the extensor action is applied to pressure point 1 or 3 is also huge, often demonstrated by Lynn. A huge clue to work on I'd say

I was at the range today and I believe that I have experienced a beginning of a journey along the TT-swing road. By firing the right forearm down and obliquely out to the right with a quiet body, I shot some of the best shots I have ever done with my 5 wood.

Which Hinge action did you feel? Did the pivot feel like a platform to push off. I sometimes feel like a side armed baseball pitcher doing this. The pivot kind follows the throwing motion.
6bmike! I can´t tell for sure which type of hinge I experienced. The swing just felt like an active straightening of the right elbow out and down to the right against a stable body which then responded by a pivot. I think that the hinging was horizontal.

As TT would say you're getting closer to the truth.
Pivot provides the outward motion at release. See 2-N-1, 7th edition.
I am playing with a right arm swinging motion, however the active whip action of the right arm leads me to keep the clubface open. I've had more success by just leading the swing with my right elbow and not actively trying to straighten the right arm, it just does so on it's own.
I'm sure I'm doing something incorrectly, that's keeping me from squaring the club, most likely I'm angled hinging instead of horizontal.
