Some very useful information in this thread, I have been using the RFT and love its simplicity. When I drop the forearm down the plane and into the ball I hit it very solid, but the shots are high with a fade, sometimes more of a cut. In reference to my question in the thread start, should I be feeling a closing the door sensation through the ball, the opposite of the fan in the begining? I think that may help close my clubface.

Are you Swinging or Hitting? The RFT doesn't mean you need to use Acc1 as the primary active power source to impact. Hitting and RFT work wonderfully but it is equally great Swinging.
Hitters need to adjust ball position and close the face slightly at address. Check Face alignments at impact fix as you practice and make adjustments. You can Draw or Fade with Hitting- the key is ball position.
Swingers will need to throw out and roll with a HH to avoid a bad cut.
Without wanting to drag things too far off-topic, why?
You don't have to worry Toolish, this thread has never been on topic since the second response. A very simple question was asked and it has never been answered in this whole thread. Instead it was easier to trash another instructor. I understand not using names, but when quoting it is responsible to name the source. 8cork asked a very simple question. He is trying to perform a move that he believes will improve his golf motion that will improve his golf game that will improve his enjoyment of this game. He never asked what others thought or had written concerning the RFT.

Shame, shame and grow up.

I look forward to similar preachings from you on other sites.

I don't disagree, Jim. But sometimes threads take on a life of their own. This was one of those times.
In hindsight, the appropriate administrative response would have been to delete 12 Piece's post (#2). We've taken such action many times and hence enjoy a well-deserved reputation for post deletion and editing.
In this instance, rather than censure, I chose to let the post stand, but to clarify its intent (Post #4). Then, spurred by glcoach's lament that "neither side appreciates the other" (#6), off we went.
That kind of thing seems to work well on some sites where people are bashed, professionals are 'graded' and sound (but misrepresented) ideas "die horrible deaths" in closed chambers. All in the name of "fair game reporting." But, as you point out, it doesn't work too well around here.
