Was revisting the David Orr-RFT video and was wondering if the proper downstroke sequence would be the opposite feel of the takeaway? Another words, should there be a dropping of the right forearm and then a closing sensation, just the opposite of the fanning in the takeaway?
For a swinger's feel, yes. The startUP swivel allows you to take the hands directly up plane, turn of the hand to plane, and the downswing is the opposite, roll of the hand to impact.
Keep in mind two important concepts however, first that the right wrist does not cock, and second that it is the pivot and its throw out motion that causes the squaring of the clubface.
The swinger's horizontal hinge is a 'closing only' motion through impact, and hence a feel of a closing door is a good thing, especially when the right arm is straightening on the proper angle of approach.

Thanks for the reply Ed, I am working on a drill that Yoda shared with me that should improve my pivot and allow me to get the club on a better plane. As Yoda can attest, I am bringing the club back severely underplane, and I think along with the pivot drill, the RFT is the missing piece to get me to the top correctly.

8cork is planning to attend our Falcon's Fire Academy http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=4330 next month and sent me via email a Dartfish analysis of his Golf Stroke (both front and down-the-line views). I responded by telephone and with a video clip that he is working on pending our 'hands-on ' work at the Academy.
8cork - one way I find useful in getting the feels of both the RFT as well as proper startup swivel, horizontal hinge motion, and right forearm motion is to do slow motion swings using zero #2 accumulator (no left wrist cock), while making sure you are not cocking the right wrist (keep it 'level'). I suspect this is similar to the drill Yoda gave you? It is a great way to demonstrate how it is the bending of the right eblow that cocks the left wrist. Happy fishing
