I've talked about Arm Motion and a little bit about the hands.
How about the RASers Pivot?
How does it differ from the Left Arm Swing? Or does it?
Would it differ? I wouldn't think so, at least not much, since both are dependent upon utilizing CF. I dunno.
Also, we could discuss whether right arm swinging is actually different mechanically from left arm swinging, or if it's only different perceptually (from the perspective of the player). Keep it going, Bags.
Chip Shots: Hogan Said, The club is taken back with the hands only.
Right Elbow rest on right hip, insuring the arms, hands and club a
pivotal point. If you set this pivotal point up correctly you reduce
the margin or error on this shot.
Wonder if Hogan did this later on in his golf. Sounds like a right
arm siwing to me. I know in his waggle that he talks about the
right elbow going to the watch pocket. Maybe this is a throw back
to his chipping technique. I do not think that Hogan is a right arm
swinger but food for thought?

For pivot material and swinging with the right arm....checkout Mark Evershed's book "The Golf Solution" excellent book. Mark is a former student of Tom Tomasello. Check out the number 2 Letter series vid of Tomasello.
During a month lay off from the game....I read Mark's book...this was about a year after I decided to learn the swing mechanics that Tom Tomasello teaches on the Australia chapter series video (late 2003 or early 2004 is when I began the process). After reading Mark's book every thing clicked on how to swing with the right arm. The first tournament I entered I won after reading his book.

Geeez Joe....with that much background....I would think we should be getting some insight from you? I would rather listen to someone with first hand knowledge.

To my mind, there are Three Stages to Mastery of any subject. These are encapsulated in the following quote:
"Reading makes a learned man.
Conversation makes a ready man.
Writing makes a precise man."
-- Sir Francis Bacon
To my mind, Joe Curtis is referring to Bacon's first phase of mastery, that is, getting a grasp of the basic facts. If you want to 'play marbles', you've got to get some marbles to shoot! However, that phase of the journey soon ends . . .
To really 'hammer down' the basics, you must interact with others. It's not enough just to have a bag of marbles, you must kneel down, draw the circle and play the game! This jousting of ideas back and forth yields its own fruit -- new insights and a deeper appreciation of the fundamental issues -- but still permits a certain laxity of expression ('wiggle room'). In other words, you can be a little looser 'just talking' than when you know you will be held accountable. Finally, though, comes the day when all preparatory efforts end and your solo challenge of the summit begins . . .
You enter this rarified atmosphere when you take pen in hand and crystalize your thoughts by writing. Here, in the crucible of solitude, you become The Master, a true champion. Here, there can be no substitute for concentrated thought. Here, there is no reprieve from ill-conceived ideas: They have been commited to paper and are there for all to see, measure and judge.
These Forums foster this three-stage discipline and thus provide a true path to individual mastery. The textual nature of our medium demands that we write to 'speak', so posting serves both as 'conversation' and 'crystalized thought'. I invite and encourage members to participate according to their own levels of understanding. In so doing, you will 'connect the dots' of your own fragmented ideas and one day join those who have sought and won the 'pearl of great price' . . .
