Right Forearm @ Address-How?????

[okie]

This may be for personal use ONLY, but from time to time I start with the right forearm wedge first...then I assemble the left arm flying wedge. Without a mirror I find it occassionally difficult to set the right forearm wedge without the control point of placing the grip in the cup of the hand. I then make a space in the cup of the right hand to place my left thumb. HK mentions this in the 3rd Edition (opening the right hand a bit to let the left thumb "in." It occurred to me that the right hand would have to be on the club first. When Yoda demonstrates the right forearms own angle of approach the right forearm flying wedge is assembled first. I may be stating something obvious here but I think if you do the LAFW first the tendency is to perhaps line the arms up, as opposed to the right forearm to the sweetspot plane (as Vikram suggested elbow bend is needed to achieve this) I noticed that BG starts with the right arm. Hope that is useful to you

Quite useful, thanks. I did notice BG with driver, looks like he is reaching out to get RF on plane, rather than arms hanging down. Anyway, I try starting with the right, then place the left. I suspect my right shoulder will be much lower at address than normal with the RF on-plane.

Thanks again.
