Appreciate the replies. I certainly understand the advantages of starting with the right forearm on plane at address. My original question is a little different though. Are there ever any circumstances where you would not recommend this setup?

Certainly. The only things I recommend for everybody are the 3 imperatives, and I encourage the 3 essentials. Everything else is fair game and player preference...
In my opinion, the closer you get to Lynn Blakes interpretation of TGM, the fewer compensations you need to make. As Yoda says, you CAN do it, but why?

I think the point is that the right forearm on plane at address is not an imperative or an essential. Kevin makes great points as usual. If you set your left wrist level at address, your right forearm will tend to be on plane. Anatomic issues and grip differences can affect this position which is why it is not an imperative. Right forearm on plane is to me like trying to avoid plane shifts. What counts is impact. Is your left wrist flat and right bent? Go to impact fix and work back. How is it easier for you as a golfer to get into that impact position? Just because your right forearm is on plane at address does not guarantee it will be on plane at impact. If you are underplane at impact, you may need to feel as if the right forearm is higher than at address. I have used that thought at times to help me hit down on the ball. Use impact fix,keep the left wrist level at address work on the flying wedges, especially the right one and you will find that you can move the right forearm all over the place at address and still get good results.
Great answers as usual. Hadn't previously considered the need for level left wrist at address. Always liked to pre-cock it a little at set-up as I never seem to get adequate left wrist cock in the backswing. Look forward to trying this if we ever get golf weather in New England.
