My "habitual" stroke pattern is to take the the club back (and up) with my left arm. I have better balance, it keeps me from swaying or dipping my left shoulder, my left wrist remains flat and I usually stop at the top or end. I also feel like it helps me to let my right side take over, make a motion through the ball to the finish. I have extensor action but is probably reversed. I have the Right Forearm Pickup as a skill and "can" hit some decent shots but I can not get it into a habit. If Carey is listening, I can not automatically get my right forearm to initiate the start up. When I am warming up, making a practice stroke, or swinging a weighted club, and I have no intention making an actual stroke...my left arm always initiates the startup.

Is the Right Forearm Pickup or Twistaway really important to TGM or can I skin my cat with a left arm start up? My game and swing has improved immeasurably since being exposed to TGM (last Oct) but I have hit the RFP wall.

Thanks much.
