Word by 6bmike / bold by me

Mike - fanning on the plane suddenly made alot more sense! A different motion to what i had previously envisaged which was fanning in relation to horizontal plane rather than the inclined plane - but now i see the up and in component more readily... is this correct? I always see claping hands as horizontal to ground... now on plane(inclined) clapping makes more sense! Thanks

PS . If Homer saw Freddy Couples doing this... why does Feddy do it off plane in take away?? Also do you agree that RFT requires good pivot to make it work properly - even to the point of training the pivot first?

Even though the clapping motion will “seem” like a pure horizontal movement, it isn’t. You are in an address angle- the hands do move up and back even if you just ‘feel’ back.

My RFT could easily feel like a big fan to the right with a folding right elbow raising the left arm but looked at from the back view, you would see the right forearm move up and back, simultaneously.

Ben Doyle told us that Freddie was the inspiration for the right forearm take-away. Maybe not the carbon copy for it.

You can easily train the take-away side of the Pivot with the RFT because the Hands are actually moving the body with a delayed Hip Action. Perfection! Down Stroke- got to train that side from the bottom up
