Im having trouble trying to get my right forearm on plane. I've just recently become familiar with the golfing machine, and this is one of the first things that stood out to me, as something i wasnt doing. I think that I've improved, but i cant tell if its on plane or not. The way Brian Gay does it, it looks so nice. Ive tried having my hands more upright at address, and bending my right elbow more, but i still cant quite get there. Could it be something in my right hand grip? Thanks

Welcome aboard. From Address, the hands can take the club back on any number of planes. Homer said that the Right Forearm is always on plane, maybe not the right one- we now have to work on staying on the choosen plane.

You need to trace the base line or the Plane Line that the ball is on, located on the ground of course. Grab a flash light that has a tight beam and start moving the hands to the right tracing the Plane line and feel the right forearm fanning. This flash lite beam (or small laser pointer) is pp3. The right elbow folds later but that is the next step.

Second point- keep the spine angle. A steady unbobbing head will help keep the forearm on the Plane you want- be it the Hand, Elbow or any of the shoulder turns.

Third- Brian Gay's hands at address determines the Plane he wants- low hands- Hand plane, higher Hands for Turned Shoulder Plane.

Fourth- learn everything on can about the Flying Wedges. The Right Forearm Flying Wedge is important at set up and address.

I'm sure others will chime in with more help but TGM is a journey- enjoy it- you are in the right place.
