Hey Daryti
This may be a contentious issue, but for me anyways, I do have a little push with the left hand or so it seems. BUT ITS A PUSH AGAINST THE #2 PRESSURE POINT in the Heel of the left hand and associated with Left Hand Wrist Cock which is a result of the Pick UP, Right Elbow Bending. NOT A PUSH AWAY OR PUSH BACK OF THE CLUB WITH THE LEFT HAND OR ARM. This maybe goes against the grain of the Left Arm as a piece of string, I know.
If the RFT is divided into a separate Fanning and a Bending at the elbow (pickup) motions then this pressure or perhaps pushing at the PP#2 is done in concert with the Bending only. But if the Fanning and Bending overlap each other as they should then this pressure at the PP#2 is felt very early in the RFT.
Another contentious thing perhaps, but one I like anyways is that RFT doesnt necessarily preclude the pivot or the Right Hip from starting the entire chain of events. This is great for a person employing a swing away as it establishes CF right off the start. A "free wheeling"
swing back that for me goes nicely with a Lagging Takeaway on full shots. I personally like to feel that the Pivot or Right Hip gets the club moving back the first couple of inches. Is this Pivot to Hands? I say no! Not if I then employ an RFT (fanning and pickup) and Trace a Straight Line Base Line. Pivot to Hands would have the Hands following the Shoulders in their direction," always under plane". I have the Hands and Shoulders going their separate ways.
This is just me however, you could pre clear the Right Hip and then use a "carry back" with the RFT, but I like to set up a little CF early on even though Im mainly Hitting these days.
"The body is a rotor, the arms are it's blades" and so ideally for a golfing machine anyways you must turn the Rotor to turn the Blades. CF.
