Sorry, about this question but I can't find the answer.

With the Club secured under the heel of the Left Hand and with a
Level Left Wrist (that is, neither Cocked or Uncocked) -- Hitting or Swinging -- the Club can never be 'in line' with the
Left Forearm until Full Extension (Left Wrist Uncocked / Perpendicular Motion). Therefore, until that point in the Stroke -- immediately past Impact -- it can never be 'in line' (Perpendicularly) with the Clubshaft.
The
Right Forearm is another story. Here, with the
Left Wrist Level and the Club held towards the 'cup' of the Right Hand (which covers the Left Hand Thumb), the Right Forearm is 'in line' with the Clubshaft. This in-line condition (the
Right Forearm Flying Wedge) is held throughout the Stroke.
At Address, Release and Impact, the Right Elbow (and thus, the Forearm) is in the Inclined Plane of Motion of the Clubshaft (actually, the Plane of the orbiting Sweetspot). At other points, e.g., the Backstroke, Top, Start Down and Downstroke, the Right Forearm
supports that Clubshaft/Sweetspot Plane. All while maintaining its original 'in-line condition' of the Right Forearm and Clubshaft.
All of which is more easily expertly demonstrated than expertly explained in text.
The ultimate solution is to come see me.
