By Swinging with your Right Arm. Which means Pulling using the Rope Handle Technique.

The Right Arm isn't really designed to swing in the Golf Stroke. It is more comfortable pushing in a linear fashion, and actually a safer motion to perform in terms of how we're built.

Yes, ball would have to be positioned before Right Elbow (which is the stroke center, so low point would be directly beneth it) for ball to be struck before Low Point. This probably means ball will be back toward the right shoulder as you've said. Also remember that the right elbow is constantly moving forwards, and hence low point is also moving forwards also.

Discussing about the Right Arm Swing is great, and trying it out the range is good fun. But consistently playing with it? Not for me!
