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!

Tongzilla,

Hmmmm....the right arm swing in play is great...I won the golf tournament I was in today....the win came down to the last hole...par 5....right arm swing performed really well...Draw with the Driver off of the tee....sweet 13 degree 3 woood to about 110 yards from the hole...third shot pitching wedge to 3 feet from the hole....missed the putt for birdie...made par to win the tourney by one stroke.

You just don't go out to the driving range and expect miracles with the right arm swing...it takes about 3 to 6 months of practice and play to see really good results...forearm muscles need to be conditioned.
