The drill he shows in the video actually had me doing the RFT incorrectly. I was rotation the club to a toe up position, and then cocking the club up with my right bicep, Opps
Actually Tommy's GI interview describes the up and down motion of the right forearm perfectly as Homer describes it per section 7-3. I believe the drill you're talking about (the 10 step sequence drill), that first move, the one to two position is to show/demonstrate the right wrist (only) bends and the left wrist turns and cocks. However, during actual play, if you are going to use the right forearm takeaway, its a folding up of the right forearm from the address position....it's a very precise movement. Not surprised you were crushing the ball. It's a great feeling not to guess where the club is going in the backswing. It's "The Magic of the Right Forearm"...that it is....
