Use standard address, bent left/flat right and feel as if you drag the back of the right hand along the ground as you trace the plane line.
In my 'feels', an impact address for hitters is more of an 'up' and a standard address for swingers is more of a 'back'. One of the key benefits of the classic address is that the hand positions basically force you to trace 'back' rather than 'inside', and keep you from getting on too flat a plane angle.
Imagine the shaft is a piece of chalk and draw a line as you drag back from a classic address.
While there is no specific mention in the book regarding this, feel the middle two fingers of the right hand and their pressure points on the target side of the shaft as you drag back.
That said, you most certainly can/should feel the 'up plane' of the right forearm in either case - back, up and in.
Using a forward press/kick in of the right knee as a swing trigger will also help you establish a 'swing back'.
YES SIREEE!!! Mr. Kelley said that the pressure points were the FINGER TIPS on the backstroke. He said that you need ENOUGH grip pressure to locate the Pressure Points. The backstroke lag is agains the finger tips.
Thank you Sirs. How does our finger tips related to The mandatory Right Forearm Takeaway 7-3 in the 7th edition?

According to 7-3 in the 7th Edition the Right Forearm Takeway IS mandatory.
That is a suprise.
Can you provide a section of the text that relates to this takeaway being mandatory. I would love some more discussion on why this is the case in the 7th.

If you got the 7th check the 2nd paragraph in 7-3. I don't have the 7th with me at work . . . but it's there. It is one of the only changes that was made to 7-3. I can't remember the exact quote.
