The Magic of the Right Forearm action is in the right shoulder joint. The right elbow bending and straightening is a motion.
The TAKE-AWAY is the action by the right shoulder, but that is not the magic. I have a friend, David Orr who studies Kinesiology with a leading professor in a University in NC. He knows his stuff and can explain how the body moves and bends during a golf stroke. The information is fascinating but NONE of his students needs to know any of it to swing a golf club. Nobody is ever told that they move a certain bone with the wrong muscle. Kinesiology is crap to a golf stroke. Gobblygook. Homer stayed away from that stuff because tracing the plane Line (geometry) and loading and releasing power (physics) was what is real. Ever move your forearm with your thigh muscle? If I tell a 1 yr old kid to move his hand above his head, he ain’t thinking about what shoulder muscle he needs to move. He SIMPLY raises his hand. AND as Yoda taught us, the RFT is a simple clapping motion. Take a solemn oath. btw- Manzella hates the rft. Lynn Blake is the instructor that teaches it, re-introduced it to TGMdom. I'll stickk him him.
The magic of the Right Forearm is a tracing motion- a staying on the incline plane. It is the simultaneous and immediate movement of the Hands and clubhead- up and back (and In). Even though the incline plane is Flat, it controls the three dimensions of IMPACT when you are on it. Tracing its plane line achieves this. The Fanning (clap) of the forearm and folding of the elbow which raises the left arm and cocks the left wrist is the RFTake up. The lowering and straightening of the left arm and the left wrist uncocking is the down stroke. Together it is the Magic of the Right forearm. (7-3).

First of all I don’t believe Homer stayed away from the movement of the muscles, bones and joints (Kinesiology).
I feel what he put in the book about the muscles in the golf swing was what he thought the average golfer would understand.
There is no doubt that Homer studied the movement of the body when writing the book.
I am not saying the average golfer needs to study the body but the instructor does.
He owes it to his students to know what options they have as he watches their body movement.
You can look at it from geometry and physics all you want but if that golfer can not move correctly.
You best have a backup plan. Knowing the body is a good backup plan.
I can show you with the 3-D swing trainer I designed that it is not as easy as clapping your hands.
All the golfers I tested on the 3-D swing trainer went off plane on the back swing or had the club face to open or to closed somewhere in the swing before impact.
The better golfers could get back on plane and square up the club face.
When they trained with the 3-D swing trainer they could practice the plane, clubface and club head action knowing it was perfect every time. They could see it in 3-D.
You cannot just assume you are correct with the plane by tracing with PP#3 because you are not most of the time. You might be close but not perfect.
Perfect is what I want my students practicing and that is why I designed the 3-D swing trainer so they could practice perfect.
You can trace and see the correct plane, club face and club head movement through the swing. Impact fix, standard address, right forearm takeaway, plane shifts and many other alignments all are practiced perfect with the 3-D swing trainer.
You will be hearing more about this 3-D swing trainer in about 10 days as I am ready to release it.
In fairness to our other partnership arrangements soon to be announced, these are the necessary rules of the road from now on. Thanks for understanding.

No problem I will not post about it anymore until you have had a chance to see it for yourself.
Lynn, I want you to be one of the first to see it and will get one to you soon.

John,
Thanks for your followup email with launch dates and pricing. I know your product line and look forward to doing business with you at LynnBlakeGolf.com.

I didn't say it was a clap of the hands. I said the motion is that of a simple clapping motion. Clap your hands and watch your forearms- there it is. That forearm movement is what you need. what muscle moved that forearm? Who cares. Did you preform the movement correctly, bet you can. Homer moved his Hands, traced plane lines, built machines. I have never read or heard a single word about applied Kinesiology from Homer. Read 1-L. If Homer spent any amount of time studying Kinesiology and it didn't get a lick of mention anywhere, then it was not compelling enough to help anyone.
My pp3 tracing is not too shaby nor is my Straight forearm thrust of my right forearm flying wedge. A classic tgm action that requires no Kinesiology knowledge. Just obiterate the plane line to the low point plane line and hear the sweet intoxicating sound of impact. Perfection? What is? Who is? Regardless, Lynn and Homer built me a nice machine, and I don't know my antibrachial fascia from my humerus in doing so.
A golf swing is a Hinge Action of an Angular Motion on an Incline Plane.

I have no doubt you have learned good action with TGM book from Homer and Lynn teaching it to you.
I am just saying that the more knowledge the better.
If you don’t want to know about how the body moves that is ok.
I was just talking about more knowledge of the body movement and how to practice it perfect. More on that later.
I to as an authorized TGM instructor want every golfer to experience the yellow book as I know it is the way.
