Your inability to correctly position your Right Forearm does not lie in the Right Forearm or Elbow Bend. Instead, it is in the incorrect position of your Left Wrist. Your Left Wrist is Cocked, not Level. Then you attempt to put the Forearm in-line with the Clubshaft in its 'too low' Plane. Ain't gonna happen without the feeling you describe.
So, instead of attempting to align the Forearm with the Clubshaft, go at it the other way around. Set your Left Wrist Level -- thus raising the Clubshaft to a steeper Plane Angle -- and then, with minor adjustments in the #3 Accumulator Angle (Left Arm and Clubshaft) -- align the Clubshaft with the Forearm.
Model the Brian Gay photos I have published previously. Pay special attention to the Left Wrist alignment, and your Right Forearm worries will soon be a thing of the past.
That may be the final piece of my right forearm puzzle as well.
Thanks Yoda!

Thank you for all the comments and Yoda for his continued dedication to this forum.
I browsed through all the previous gallery pictures but have yet to find a good image of the left wrist at address. Most shots are taken from behind and I am unable to get a good view of what Yoda is referring to.
Could someone kindly point me in the right direction.
Thanks
ps. been working tons on basic motion (only) and while i feel this is very beneficial for the short game, during the transition to long game, i have been hitting quite a few full wedges fat. I did not have this problem before. Also, once in a very long while, i'll come into the basic motion with my hossel first. I'm probably coming across the line too much on the back swing. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Thanks
I have the alignment golf dvd and have been watching it over and over. I really want to ingrain Lynn's technique so that i have a reliable swing "that will serve me for a long time".
pps. Yoda, i've emailed you before about flying down to take lessons with you. I know you must be very busy. Is there another way i can get a hold of you? Thanks
I think i'm beginning to understand the level left wrist. I'm interpreting this as, level in relation to left base of thumb with no distortion (as opposed to the pinkie side). When positioning my left wrist in such a manner, i notice that my club does not lie flat on the ground with the toe down. If this is correct, do i need to get refitted to make my lie more upright?

The Level Left Wrist is the mid-Wrist Condition between Cocked and Uncocked. It exists (in the perpendicular plane of motion) when a line from the first knuckle of the forefinger is in-line with the forearm.
The Level Left Wrist Conditon is best illustrated from a Down-the-Line view. That view is evident in my posted photo of BG's Address with the wedge at the '07 Honda.
Check it out.
P.S. Re the private lessons: I'm definitely open for business from players at all levels. If I missed an inquiry, please accept my apology and hit that send button again to lynn@lynnblakegolf.com.

I've been working on this as well with basic motion and compressing the ball like never before. Music to the ears. Lynn you're the best! Also if any of you guys haven't purchased Alignment Golf yet what are you waiting for?

The light bulb is in this post. I was overly cocked with the left wrist, when I level it out the RF is much easier to get on plane. I took this pic, I think its closer, seeing the photo of BG really helped as well.
Just an update to my previous post, I had a lesson last night and my instructor stated that it was important that I have the proper fanning motion while taking the club back, basically I had very little fanning motion. I made the change with immediate improvement.

Very nice job gmbtempe. It looks and sounds as though you are on the path to some wonderful swing improvements. It's all here, we just have to pay attention!

I've always assumed my left wrist was uncocked at address; it wasn't. I just uncocked it for the first time (consiously) and it opened up a whole new world of feel. My hands can now feel what the club shaft and head are doing. Amazing.
