Left Arm and right For arm alingment at address.
So I have recently discovered this site and learned that I am a hitter. I love hitting, I can finally use my strength and knock the snot out of the ball. I have picked up a lot of useful information on this site thus far. In order to save my self cerebral overload. I have three questions that I believe would solidify my new swing.

1. Does a Hitter perform a Right Fore Arm Take Away?

2. Should the right forearm be aligned with the shaft with the elbow tucked in the right hip, when looking down the line at address?

3 should the top of the left wrist be flat at address or should the left arm be straight down under the chin?

I appreciate any help. It just got sunny so I will post video after this weeked.

Since this is my firt post. Some personal background is in order. My name is Carl, I live in Ann Arbor Michigan, I started golfing on the fourth of July 2011 (Independence Day indeed). I have built my entire set of clubs, and I'm looking and transitioning from the legal proffession to a carreer in the golf industry by summer of 2013.

Thank you very much for your time.

-Carl

Carl, I've enclosed a reference below that summarizes my view of a "short thumb grip" that Hogan taught as he improved his technique. It really has helped me. it was shown to me by Lynn Blake. I am not expert in Hitting or Swinging as others here are but I hit a 145 yard plus 9 iron on purpose several times yesterday through a goal post both Hitting and Swinging and several drives that hit their Apex well beyond the 200 yard markers as well.

I am not a Leadbetter fan but I am a novice. Notice references 5 (both of them) and 3.

If you can, go see Lynn.

I am not built like an athlete!

Congratulations on starting your golfing journey with the best Golf information in the world. You will probably wanna start at impact fix with te club in line with the left arm ad leaning forward. A flat left wrist and a bent right wrist, the right forearm should ne in line with the shaft at address. You will use a right forearm takeaway from impact fix.

Right forearm takeaway for impact fix...what about adjusted address with R wrist more flat? Is it the drag move + right forearm action?

I'm struggling with my takeaway as I transition from hitting nice impact fix wedges on the range to the real course where I am adjusted with flat R wrist.

Takes awhile to believe the simplicity and effectiveness of RFT!

The simplicity of the RFT threw me off for awhile. I have to wait one more day before going to the range but I'm excited to "take up the slack" and continue to Hit experimenting with a closed face on my longer clubs!
