Load the right forearm to 90 degrees in the backswing

The coach's takeaway from Ben Hogan's swing is to load the right forearm from the start of the backswing, getting it to a 90-degree angle while keeping the left arm straight. He says a straight left arm lets you load the right forearm as much as you want. He advises against loading so the club points straight up and down or too horizontal, instead loading it at an angle like Hogan's.
