Note: right forearm off chest, and not perpendicular to the ground.  Causes ? (1) overswinging (club way past parallel). (2) others ?

i think that could cause him to def overswing
- going over the top on this down swing and not going inside to out
- and becomes handsy and armsy on his swing.
and i believe the butt of the shaft on the top of the swing should be perpendicular to the back of the heel
u can draw a line straight down from roys butt of the shaft (and his forearms) and it goes right down to the back of his heel of his shoes.
ive been working on that too cause i was really high on the top of my swing which caused me to go over the top on my downswing and killed my hip rotation and became armsy and my shoulders whouldnt clear and i always ended up having too much weight on my toes in my front leg.

Avoid the flying elbow The flying right elbow is a common fault. It usually occurs when a player attempts to lengthen the backswing by lifting the arms instead of turning the hips and torso. The elbow goes up, the club goes across the head and the swing breaks down. The result is inconsistency and inaccuracy. Right arm is the key At the top of the backswing, the right elbow should be pointed down, but not tucked into the body. The right arm forms an "L" when it is in the correct position. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0HFI/is_12_49/ai_54471222/?tag=rbxcra.2.a.55============ Flying Elbows  Put a golf glove under the right arm. Make a shortened swing concentrating on the action of the arms and hands. Your goal is to keep the glove in place during your swing. Keeping the right arm close to the body will help your right shoulder stay under and through the shot. This drill is not intended for a full power swing, but rather to help you feel a specific part of the swing movement. It should help your arms and body work together as a unit. You can also try putting a glove under your left arm to enhance your release action. http://www.golfgist.com/stopslicing0946.html

Actually I see it not so much a problem of making the swing too long, but rather that it makes the club come across the line at the top... pointing the club to the right. From there since the weight of the club is closer to their head than their shoulder their hands go OUT to get in line with the clubhead. Almost everyone who has a flying right elbow has an OTT re-route with the club aiming to the right.

I was experimenting with a club today and I think a strong right hand also promotes this issue.
Making the right hand more neutral on the club, or even too weak seems to naturally improve this problem.

You are showing two different types of swing planes here. The one on the right is a one plane swing and the left is a two plane. In most cases a two plane swing allows the arms to "lift" and right elbow will come off the rib cage and the club will be steep back into the ball(if the arms are not re-routed) and the shoulders start to unwind and the over the tops start . A one plane promotes a flatter backswing, and usually aides in the arms dropping.

Their right arms should be off of their chest. When you try to tuck your right arm into the side of your chest it pulls in your hands bending your left arm. It's know as "extensor action". You should try to keep your right arm comfortably extended because it pushes your left arm straight and gives structure to the triangle assembly.
If you look at the golfer in the picture on the right his right arm is in proper position because his right forearm and elbow are positioned directly underneath the clubshaft in a position to support the weight of club. In TGM world this is the right forearm position of a swinger because it's directly in line with the unloading motion of the secondary lever assembly.
The golfer on the left has the typical flying right elbow. His right forarm and elbow are in a position where they can give weak support at best to the weight of the club.
