Hi Delaware,
thanks for ur reply.
Actually I practiced Tomasello's teaching only a couple of weeks,so I can't say I did mastered it yet. The point is I found his teaching easy to follow (even though not easy to master completely),compared with the slippery path of TGM.
The reason I'm enquiring about Tomasello is that,the first time I tested his method on a golf course I happen to hit the longest drive of my life (about 295 yards)and perfectly strait too.Quite thrilling for my age 53.
That was on the first hole. Then I did nearly the same on the third hole. Then...never again! but there must be an explanation for that. I tried many times later to duplicate the feel of those drives but with no results.
I said I founf it easy to swing Tomasello's way because I only think of swinging the amrms down and out on plane, consciously thinking of uncocking both wrists at impact in order to take a divot,that's all. No pivot,no hips,no shoulders,no wrist roll,no swivel(too many nos maybe?) If I check that swing in slow motion and speaking in terms of TGM, I see an angled hinge at impact,with the clubface laid back,very close to the vertical hinge motion . As I said all that works well with short irons,without losing any distance. I can swing well that way up to the 7 iron,but no longer clubs that that.
I've watched only Tomasello's videos I found on this site,so I miss something maybe,because he said just to forget about the pivot in those videos.
So can u tell me what else you do in your swing that i don't do,
or what u do differently. I.E.: do your long irons go strait?

Thanks
