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

Do you tend to have a very upright motion/plane? It sounds to me that you may tend to be overplane, in which case you may find it helpful to think of getting your hands more "above your right shoulder" rather than above your head (hence slightly more 'behind' you). In short, you need a better plane angle to allow you to get a bit more 'out' rather than just all 'down'.
