[Delaware Golf]

I am under the impression Tom's swing is the Right forearm swing and if not properly executed will hurt the right elbow. So what is the key of execution without hurting the right elbow?

Mark Evershed has made the comment that hitting up will cause problems with the elbow...the only time I experienced pain in the right elbow is when I tried to use downstroke loading with a pitch basic motion by trying increase the right elbow bend.

And hands during impact: He mentioned Fire to Undo the bend of the right wrist. what exactly does it do? And undoing the bend of right wrist , is it important for horizontal hinge ? does it happen in every Swing? Does it affect Roll during impact?

Thanks in advance.

Nuke99,



In Real Estate it's Location, Location, Location....in TGM it's Interpretation, Interpretation, Interpretation...in the Australia video series the key word for correct interpretation is "TRY" to unbend the right wrist...in the video Tommy is saying you can't undo the bend if you "ALLOW" the left hip to rotate at release...if you stop the left hip the hands will break down and you will generate clubhead throwaway. The motion of the right forearm is up and down per 7-3. "ALWAYS, for all procedures, the Right Forearm is positioned "On Plane" ---pointing at the Plane Line as the Angle of Attack (2-N). The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the Clubshaft must take throughout the Stroke (2-J-3)." For those of you who have the Tomasello interview, reference page 52 of the interview and how Tommy's description of the right forearm motion sync's up with 7-3.

PM me with your regular email address and I will send you a copy of Tomasello's 1991 GI interview. I believe that interview will clear up your confusion.

BTW, Mark Evershed has made the comment that hitting up will cause problems with the right elbow...the only time I experienced pain in the right elbow is when I tried to use downstroke loading with a pitch basic motion by trying to increase the right elbow bend. Other than that, no problems at all. I even use weighted clubs during practice sessions, especially during the winter months.
