I watched it again, he is talking about uncocking the right wrist (app. 14 min. into the video), and about uncocking both wrists, but it might be explaining what golfers do wrong. It's a little unclear. I might have mixed it with the motion he is doing all the time, where it looks like he is throwing the right hand out and at the same time uncocking the right wrist.
Anyway it makes a lot of sence this swing, and I'm definitely going to experiment with it. I'm a converted hitter ( hitting all shots from putter to driver these days) but some days it seems like I mix old swinging habits into it, messing it up bad. Right hand swinging might be the answer especially with the longer clubs.
Thom,
On cassette tape from my 3 day school with Tomasello...I have Tommy saying the right wrist remains level throughout the swing...however, it's interesting...in section 2-P last paragraph Homer says....Centrifugal Force alone Uncocks the Swinger's Wrists...I believe I have Tomasello on tape saying centrifugal force is responsible for uncocking the left wrist in the downswing eventhough he is using the right forearm to uncock the right elbow.

Obviously, there is a great deal of interest in what Tommy, one of the early influential figures in The Golfing Machine®, had to say about the Golf Stroke. And there is no doubt that he influenced at least two very large figures in golf -- Jodie Mudd, the Player and Davis Love, Jr., the Teacher. To that end, we have for you an encore presentation...
OK, I didn't get this part. What does he mean by "swing the clubhead in front of the left side?"
He says that, but that's not what he's doing - he's moving the entire club past the left hip, not just the clubhead. But the problem is that he's doing it by moving his entire left arm away from his body with arm effort.
"A.J. Tomasello is one of the very few who have been able to break down this intimidating array of physical laws into a few basic movements that, far from being impossible, can leave a student asking "Can the golf swing really be this simple?"....

Bagger?
Hmmmmm.....another Tomasello video in the vault!!!
So what he stated and demonstrated, certainly appears to be a Swinging Motion. For some reason with all the discussion I expected to see this hitting motion, but it is not.
