Wow, Jeff, we sure do skip rocks differently. I skipped about a million of'em into the Rhine River as a kid, and I always stepped left before I made the skip. Never once did my right arm start forward before my left foot hit the ground. For sure, I felt the pull ("adduction" in your lingo) of my right arm, but that was because my stepping left leg was doing the pulling!
The same thing happens when you step forward before you throw a ball. Look at any ball player's throwing motion: At no time will you see the arm start forward before they step. In fact, I would argue that it is still going back.
Heck, who cares about throwing, just walk around a bit, let your arms swing freely and tell me: when you're right arm has swung back, does it start forward before your right leg steps? Of course not. Again, I would argue that it is still going back.
The same thing happens in a golf swing. I cannot believe that any intelligent person would think -- much less teach -- that the motion originates any other way.
Wow....The Dividing Line above....what an excellent place to end this thread.
Remember this....Tommy was able to teach the Mental game too over 20 years ago...he had it down then.
Mr. Tomasello had way more going for him than just swing mechanics...
Happy Holidays...
