Leaving the , in the ideal , the Right Shoulder to bring the Power Package Down Plane in Startdown , "the period of Shoulder Acceleration" . 8-7- Section 7.
Thanks for sharing all the great TT material. Here's a small token of my appreciation in reference to "responsive movements"
From "The Golf Swing, The Ernest Jones Method" by Daryn Hammond 1920.

And Thank god for Homer Kelley who taught us we can start the club down in various ways. Right Forearm, Left Forearm, Right and Left Forearm, Left Wrist, and Right Shoulder.

Full Power per Homer and Tomasello
You'll have to ask yourself why does Homer write in the 7th edition that full power is generated through the left and right arms per....the paper trail is 12-5-3, 10-3-D, 10-3-A,B,C. Then go to Tomasello's Power video from the chapter series.

A few?'s DG.
1. 10-3-C + 10-3-K = Full power? Not too worried about it, sometimes I use it when tight or nervy and all I need is a reasonable shot.
2. 10-3-D ".....Either arm....",
Left or right but not both, correct?
3. I do experience "elbow" pain in the brachialis when I pull with the right arm. Would you suspect grip("swing wreckers"), alignment, tension or flexibility?
I beat alot of balls and this pain is a legitimate concern. At this point I am not convinced it is inherent to the "correct" procedure.

I suspect "pulling with a pitch right elbow" . STOP-IT. it will become permanent and U will not be able to streighten your elbow.
Just my experience.

Your suspicions are correct. My question now remains is it inherently structuraly insufficient or is there a flaw in my procedure?
So....
10-3-D(right arm) always = Picket Fence

I would suspect a flaw in your procedure/execution. I have swung the club with my right arm for years and no pain from the swinging procedure I learned from Tom Tomasello. I swing daily with weighted clubs per Harvey Penick's recommendation too.
As Tom Tomasello has said, all big hitters use their right arm.

Does your right elbow replace your left shouler?

Yes, but so does everyone else. There are three ways - Swing or drive the right forearm through impact, or use the Right Arm Swing with pitch elbow and risk the "twinge" that HB points out in 7-19.

I have been swinging with the right arm for over 15 years never felt a twinge in my right elbow.
Just read the new Mike Bender book Zach is using his arms in the downswing just like Tomasello per the Tomasello videos on this site. Interesting to note Bender is a Mac O'Grady disciple. Who did Mac O'Grady and Tom Tomasello spend a lot of time studying the Golfing Machine with....HK (Homer Kelley the man himself).
