[Delaware Golf]

I started the thread the "Tomasello Argument" and I will end with the Tomasello Argument on Tommy's behalf.

During my three day school, I asked Tommy where in the book does it say start the club down with the Right Forearm. Tomasello's response....7-3, THE MAGIC OF THE RIGHT FOREARM. Hitting or Swinging. "The Right Forearm has complete control".
The upward and downward force is provided by a straight-up folding and un-folding of the right forearm from it's address position. You simply fold your right arm at the elbow to swing the club up. From there, you try to throw the clubhead into the ground by unfolding your right arm. Tom Tomasello Golf Illustrated July 1991.

(TGM 7-3. Bending and Straightening the Right Elbow will RAISE AND LOWER the Left Arm and/or COCK AND UNCOCK the Left Wrist without Bending, Flattening or Cocking the Right Wrist.)

(TGM 7-3...it is absolutely MANDATORY that, Hitting or Swinging, it is the Right Forearm---not just the Right Hand and/or Clubshaft--that must be thrown, or driven, into impact per 7-2-3.)

"All that Stuff about leading the downswing with a lateral move of the lower body, driving the hips and legs towards the target to retain power---it's all terribly wrong! It seems to be what's happening, but it's not really what happens in the most efficient, centifugal-force golf swing." Tom Tomasello Golf Illustrated July 1991.
GI: What happens to the shots of the player who executes these moves

Tomasello:The player will immediately hit the ball higher and straighter, and substantially longer. The flight pattern will be dead straight to its apex, with the ball falling a touch left or drawing fractionally as it decends.

GI: How long before a student makes significant improvement?

Tomasello: I can give you documented examples of golfers with no previous record of success who started winning tournaments at various levels immediately. But the learning is never-ending. The amount of time and dedication the golfer puts in determines how far he or she can go.
