Tomasello in Golf Digest
I met Tommy in the early 80's. When Davis Love lll was in college there was an article in Golf Digest about how he hit it so far. Davis Love Jr. and Tommy discussed his "Magic Move". I remember Tommy saying it was a tricky move, like drawing an arrow out of a quiver. Does anyone remember that article? Any comments about the "Magic Move"? I thought it was interesting that Tommy influenced Davis Love Jr.'s teaching.

Tommy does actually go into the "drawing an arrow out of a quiver" in one of these clips. Dave would be able to tell you where it was exactly for sure. It's just as you said it was in the book.

Tom lived in Atlanta for some time. He probably met Davis then.

I think Tom got the "drawing an arrow out of a quiver" right from 10-19-C-- Drag Loading.

If my memory is correct, that sub-section of the Golf Digest article was a debate (panel discussion) by a few golf professional (mostly those on the Golf Digest Advisory Staff) on what they thought allow Davis Love III to hit the ball so far.

Lagster is correct on the 10-19-C.

Thanks for the replies, and thanks for this forum. It's really helping me understand the TGM.

After listening to my Tomasello 3 day school audio tapes....the Magic Move mentioned above....it's the "Magic of the Right Forearm". Tommy had a very specific why of teaching it. It's indirectly mentioned in Davis Love Jr's book "How to Feel a Real Golf Swing" in the discussion about how Davis Love III learned to drive a ball 350 yards. I highly recommend the book...

Another point about the "Magic Move" being tricky....it takes some getting use to the right forearm starting the downswing.

It's interesting that the "Magic of the Right Forearm" didn't appear in the book until the 6th edition. I know Tomasello was working with Homer at the time the 5th edition came out. Just don't know the exact date that Tommy made his first phone call to Homer.

Books to checkout with the right arm involved with swinging:

Mark Evershed's "The Golf Solution"
Davis Love Jr's/Bob Toski "How to Feel a Real Golf Swing"
John Jacob's "Practical Golf"
Ernie Els "How to Build a Classic Golf Swing"


All of the texts mention above are in line the Magic of the Right Forearm approach that Tommy taught...active arms and quite body (responding pivot).
