This debate about Tomasello is stupid, i'm sure he was an extremely talented instructor. TGM is all about OPTIONS and finding the right OPTIONS for your particular student!
Every instructor has preferences but any good instructor will teach the student what works best FOR HIM/HER!
Maybe for you DG it was a RFP technique, maybe for a lot of others it was the standard hip action and elbow plane.
I know personally, that i don't use the eblow plane (at least since the last time i've seen brian, i might be subconsciously using it now, but he'll make that evaluation when i see him again) and do much better on the turning shoulder plane.
Don't modify the student into your preferences, modify your preferences to meet the students!

Hmmmmm....interesting comments...at the time of that conversation with Tomasello I hadn't pickup a club yet...that was the first day/morning of my three day school...so, Tomasello's comments were not influenced by my swing....I believe Tomasello's comments/recommendations were on par with stroke patterns 12-1-0 and 12-2-0....look at those two patterns...where do you see standard hip action...and that's coming from Homer.
I am personally enjoying the civility of this discussion and the restraint shown by all. It is the respectful give-and-take one would expect in a fine club, even when opinions are strongly held.
This is just one more thing that differentiates the LBG Forums from many others. We are like-minded individuals gathered for a common purpose: To learn from and share with others in an atmosphere of comraderie and mutual respect.

I am fine with what Mr.Tomascello taught you...No problemo...And I didn't happen to bump in to Jim Percherke ...I called him to order a pair of #75478 9D Classic Dress Shoes from Footjoy and to thank him for his contribution of 4 more studio chairs for my studio....Our post reminded me of him!!! So thank you for jarring my memory...
Good place to for someone to explain why tracing a straight plane line in the backswing is Imperative?
Interesting point, nevermind, and one that deserves an important differentiation.
Tracing a Straight Plane Line on the Backstroke simplifies the mission of getting to the Top correctly. However, because the Top itself can be (and is) a re-alignment place, the route chosen from Address can and does vary widely.
On the other hand, Impact is not a re-alignment place. You are either on the money there or you are not. And Tracing a Straight Plane Line on the Downstroke is mandatory to correctly Deliver the Clubhead into the Ball.
Therefore, it is this last Tracing -- not the first -- that is The Third Imperative.
I haven't read my book for a while, guess I forgot the part where it specifies that tracing the straight plane line during the Backstroke is not a part of the Third Imperative.
