Tomasello's pattern is not the "end-all-be-all" of golf stroke patterns. It takes a lot of work beyond watching videos and reading old articles to make this or any pattern work. My biggest problem with making this pattern work in the real world is understand how the pivot works. I think that 90% of the golf stroke is the pivot, and Tomasello totally washes over it, but insteads preaches this hands controlled pivot fallacy. What he says and does are completely opposite. Learn how to pivot first and then add you right arm. That is how golf is played and it doesnt matter if you are a hitter, swinger, or switter. The hands cannot logically ever control the pivot; the pivot cannot logically control the hands. It takes both. It is the pivot stupid
That is how I learned how to use my right arm in the golf swing, it is how most good players control the swing. Everything else is jsut theory and marketing.
Add a correct pivot and you now have a maximum participation stroke.
"Have at it." I have and the ball sails 290 + down the fairway with a draw.
The above comments are a deviation from TGM...see 12-13-0.
IN TGM the ARMS LANE IS THE POWER LANE NOT THE PIVOT...Hips do not provide power they only maintain velocity.
