Tom Watson talks about his right hand

[O.B.Left]

So, Claude taught Tom the "Right Forearm Flying Wedge".. Who Taught Claude?

Who is Delware Golf for 1,000 please Alex.


P.S. Can a right arm only Bat Basic Stroke from the sand , Random Sweep Release be Rope Handle? I suppose so but it could be Axe Handle too. Either way its not a left arm Swing.

Who said TW demonstrated a "Bat". That was a Pitch Elbow.

I thought that Delware was TT's Nephew or something??

Im gonna make a life line call to Jeff Hull ....... I dont think Bat is defined by an Elbow Position. Tom coulda been Right Arm Swinging maybe (Bat rope handle) but one thing is for sure he wasnt left Arm Swinging cause his left arm wasnt even attached to the club.

Thanks D. I think viewership is way up because of all this. Ill check the trades in the morning to see what our Neilsons were like. Then Ill come over to your neck of the woods , Swingers Central so you can rip me apart on your own turf about the Left Wrist Throw or California Merlots or something like that. Fair is fair.

I have a feeling there's a lot of Hitters out there that dont know it. Tons. Millions of em. They'll talk otherwise but then use their right side. Poor lost souls..... The swing centric golf mags only make them worse.

See ya.

Hey Hey Hey...

I'm not Tom Tomasello's nephew...however, I had the good fortune to study privately with Tommy back in October of 1993 (three day school mainly on swinging). Actually, I had a hard time believing what he was teaching me back then. I was stuck in thinking the lower body started the downswing. Starting in 2003, I made a dedicated effort to follow Tom's instruction exclusively. Today, I'm glad I did, the results are starting to really pay off.

Hi DG,

I'm just kidding around. It's nice to read your post. TT was a great and dedicated teacher.

Tom Waston's Lessons of a Lifetime DVDs just released are quite something. Not a bunch of how I play golf, rather a collection of how many ways there are to skin a cat. I was lucky enough to chat to him about it a few weeks back. Grip and Transition rank right up there in hanging anything together in a meaningful way.

Putting in the wind was an interesting section.

Do you mean hitting, DG?

When Swinging, in a full swing, pivot lag is essential, no?

[dsandridge]

Great stuff. Impact hands throughout swing. Maintain cup in left wrist i e geometric flat wrist. Solid stuff nothing goofy. Good discussion of grip and interesting how he sets up right forefinge ie pp 3.
