[O.B.Left]

Golly that tape brings back memories of my time in that big room of tommy's at deer track golf & cc in myrtle beach. I like the video - very clear. In the last part where he holds the hips back and starts the arms down out toward first base is where I gave up on Tommy. He worked with me on that and it just didn't compute. It felt awkward. With axis tilt and that arm motion I could never find the plane line. Where was the tracing. I could never get back on course. He helped me alot but I never went back after that. Frankly it just felt weird to me. I was sitting down, squaring, from the TSP, pulling and that goofed that all up

David, with all due respect to Mr Tomasello , which is considerable, his geometry would not appear to be consistent with 1-L, 2-C or 7-2. You're quite right , you cant Trace a Straight Line Base Line when you've bent the plane to the right.


Horizontal HInging is not a swinging towards first base and a "rolling it over" to hit a shot between 1st and 2nd that draws left. It could work out that way but where's the underlying geometry? Where's the Associated Horizontal Basic Plane of the Hinge Action , where's the club face vs the club path, Divergence, where's his face at address, where's his plane line?

When he demonstrates the various Hinge Actions he sure appears to swing out to the right for Horizontal. As if Horizontal has its own associated Closed Plane Line. Ive heard an assertion from some that TGM'rs swing towards 1st base but I didnt know it really existed as theory from some A.I.'s

I dont really want to get into all this out of respect for Mr Tomasello but there's people out there who might think this is out of the book. Which it isnt.

The only time a TGM 'r really swings to the right is when he's pointed his plane line in that direction, Closed. Thrust on the other hand continues down and out towards the straight , square plane line until the Right Arm is Straight at Follow Through. The clubheads Arc of Approach is down and out towards the plane line until low point.

Delaware Golf is gonna hate me for this. Sorry man , T.T. had a lot of attributes , he did, his contribution was immense. Maybe he was simplifying or something ......
