Great video
TT is talking about uncocking the right wrist down plane, is that what he is feeling. According to TGM the right wrist should never cock, only bend??

I thought he was talking about uncocking the right forearm, but I need to look at it again. If he actually said so I am sure his mind was somewhere else. Maybe in his hands...

He starts out OK with zeroing out wristcock and #3 accum while HITTING some punch shots. It's all downhill from there. It's one thing to give the bad advice of throwing the club down from the top with the arms(#4 throwaway), but to do it along with wristcock throwaway makes it even worse.
Anyone who takes this advice will have to overaccelerate the left wrist to keep the left wrist flat and avoid flipping. Without a hip slide preceding the arm movement, the player will constantly be on the edge of hitting fat.
It sounds as if he had been listening to Jimmy "No Angles" Ballard when he makes his "anti-drag" comments and says it leads to hitting the ball to the right. And also it sounds as if he had been listening to Croker.

Joe,
The full swings that Tomasello takes at the ball after the short shots are downhill....hmmmm. I think I would watch the video again...
I truly believe the golf swings that Tomasello takes in the Australia video are the same motion in this latest video from his studio in 1992. Why...it's the finish...the throw from the top at the beginning of the downswing produces a very controlled finish...I'm producing the same finish now, that was the big revelation once I started to use this exact motion....checkout Tomasello's Australia video then checkout out Jodie Mudd's swing...both have identical finishes...
I don't remember Peter Croker ever mentioning using the MAGIC OF THE RIGHT FOREARM in his book or the video I have (The HIT basics)...

...@the back end of Deertrack just before moving back up north, when Tom came out in a cart. He was not doing well physically; he was very bloated from medication, and had the shakes. Anyway, Kevin had just put an arthritic grip on his 5 wood, and he wanted to see if it helped him hold the club better. Anyway, he dropped a ball on the ground, and with his arms trembling, he took a swing with his 5 wood...and hit the most beautiful 200 yard little draw you've ever seen. I will NEVER forget that shot- what it looked like. He chuckled a little and then watched me hit some more shots. That was the last time I saw him, and he passed away about 6 or 7 months later. I can't begin to describe to you how much I miss him.
Good to read the positive feedback/responses about what Tommy taught and his talent for executing great golf shots...after 12 years around the material, it's been a blast for the last year and half revisiting what Tommy taught and seeing what it has done for my game...
Thanks again Yoda and team for putting up the Tomasello videos...it's a great collection of instruction.
I've noticed it's getting rave reviews on other forums as well. Folks coming in to this site to visit Tommy.
Nice to have his memory and teachings live on...
