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


Uh oh? "Houston, we have a Problem".

Hitting, the Right Hand moves down a Straight Line Path to the Ball and the Elbow Location Loaded Directly behind the Primary Lever supports that motion. This Elbow Action insures that Right Arm Thrust will Uncock the Left Wrist. Downward Angle of Attack. This is the same Elbow Action of a "Shot Putt-er" with a different Wrist rotation. It's a Punch Motion.

Swingers, Side Arm Throw, like Ben Hogan aptly demonstrates. This Elbow Action is very compatible with CF and the Throwout of the Secondary Lever. It's a Pitch Motion. You can Drive the Right Forearm with the Power Package without it causing the Left Wrist to Uncock. This occurs in the Downstroke Acceleration Sequence.

Both Actions have some of both Motions. The Swinger has mostly Fanning but still with a little of the Punch. Hitters have mostly Punch, but with a little Fanning.

Hitting total motion is nothing like a shot put. Nothing like Push Basic.


D you are you coming out of the closet or something? I can help you, Ill be gentle.

Daryl do you make a right arm side arm throwing motion? Its beautiful if you do..........Homer said it was natural actually.

Daryl its ok to be a HITTER or even a Right Arm Swinger........

Who said "Push". "Shot Put" is a "Punch".

Homer never said that Hitting was like a Side-Arm Throw.

You're a Swinger. So, How does it feel to be on the side of the Righteous? Pink underwear on Sundays.

How'd you know I was Swinging today? Are you up here with Obama's security team or something?

Shot putting is inline like Push Basic and you know it. No one throws..........fans and bends a shot put. It'd rip your right elbow apart. Homer said Push Basic, bending only was for short shots.

12-1 recommends Punch Elbow.......meaning there's fanning and bending. Fanning and Bending is a side armed throwing motion. Hitting its an Active motion Swinging it isnt, it just happens, either way Homer wanted it to happen. Hitting its 10-20-B, the aptly named, Right Arm "Throw".


Punch Elbow can approach Pitch anyways. There's a range. True Pitch elbow is really something, especially with Snap Release........dont know if Ive ever been there. Dont think that many people have. That's one wide open clubface with your hands over top the ball and your elbow in front of your body. Thats a Kodak moment for sure. Which brings us back to Tom and Jack and I dunno about Freddy. Did they get to Pitch Elbow? The first two werent Snap thats for sure.

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.

Not TT's Nephew
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.
