He taught... Right Hip starts very slightly first(clear the hip), then the right arm pickup. "Right hip/ Right arm, then Right arm/ left hip...face the target."
Yup, found it on DVD#7 when he is talking about Zone #1.
Also, as someone mentioned earlier, TT definitely had access to the 7th edition before it was published. When going through components he had everyone switch "shoulder turn" to "C rotated" for the swinging procedure, and mentioned that Homer made that change before he died.

People have mentioned video problems on #7 & 8 well I finally got to watch the rest of the #7 dvd, I had no problem with audio or video. I watched the beginning of #8 and so far still no problem with audio/video. So hopefully it was just a few sets, the good thing is Tomasello is a good speaker and easily paints a picture in your mind so the visual aspect is not crucial in my opinion.
In Disc 5 when discussing "monitoring the hands", TT breaks out a stick with two flashlights attached to each side to demonstrate tracing the plane line with the right forearm (probably the first ever version of the "smart stick".) TT says that he invented it, showed it to Homer, then Homer included it in the next edition of the book.
Something interesting regarding takeaway appears on Disk 5 as well. TT says, "Pivot controls the backswing, Right forearm controls the downswing". He makes that statement a few times and says that is the easiest way to do it. He makes the statement when discussing "monitoring" in 5-0.
Question for DG or anybody else who had the pleasure of having lessons with TT. Did he teach a right forearm takeaway???
TT taught both Right Forearm takeaway and Standard Hip Action. At the beginning of my 3 day school Tommy taught me right forearm takeaway. At the end of my 3 day school Tom taught me the finer points of standard hip action. One point, standard hip action complies naturally with the 3 dimensional start up (Backward, Upward, and Inward). Especially the Backward action (however, Tommy used standard hip action only at the beginning of the backswing, then he used the right forearm pickup to keep the hands on the straight line delivery path, if he didn't the hands would go on a Top Arc and angled delivery path, true standard hip action from startup to the end of the backswing produces an angled path with the hands). My feeling is....Tom may have used standard hip action for two reasons....for the golfers who pulled the club inward with the right forearm and for the golfers who's backswing problem was lifting the club up without any backward motion. I'm sure Tommy was good at solving golfers problems as any other GSED or AI would tackle them. From the new DVD's, it appears Tommy taught the right forearm downswing per the magic of the right forearm or he taught "Shoulder Turn Throw" trigger (Lowering the right shouler at startdown, not with hips or lower body). Also from the DVD's, it appears Tommy was interested in what procedure worked best for you. He just layed out the options ( but appear to recommend using the right arm "Whipcracking" motion or the right shoulder for swinging)...at least this is the case at this 5 day school. I won't be able to watch the whole 12 DVD set from start to finish until mid-June.

I wonder why some people try to deny the usefulness of this pattern. I've been working on Tommy's pattern since late 2004, and have found much success from doing so. Before Tommy I shot in the low 90s--mid 80's, now I constantly shoot in the 70's and expect to break 60 sometime this year. His ideas work, and produces the most effortless swinging pattern than I have tried...I've tried almost every method and system out there. Why all the hate! For the guy trying to argue that Tommy's pattern is biomechanically incorrect, get real! This pattern is no different than throwing a ball! Your body supports the action, and your arms supply the power. Homer's science was very MEH!
First it was your going to injure your elbow, now it's not scientific. Four years at this and not a single injury.

I don't know if it's too late to call you, it's almost 10pm here.
How much are the dvds? What kind of payment do you prefer?
I talked to you on Brian's forum, Self-Mastery. Have you found a remedy for your golf swing woes? Are you trying Tomasello's pattern?
Aren't you the dude that laid The Machine to rest over there? What are you doin' slummin' over here? Did the drunk climb back up on your back or something?
