Backstroke Sequence - Right Forearm, Shoulders, Shoulders Turning the HIPS. Downstroke Sequence - Right Forearm start down, On plane Right Shoulder (and hip slide), Left Hip Rotation. Re-Cap downstroke - Right Forearm, Shoulders, Hips. The sequence in the Australia tape where Tomasello says...the first move is to withdrawl the right hip....he's isolating a pivot component...he wants you to feel the full motion of the right hip turning out of the way per 12-3-0-24 (clearing right hip)...withdrawling the right hip in the backstroke is not the first motion to start the backstroke...that's a misinterpretation. Refer to the first sentence in 6-P-0....Tommy was big on isolating components....that goes for standard wrist action with the 1 to 2 move in the backstoke...that little move is component isolation. Tomasello taught delayed-hip action. DG Delaware Golf View Public Profile Send a private message to Delaware Golf Find all posts by Delaware Golf
