we are pleased to present another LBG Classic Video featuring Tom Tomasello, GSED. Tommy taped this one at his home in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in May 1992 at the age of 72. Lee had left him a voice mail asking a few questions. Rather than write back, Tommy sat down at the camera and videotaped his response for Lee...and for posterity.

No doubt there will be some interesting discussion of the motion he describes. Some have called it Right Arm Swinging. Others have called it Hitting with Horizontal Hinging. Tommy himself labeled it on the tape as the Magic of the Right Forearm, Homer Kelley's overarching term describing the normal participation of the Right Forearm in either the Punch or Pitch Major Basic Stroke (7-3).

I'll take Tommy at his word: I personally believe he is focusing on the Right Forearm's participation in the Left Arm Swing (12-2-0) Further, his description of the Pivot's response to the Right Forearm is simply his interpretation of the Hand-Controlled Pivot (Chapter 5). In any event, the video stands on its own and is here now for us all to see. We invite you to share your own conclusions. For ease of downloading, we have arbitrarily divided the video into two chapters of about fifteen minutes each.

Enjoy!

Thanks Lee for sending me a copy of this video a while back...as of June, I'm using the motion in the video for my primary full swing....it works....both distance and accuracy (won the last golf tournament I entered earlier this month....the swing holds up under tournament pressure).

Thanks Yoda for putting this video on your website...I believe a number of golfers will benefit from seeing it.

Bagger/Trig...great editing job as usual.
