Interesting note from Tomasello's July 1991 interview in Golf Illustrated....
"Detrators--and there have been many--condemn the system as hopelessly complex and impossible to put into practical use (comments about TGM). A.J Tomasello is one of the very few (that includes Yoda )who have been able to break down this intimidating array of laws into a few basic movements that, far from being impossilbe, can leave a student asking "Can the golf swing really be this simple?....
Then the interview concludes:
GI: How long before a student makes significant improvement?
Tomasello: I can give you documented examples of golfers with no previous record of success who started winning tournaments at various levels almost immediately. But the learning is never ending. The amount of time and dedication the golfer puts in determines how far he or she can go.
A comment from a Tomasello student...
"I started working with Tom Tomasello on The Golfing Machine in March 1984. At the time I was in danger of losing my tour card. I finished the year qualifying in 15 of the last 17 events and climbed from 250 to 35 on the Money list".

Sounds like this stuff works...
Coophitter,
I feel the right tricep in the right arm swing and the left arm swing is passive...it (right triceps) reacts to the triggering action of the right forearm (in a right arm accelerated stroke)...the Magic of the Right Forearm. I do not think about the right triceps at ALL, they just supply muscle power on their own just like they would in a momentum transfer swing. I believe that's why Tomasello used this approach...it has the advantage of using the dominant arm but it also produces accurate shots like the momentum transfer swing. Power and Accuracy....what more do you want.....one Burbon, one Scotch, one Beer, maybe....or maybe just a Bud Light!!!!! To GO....no standing at the bar, we've got golf shots to hitttttttttt.........
