could you draw a picture of how the right elbow could be in front of the ball at impact with a driver?
I don't have the inclination to draw a picture but imagine Playing the Ball opposite your Right Foot by opening the Stance and/or Plane line (Mostly, just the Plane Line). This would be Typical of the Right Arm Swinger. Go to the range and hit balls this way. Close the Clubface a little. Easy Peasy.
I don't think that the Right Elbow Aligned ahead of the Ball at Impact is practical or feasible enough to Pattern the Components with the Ball located forward in your stance as with a Left Shoulder Centered Swing.
But it's obvious that, if the Center of the Stroke is behind the Ball, then during Impact, the Clubhead would be traveling Forward, Up and In, not Forward, Down and Out.
Of all the "Topped" shots mishit everyday, I wonder how many are caused by mistaken Stroke Centers?
The swing Tommy is demonstrating in the Chapter series of videos is a four barrel swinging pattern. The downswing is triggered with the muscles of both forearms....reference Accumulator number 2 in section 6 of TGM. And the combination trigger per chapter 11 (10-20-B and 10-20-D). It's a full power golf swing utilizing Major and Minor Strokes 10-3-B and 10-3-D per the 7th edition. The swing center is the left shoulder not the right elbow per 10-3-K.
