Zach Johnson validates Tom Tomasello's Instruction
Zach Johnson's win on Sunday at the John Deere Classic Validates Tom Tomasello's instruction of the Golfing Machine. Why? Zach's downstroke motion is exactly the same swinging action that Tom Tomasello taught in the Chapter Series of videos on this site. The action is using both Forearms to pull the club down with the lower body responding (hips leading the shoulders)....reference section 6-B-2-0 on page 72 in the 7th edition of The Golfing Machine (muscles of both forearms). Also reference golf instructor Mike Bender's new book "Build the Swing of a Lifetime" Zach Johnson's instructor and Zach's caddie on the bag on Sunday. It's interesting that Mike Bender studied the golf swing with Mac O'Grady another Homer Kelley student.

"With the lower body following."
I have to look this up about the lower body following I always thought the lower body leads if it does anything.

How about we change following to responding!!!
Feel better.

Zach's pivot may be responding to intent, the intent does not appear to be a wrist throw. Additionally, Zach uses alot of lower body action. Looks like he swings that board a long way.
This is simply a Turned Shoulder Plane, left arm Swing in which the right shoulder drives PP#3 through impact, and even though the right forearm is perfectly on the sweetspot plane at impact at 0:37, and on the DS, his shoulder and hip rotation start simultaneously, it is not a right arm swing. .
What we see versus what we feel... It looks like a simple turned shoulder plane with thrust downplane by the shoulders. Mike Bender says he is firing his arms at beginning of downswing.... Video doesn't tell the whole truth...
I believe you have that wrong about the basic plane. Zach's swinging on an Elbow basic plane not a turned shoulder basic plane. Trust me, the downstroke is the same as Tomasello's arm action, just watch Tommy's Chapter Series video on Swinging and Hitting. I believe it's last chapter series video. Now Tommy is swinging on s turned shoulder plane with a Straight Line delivery path. Zach's swinging on an Angled delivery path.

Just what arm muscles is he firing at the Top? His right shoulder and hands start moving simultaneously from the Top, and the right elbow retains it's bend, so it isn't the right triceps.
