3. Homer's explanation is incomplete.

4. DG is swinging with Full Power as described in the 7th edition of the golfing machine. I'm using the whipcracking technique taught by Tom Tomasello mentioned in the Golfing Machine per section 9-2 by Homer Kelley. Crack that whip!!! Devo. Circa early 80's.

That is twice you have omitted to classify yourself as a right arm swinger or not. I will do as I suspect you do, continue to crack that whip as a left arm swinger who knows how to use his right arm. The mystery fades away.

One section that Tomasello didn't agree with Homer on is that last paragraph of 7-19 with Twinge comment. I agree.

Just go to the Chapter Series on "Power" and you'll see how I use my right arm to accelerate the club.

On my full swing what I think about is three things, withdrawl the right hip, extensor action and keeping the hands on the straight delivery path.

Right Hip/Right Arm Backstroke, Right Arm/Left Hip Downstroke. On the downstroke, I just let the left hip respond to the action of the right arm (magic of the right forearm per 7-3), the hips lead the shoulders. The hips react with a sliding motion, then a rotational motion for release and follow through.

I really enjoy the Tomasello videos despite what 'appears' to be some descrepencies. 'Appears' to me that Tom was teaching a left arm swing with a wrist throw. Yoda 'appears' to have some genuine respect and/or affection for Tomasello so I don't wish to pursue this matter any further.

Sorry, but Tomasello was not teaching a 10-20-E Wrist Throw in the videos on this site. I have video of Tommy teaching that particular trigger and it's definitely not what's on these videos.
