I like Tom's idea of the using the right hand for power and trying to unbend the wrist.
Mike,
Centrifugal Power is gained by Lever Extension (2-P). Lever Extension is the Vertical Uncocking of the Left Wrist. It is not the Horizontal Bending of the Right Wrist, a.k.a. 'False Feel Wrist Action' (6-D-3). Per 1-L-#8: "No portion of the Lever Assembly can swing forward independently."
There are an awful lot of GREAT players (past and present) that flatten their RIGHT WRIST past impact.
Fred Couples...Phil Mickelson....Vijay Singh....
So.....hard to argue with the ABILITY of something to work at the highest levels.
BUT!
Personally, I can't stand the look of it.
Now, in Lynn Blake's procedure, there is NO DOUBT that he allows the right wrist to FLATTEN...POST-follow through.
But...I don't EVER let mine flatten if I can help it..
I only allow my students to do it like Lynn and David Toms do it, flat left/bent right at impact-to the follow-through and then as the club swivels up the plane, the right wrist can flatten.
So in Tom Tomesello's defense MAYBE this is what he was talking about.
But....I would never, ever personally say it the way he did on the tape.
As far as four-barrel swinging goes.....nah, lets just talk about flattening right wrists
Rather than tell us what we don't know, please tell us what you know.
We have spent a great deal of time and energy broadcasting Tom's wonderful video.
Please educate us on everything passed to you and your personal research on the right hand/arm stroke. Let's all learn from each other my friend. This entire section is dedicated out of respect for Tom and no matter what happens here, we at LBG are going to make sure Tom's legacy not only stays in tact, but is enhanced.
Read my posts, it's all there...there are 133 of them.

DG,
Seriously if it is all there, I'll pull together all of your posts related to the subject and post them in one piece. No problem and no messing around. Just a quick database extract.
There's a hella lotta good coming out of this series too Dave. People will make their own headway based on trial and error i think. His conveyance of the hinges and extensor action have helped many i'm sure. It's always hard learning via methods where the instructor cannot watch and correct you. Actually i might try to call on a very special someone, no promises tho.
Delaware,
Just because someone disagrees with something he says doesn't mean you should take the opportunity away from those who want to hear what he has to say. Please don't take away my chance for viewing Tomasello's theories. Keeping an AI's material away from students is keeping TGM in the closet. There is no way many of us will ever see anything Tomasello has said without these videos.

ditto. I've gotten a lot from the series so far and would hate to miss the remaining chapters.
