I find that using the Tomasello approach tends to replace some pivot power (for lack of a better term) with more right arm power.

I am currently employing a double shift swing using a maximum trigger delay and i achieve my swing speed and effortless type power to a well-trained pivot.

I have played with the Tomasello approach and find that i don't use my pivot as actively. If i do impact becomes erractic. However if i don't use the body as much and use more right arm tommy's approach (as he teaches it in the video) works quite well imo.

My distance/swing speed is similar in both patterns. I just prefer my pattern over this one. Also, would you be willing to make copies of your Tomasello tapes/videos that are not posted on this site for a fee? I have PM'd you before about this with no response. I am truly interested in learning more about what Tommy had to say but am out of information.

Thank you

Jim,

Contact me again, I get quite a few emails and PMs. Sometimes, I lose track...

You're exactly right about increased accuracy as you allow the pivot to respond to the action of the right forearm. Great observation Jim...right on the money. I believe your accuracy would increase if you got rid of the double shift plane angle. Normally, the source of a double shift is a hip or shoulder takeaway instead of a right forearm takeaway. If you achieve a double shift through a right forearm takeaway you're trying to create a big shoulder turn with your shoulders (study 2-H)...just let the right forearm do the work and you will stay on the right path.

Tomasello used this method...going back it's right forearm and right hip (delayed hip action), right forearm takeaway and clear the right hip per 12-13-24, when the right hip stops you stop...downswing it's right forearm and left hip....downswing, the right forearm starts the downswing and you monitor the left hip, you don't want it to stop.
