He taught that Right Forearm procedure to many people, and many people liked it and had success with it. During his Advanced School... Tom demonstrated Classic Rope Handle Swinging, and Standard Hitting(he liked a Strong Double Action for Hitting), and could do both pretty well.

I believe the procedure Tom described in the Golf Illustrated Magazine, was the way he thought was probably the easiest way to play golf. The Right Forearm cocks Up and Down, and there is very little lateral motion of the Pivot.

Jodie Mudd was one of his famous students, but another one that did quite well was 2 time U.S. Senior Amateur Champion... Clarence Moore. Clarence used the Right Forearm Procedure when I saw him, and struck the ball beautifully. He would also use Standard Hitting at times, especially when he was between clubs.
This is not a question of whether or not Tommy thought this was an easier procedure, the statment that I highlighted in the interview said leading with the hips and legs towards the target was terribly wrong versus being a different procedure. It's interesting that Tommy didn't teach Mark Evershed, Peter Croker, Lee Deitrick or Coophitter an advanced procedure there all PGA professionals?

In my lesson with Tommy, he said the hips don't generate power they only maintain velocity.
