The Tomasello Argument

[Delaware Golf]

Hi DG and ChangeMySwing,

I agree with ChangeMySwing that there appears to be a difference in the Australian Video where Tomesello appear to connect the elbows to the hip and then execute a 'hit it' procedure directly at the ball. In the video letter series, he execute a karate chop to the ground, much like the CGS procedure.

I am a beginning golfer and still finetuning my swing. I like what Tomesello teaches and would like to know if there is really any difference between the above two procedures (or if one is merely a drill).

Appreciate any help where possible.

cheers,

daniel

Here is where the confusion lies...in the Australia video Tommy is demonstrating the swing in slow motion...two motions are happening at the same time...the right forearm moves down at the same time as the right elbow uncocks. The Australia video emphasizes the right forearm moving down where as in the Letter series video Tommy emphasizes the uncocking motion. You really need to watch both series to understand the full motion. To prove my point...watch the letter #2 video...watch where Tommy's swing ends up when he talks about high speed cameras capturing the swing in slow motion...Tommy ends up at the same release point as the Australia video. As Tommy says, "It's an illusion"....both swings end up at a snap release point. Why? Because it's the same swing. Taught two different ways...I have been watching the Australia video for 13 years, I know all of the subtle differences.
