With the release of the new Tomasello video a recording from 1989, it will be interesting to see/hear how much Tommy talks about pulling the club down with both forearms to start the downswing. As far as the pulling down of the right forearm and the uncocking the right elbow at start down....when I studied with Tommy I asked him where did that come from....where in the book does it say that...Tommy's response 7-3. From my lessons with Tommy and what is written in the book....I believe the paper trail in the book (especially the 7th edition) that shows how Tommy taught swinging can be found in the following sections of the book...follow this trail....start with section 7-3, then go to 10-3-B...then 10-3-D, next 6-B-2-0, 12-5-3 then watch the #5 Chapter series video on Power then watch the #2 Letter series video. Pay attention to the comments on forearms and full power.

Thanks Howard for making the new Tomasello tapes available....I'm sure many new insights will come from watching the tapes over and over....in addition to the comments from the forum members who have bought and will do a complete study of the instruction. Good Job!!!!

Science blows holes in this TT, forearm, maximum power theory.

Firstly, I have seen ZERO data in ANY of the 3-D imaging technology that supports the theory about the forearms starting the downstroke. So, you can choose to believe the theory and ignore the data or believe the data and ignore the theory.

Secondly, it ruins the sequencing and summation of the proper stretch-shorten cycles of the involved muscle groups.

If you still choose to believe that the world is flat, the rest of Tommy's work will be considered a bunch of garbage. And, that's not the case; because, Tommy had a lot to offer.
