The Right Arm Swing

[Delaware Golf]

Before I dive in, lets take a quick look at Basic Strokes in general.

There are 3 Major Basic Strokes based on elbow position at the release point; Pitch, Punch, and Push. Pitch elbow location is down and in front, Punch is located down and to the side, and Push is up and out. For the most part Swingers use either Pitch or Punch, and Hitters use either Punch or Push. For the sake of brevity I'm over-generalizing here, there is more details to be found in 10-3.

There are 7 Minor Basic Strokes which Homer classifies as Arm Motions. Every golf swing uses a Major Basic Stroke in combination with a Minor Basic Stroke. Said another way, every swing has a defined elbow position combined with a defined arm motion. Minor Strokes can also be combined to execute short shots. Homer lists all of the possible combinations in section 11-0-3.

In terms of the Right Arm Swing, Homer narrowly defines it as using the 10-3-K Minor Basic Stroke called "The Bat". The Bat can be combined with either a Pitch elbow location or Punch elbow location. Homer describes The Bat stroke as "Right Elbow Hinge" in chapter 11. Next step is to explore The Bat.

Trust me....you'll wind up back with Tommy, it could take 10 or 12 years...but, you'll see the light!!! Most of the answers are in the Tomasello videos....here's one comment to key in on...."it's one smooth motion"....that statement complies with Longitudinal acceleration. Tommy does not hit with that motion....eventhough on the Australia video.....he says "hit hit hit"...it's an automatic release. Reference letter video two....when Tommy talks about filming the swing with high speed cameras (just after the 14 minute mark).
