The Right Arm Swing

[Bagger Lance]

So bagger- is the RAS (not TT's stroke) just a baseball kinda of throw of the clubhead on plane to the ball? 'ouch'

6B - You are correct that based on all known evidence, TT never called his method a Right Arm Swing and as far as LBG is concerned, he promoted a left shoulder center swing stroke and a very good one at that. DG has coined TT's teaching a RAS stroke and therein lies a lot of confusion on this Forum. I would prefer he call it a "Magic of the Right Forearm" stroke or something along those lines. This is why I need to separate the learning from TT's teaching. There are common elements but as best we can tell, Tom didn't teach a textbook RAS procedure with a right elbow center stroke.

I may need to lock the thread after this post!

I'm interested in getting to the bottom of the RAS stroke because it is unknowingly used by many; for better or worse.

It is very similar to an "on plane" baseball pitch but doesn't necessarily require a deep pitch elbow, or pitch elbow for that matter. It's a CF swing and there is still a hinge running through the center of the head through the middle of the feet.
