In the Tom Tomasello video tapes, he talks of the two forearms pulling the entire power package down to waist level while the body clears out of the way. He then states that the "right arm hits the ball", which seemingly implies that the right elbow straightening action is an active action. Therefore, Tom Tomasello is apparently describing a 4-barrel swing action activated by the right arm throw action - in the following sequence 4, 1,2,3. Power accumulator #4 is released by the "two forearms" pulling the entire power package downwards and thereby simultaneously propelling the left arm forward (while the pivot action simply allows the body to get out of the way), and then the right elbow straightens actively releasing power accumulator #1.

Is that how you understand the TT right arm swing action that DG recommends?

Why would DG believe that TT's right arm swing action is preferable to the standard pivot-driven triple barrel swing action (4,2,3)?

Jeff watch the lee dietrick video and TT sitting on the chair demonstrating the right hand karate chop motion and it will become very clear ( left hand grip is important as well)
Is it superior? Well Ben Hogan did it so there is the answer right there. Now i can understand why TT was considered controversial but really the genius is there for all to see
