I never inferred that it did. I merely stated that if a swinger uses a standard 4:2:3 swing pattern that there is a danger to adding right arm push-power at some point in the mid-late downswing. I stated that if one added a very active right elbow straightening action in the late downswing it could push the hands through the impact zone too fast and not provide sufficient time for a complete release of PA#3. I also stated that if one added right arm push-power via a right wrist unbending action in the late downswing it could produce flipping. I wasn't talking about TT's right arm throw action, which is a swing style where the right arm throw starts from the top.

You also stated-: "Homer considered it a viable option, I have nothing to do with it. The detailed explanation is already in the book, it's under section 7-3."

I have read 7-3. I can see no description of TT's right arm throw action in that section. Section 7-3 first deals with the relationship of the right forearm to the left arm flying wedge package in swinger's (arc of approach style) and hitters (angle of approach style) at the top of the swing. In the second half of that section HK talks of the position of the right forearm in the late downswing (whether driven or thrown) and he states-: "ALWAYS for all procedures, the Right Forearm is positioned "On Plane" - pointing at the plane line as the angle of attack. ------- The "Angle of Approach" position of the Right Forearm shows the precise Cross-Line direction the Forearm must take through Impact."

In other words, HK was merely describing the right forearm in relationship to the standard (4:2:3) swinger's action (where the right forearm is thrown) and a standard hitting action (where the right forearm is driven). I cannot identify a description of TT's "right arm throw" action in that section.

I have personally made an attempt to describe TT's "right arm throw" action in TGM terms. I first described it as a triple barrel 1:2:3 swing action. However, Yoda stated that I was incorrect because the "1" should be reserved for a hitting action where the right arm powers the clubshaft through impact via PP#3. TT wasn't describing a hitting action, but a swinging action. I therefore modified my description and called it a RAPF4:2:3 swing action. You are free to state whether you think that my description is right or wrong, and you are free to provide your personal perspective using TGM terminology (describing TT's "right arm throw" action in terms of the loading and release of power accumulators).

Jeff,

I'm sorry you're not catching on....it's in there. Between the videos, the interview, TGM text....it's all there.
