In a world filled with golfers who hit from the Top, Id say Homer was more about storing the Accumulated power (#2 Angle) for a later Release. To say nothing of Float Loading during Startdown where even more #2 Angle, power, is Accumulated.

Using 'both forearms" at the same time to fire #2? Never noticed that before. Interesting. Trying to think of the appropriate Throw combinations for that one. A left wrist throw and a right wrist throw , together? I dunno. That would make for a good thread, a Release thread though.
It's interesting, in Tom Tomasello's Australia Chapter series, Tom mentions that using the two forearm start down approach would add 40 to 50 yards to ones tee shot (right forearm power backing up centrifugal force). It appears to contradict the comments you made in your first paragraph??? Tom never mentioned the term firing the number #2 accumulator at startdown...he didn't mention firing the right forearm at startdown either. The demonstration I believe you're referencing is the letter series video...you need to make the connection between the arms and hands only demonstration that he is making and the comments he makes about the body responding to the arms, especially the left hip responding to the motion of the right forearm (Tommy's arms only demonstration is a demonstration of the "Magic of the Right Forearm" described in the last paragraph of 7-3). Your comments are a classic mis-interpretation of an instructors instruction". Something we've all done!!!
