Yes, Tom really liked that Right Forearm procedure, but he knew about other procedures also. I worked with him many times.
He taught that Right Forearm procedure to many people, and many people liked it and had success with it. During his Advanced School... Tom demonstrated Classic Rope Handle Swinging, and Standard Hitting(he liked a Strong Double Action for Hitting), and could do both pretty well.
I believe the procedure Tom described in the Golf Illustrated Magazine, was the way he thought was probably the easiest way to play golf. The Right Forearm cocks Up and Down, and there is very little lateral motion of the Pivot.
Jodie Mudd was one of his famous students, but another one that did quite well was 2 time U.S. Senior Amateur Champion... Clarence Moore. Clarence used the Right Forearm Procedure when I saw him, and struck the ball beautifully. He would also use Standard Hitting at times, especially when he was between clubs.
This is not a question of whether or not Tommy thought this was an easier procedure, the statment that I highlighted in the interview said leading with the hips and legs towards the target was terribly wrong versus being a different procedure. It's interesting that Tommy didn't teach Mark Evershed, Peter Croker, Lee Deitrick or Coophitter an advanced procedure there all PGA professionals?
In my lesson with Tommy, he said the hips don't generate power they only maintain velocity.

Yes, Tom used to have Schools. He had different ones. A kind of Basic School, Hitting School, and Advanced School. I'm not sure what Schools these guys went through, if any. Tom would also teach private lessons, mostly there in the studio upstairs at Deertrack.
At the ADVANCED SCHOOL, the procedures he taught were not necessarily more Advanced, they were just different procedures. Tom wanted students, especially teachers, to uderstand different procedures. I remember he said something like... "Today we will go out and see how Hogan swung the club," when he was teaching about Classic Swinging.
Now... if a student went there strictly as a PLAYER, he would probably not have them go into those different procedures much, if at all. They would most likely stay with that procedure written about in Golf Illustrated. I think much of what Tom taught in this procedure came from 7-3 in TGM.
