Tomasello also use to refer to as swinging too. But he uncocked the right elbow from the top through the right forearm per the Magic of the Right Forearm. Powerful swinger that Tomasello.
I have video of Tomasello swinging a club when Tommy was in top form (1987).....his swing was as smooth and powerful as Els and Tommy was approximately 63 years old.

To truly be a right arm swinger doesn't the right elbow move past the right hip before contact? Which presents another question - do we pull with the right side or the left side when swinging?
It may just be me, but this doesn't tell ME much.
It may be the bad camera angle,but the notes I would question-Goosen is noticeably steeper on his down stroke?
I never saw it when he was based in England.

Good call. That was an erroneous analysis based on a bad camera angle. The correct camera angle would show him right on plane on the downswing.

The above is open for debate....I have Tomasello on video teaching a student...and Tommy asks the student what are you going to start the club down with....the student's response.....the muscles of both forearms. When I studied with Tommy I believe it was all right forearm. I have 8 hours of my instruction with him on audio cassette....1/3 of the total time instruction time with Tommy. I believe the whipcracking reference that Tomasello mentioned might be the muscles of both forearms move to start the club down. I'm still listening to my tapes. On the Australia videos we have Tomasello teaching the two forearm startdown, but primarily with the right forearm. But Tommy always taught the uncocking of the right forearm from the top. I have references of that from 1987 through 1993.
The forearm answer is... you can use all three combinations for swinging (Watched Tommy's 1987 teaching video, he said you could use all three combinations, what a revelation). Left forearm only, Right Forearm only, or both. Reference Tommy's Chapter series #5 video on power...when Tommy talks about regulating power for the shot at hand. It's up to you the golfer to decide.
