I am so disgusted by people using the Hogan 3 right hands comment to pedal whatever swing philosophy they use. Bad enough to use quotes by famous people to justify yourself, why do people need to interpret the quote to fit in with their model? Saying that Hogan MEANT to say something other than he did is borderline reprehensible. Yeah, Hogan was a moron, never could figure out what he wanted to say. I've heard the 3 right hands quote used about 20 different ways by now.
By the way, Hogan once said he wished he had 5 right big toes, discuss!
I really don't think that Tom Tomasello thought Ben Hogan was a moron. In fact, when I studied with him, Tommy made several positive references to Mr. Hogan.
I believe the "Whipcracking" demonstration from DVD #6 will change a lot minds on how to swing a golf club.....reference "Whipcracking" in Chapter 9 section 2 (9-2) of the 6th and 7th editions.
"The choice must be made here between "Mop Swinging" (Drive Loading), "Towel Snapping" (Downstroke Loading) and "Whipcracking" (Drag Loading). See 7-19. Zone #2 Components are Power Components. Good Golf is Power Golf.
What two books were on Tom Tomasello's desk when I studied with him. The 1st edition of the Golfing Machine and Ben Hogan's "Power Golf". From this new set DVD's, Tommy says Homer used Ben Hogan's golf swing as his model....to clarify it better, Tommy said Homer used the pictures from the book and not words. My guess is Homer did the same with the 5 Fundamentals.
I believe in no way was Tomasello busting Ben Hogan's chops with the reference to 3 forearms instead of wishing he had 3 right hands. Just clarifying the truth.

It was very clear from the context in which Tommy made the statement that he was NOT busting Hogan's chops. In fact, he made a point a short time earlier that golfers often have a difficult time putting their feels into words, leading to the his conclusion that Hogan must have meant forearm when he said hands.
At the end of the 3rd DVD, Tommy is playing a video for the class consisting of 4 drills. Audio is great, but the video camera recording the classroom session had trouble recording the tv screen. Anyway, if I am not mistaken, I believe Tommy is playing for the class a copy of the same video that you have from 1988 (you gave it to a buddy of mine who shared it with me). Can you confirm?

Yes....it's either 1987 or 1988. There is also video tape of Jodie Mudd going through his swing with Tommy too. Lots of video being played on Tommy's in studio TV. Some of the quality is poor, but the audio comes through...just on ton of info on this DVD series...I recommend having a pen handy along with a copy of TGM by your side, plenty of notes to be taken through the series. It appears Tommy goes through a lot of the book with the attendees of this 5 day school. Every day of the school is captured on video. Trust me....this video is worth more $79. With Tommy no longer with us, I told Howard on the phone it's worth $5 to $10 thousand. EASY. When I spent 3 days with Tommy it cost me $1200 in 1993 dollars (adjust the instruction cost for inflation at 3%, you get $1869 for three days...5 days would cost you in todays dollars, $3115) The content of this video is much greater that when I went to see Tommy. I was an amatuer. The 5 or so attendees of this school seem to be connected to the golfing business. I didn't listen to all of the introductions on DVD 1. But what I heard, some of them were golf professionals. It appears Tommy had 3 and 5 day schools. I bet it was 5 days for professionals wanting to become AI's.
Even if you never swing the club like Tommy taught....this video series is worth every cent. For instance, I didn't know component 20 Trigger Types (the 5 throws) are 5 ways to start the club down. Tommy used 10-20-C with Sally Little. When Sally won one of the LPGA majors, she was interviewed on TV and said Tommy was a major contributor to her success. In 1989, Tommy was still working with her.
