I have tried right arm swinging and it is very powerful,
only problem I found was when it's not working well I tended to hit
a lot of hooks and pull hooks.
There are a lot of RASers. That's why I want to discuss it.
Toms pattern is one slice out of many RAS patterns, which is why it should be explored and understood.

would love to see the video and the topic of "RAS" discussed, expanded beyond TT interpretation and pattern. LBG has been incredibly helpful in helping me understand the right arm's role in swinging and to discover the differences between lag loading and drive loading so bring on the video! Hats off to TT and to Yoda for posting his videos but maybe it's time to do a closer reading of "RAS".
I am a left arm hitter by the way
just kidding
Many RAS patterns....please enlighten us. Can you reference your sources???
DG
As many as there are hitting patterns and left arm swinging patterns. Thousands? Hundreds of Thousands? Millions?
Actually, since RAS is a subcomponent of swinging, there is probably only tens of thousands of ways to do it. Just guessing.
Source is Homer Kelley and the 24 components with their associated variations through the 12 zones.
DG - I'm doing you a favor here. If you don't see it, you and the rest of the LBG membership may lose out on some good stuff.

Guys we need a ground swell of interest so Bagger can stop teasing us here. Come on lets get it started. Here is my first submission.
I asked Yoda a question once about my pre practice warm up regime in which amongst other things I hit short pitch shots with just my right arm.
It went something like this:
Me : "Im still swinging here though right?"
Yoda: "Yes"
Beyond that I asked not. All of this leads me to wonder about the possible existence of RAS putting. Although I have recently gone to using my feet to power my putting stroke having tried every other part of my body with mixed results.

Even though you were using only your Right Arm, you were Pulling the Club (lengthwise) through Impact. And when you do that -- with either the Right Arm or Left -- you are Swinging.
