I have the 12 DVD series of TT giving a TGM class over 5 days. In that class he goes over the TGM curriculum. In that class, he definitely taught a pivot-driven swing as the primary approach to a full golf swing.
He may have changed his thinking in the last few years of his life, but that doesn't necessarily mean that his last/final thoughts about the golf swing came from HK.

I studied with Tommy personally in 1993 and on audio tape I have Tommy saying he wasn't selling his personal view/spin/opinon of TGM. In fact as he was teaching me the magic of the right forearm, cocking and uncocking the right elbow WHILE SWINGING, he mentioned Homer....that Homer said you couldn't practice that move too slowly. Hence, the 10-step sequence drill on the Australia video series. Hmmm, you can find that drill in Chapter 8. How about that...
Tommy taught that right arm swing to a lot of people...per the GI interview, he was given the opportunity to teach it to the whole golfing community.
