You know it's a darn shame that most of the posts on this site have turned into a comedy routine....and I do mean routine.
For those of you that want to learn what Tom Tomasello taught....there is plenty of video to prove what I have discussed on this thread. It's no joke...
Oh....a good place to start learning is with Tommy's GI interview... contact me if you need/want a copy.
Yes, it's a shame we have to go 18 pages and not learn a thing...especially when Tommy ended his interview with the comment...."...the learning is never ending." 7/1991.

Oh, heck, DG, admit it . . .
There's been a lot written and a lot learned in this thread. Thanks for putting it up!
I personally spent four hours today -- my longest practice session in I can't remember when -- experimenting with various Accumulator Combinations (10-4); Pressure Point Combinations (10-11) and Grip Pressures (7-1); Throws (10-20); and Releases (10-24); all within the context of the various Stroke Patterns (Hitting and Swinging) from the first six editions of The Golfing Machine; not to mention the written record of the thoughts and recommendations of the golfing greats of decades and centuries gone by.
It was a great day, and I'm certain it would not have unfolded as it did without this thread and your inspiration, passion and dedication.

Stay true to your school.
And have fun doing it.
Vive la difference!
Excellent Lynn....
Very cool...
In the End....this thread was not set-up to DIVIDE the TGM community....I had wished it would bring it together. There are two many great minds on this site to let Tommy's work disappear...I believe we have a lot to learn from his approximately 20 years with the POWERFUL text The Golfing Machine (I actually don't know the year of Tom's passing).
Thanks for that post Lynn...I'm glad you had an enjoyable practice session.

DG,
There are a couple of websites where the information are based on the respective owners work/experience with TGM.
Why don´t you start an own website dedicated to Tommys work?
I am pretty sure that you would have many members and great success.
And DG, this is meant in peace.

Am I missing something? Even as an aging gentleman TT had a beautiful pivot. When he talks about "the right shoulder goes straight down", doesn't everybody see his hips sliding and rotating? Where's the big controversy. Watch the video. There is zero video evidence that he extended (lost the angle at the right elbow) at the top of his swing. Surely DG is not suggesting that the downswing starts with extending the right elbow, is he?
By the way DG, no slight whatsover just honest inspection, what is your handicap? You seem devoted to a "method". I'm just kind of wondering how it's working for you. If you don't keep a handicap, what are your last several scores?
