A complete paragraph has been deleted........

"The center of the Clubhead orbit is readily transferred from the Left Shoulder to the Right Elbow. The Right Arm now is actually driving the Clubhead rather than the Left Arm and the Flat Left Wrist is now helpful but not essential � so the only tipoff to its use is the the ability to hit hard with a slightly Bent Left Wrist at Impact and/or throwing the Club in-line with the Right Arm during the Follow-through (4-D, 7-19)."

I don't think Homer would advise the right arm swing . . . he made another comment regarding bending the Left Wrist. He said you could do it . . . BUT the wrist had to start bending SOMEWHERE and SOMETIME. So where and when and can you do that everytime? Would your alignments be irratic? He actually said that you could pick up speed . . . BUT had to pay the consequences.

Forget Swinging the Right Arm Drive it with muskel powers or CF powers.

P.238 7th Edition.

HITTING AND SWINGING

Golf - Accelerating the Club radially with Right Arm Thrust is Hitting. Accelerating the Club Longitudinally, with either Arm, is Swinging.

P. 3 7th Edition

Second Paragraph.
This, alone, does not properly seperate "Hitters" and "Swingers" because it is possible to "Swing" the Club with either Arm but only the Right Arm can actually "Hit".

However, you will save yourself much anguish by using the Right Hand just for sensing and controlling acceleration and the Left Hand just for sensing and controlling alignments.

My downswing is simply a TT straightening of the right elbow on plane which has given me a decent distance and a draw ball flight with my 3 wood . However TT�s first backstroke move, i.e. rotation of the left forearm frequently makes me come off plane with the right forearm. Hence I prefer a backstroke with the clubhead describing a smooth semicircular inward-backward movement. Is that backstroke compatible with the TT swing?

For the truth on how Tom Tomasello taught the backswing. Read the July 1991 issue of Golf Illustrated or read section 7-3 in TGM, especially the last paragraph of 7-3. The 10 sequence drill that Tommy demonstrates on the Australia video is just that a drill. What does the first move in the 10 sequence drill demonstrate.....the left wrist turns and cocks and the right wrist bends back instead of cocking....a swinging procedure condition.

Trust me, the drill is not faulty. I stood on the first tee of the LPGA Championship approximately 10 years ago and watched Annika Sorenstam do a similiar drill with the exact same first move as Tomasello. She did it multiple times before teeing off with her regular swing. That first move is to help those who have cocked their right wrist in the past get the feel of the correct wrist condition immediately (or for the new golfer, the correct feel of the wrists right from the beginning). It's a feel drill. I studied with Tomasello and I don't use that first move in the drill in my regular swing, I use the motion described in the last paragraph of 7-3 and ALLOW the left wrist to turn as a result of the shoulders turning.

You must seperate the drills from the REAL THING. That's one of reasons to watch the videos mulitple times. Eventually it will sink in....the difference between drills and the real THING. I believe Tommy's arguement for that first move in the drill is......it's much easier to get the FEEL of the correct condition of the left and right wrist right in front of you rather than later in the swing (especially during the slow motion 10 step sequence drill). Then it's much easier to transfer the correct feel to your REGULAR/NORMAL swing as your understanding, skill and feel become stronger.
