What he does leave us with, is a wonderful swinging motion completely subserviant to centrifugal force. The full lever extension,sequenced release, left wrist going from cocked, to level, to uncocked, and the right wrist going from level to uncocked are textbook. The Law of the Flail, rhythm, definition of keeping the club on plane, the Flying Wedges, the three imperatives are ALL here! Pay heed all of you swingers! Thanks Tom for all of your enthusiasm, devotion, and your wonderfully infectious manner.

E,
Nice post. Question . . . I know that the Right Wrist Cocking in the Backswing is no no. Does the Right Wrist Uncock on the downswing? Is that the Volley Ball image thing you showed me?
Tried the Tomasello motion on the course the other day. Unlike Metallion I didn't hit any 300 yard drives (what I wouldn't give for that!) - but I did shoot a personal best 76 (par 70 course) - previous best was 79! This after only two short sessions with an 8 iron giving the Tomasello motion a try. And on the back 9 (after getting a bit more used to the motion) I shot a 1 over 36. Missed a two foot birdie putt on the last hole for an even par nine(misread the break - there was none!!! )
I'm starting to think Delaware Golf might be right - there might be something to this!

Indeed there is, Chris. It is called:
Hand Controlled Pivot (5-0).
People simply cannot believe how little Body Motion is required for the Power Package -- the Hands, Arms and Club -- to do its job.
However...
What Pivot Motion there is must be performed correctly -- Feet, Knees, Hips and Shoulders all in sync beneath a Stationary Head -- and totally in response to the alignment demands of the Hands.
...@the back end of Deertrack just before moving back up north, when Tom came out in a cart. He was not doing well physically; he was very bloated from medication, and had the shakes. Anyway, Kevin had just put an arthritic grip on his 5 wood, and he wanted to see if it helped him hold the club better. Anyway, he dropped a ball on the ground, and with his arms trembling, he took a swing with his 5 wood...and hit the most beautiful 200 yard little draw you've ever seen. I will NEVER forget that shot- what it looked like. He chuckled a little and then watched me hit some more shots. That was the last time I saw him, and he passed away about 6 or 7 months later. I can't begin to describe to you how much I miss him.
Good to read the positive feedback/responses about what Tommy taught and his talent for executing great golf shots...after 12 years around the material, it's been a blast for the last year and half revisiting what Tommy taught and seeing what it has done for my game...
Thanks again Yoda and team for putting up the Tomasello videos...it's a great collection of instruction.
I've noticed it's getting rave reviews on other forums as well. Folks coming in to this site to visit Tommy.
Nice to have his memory and teachings live on...

Great to hear that Bagger,
I'm glad it's bringing golfers to Lynn's site...excellent. It makes everyone's effort involved worth it.

Great videos. If I'm not mistaken, even if you don't decide to use the conscious right fore-arm swing motion on the downswing, this sequence of motions still shows the correct movement of the human body in time and space for the pure CF swing.

Of course, I'm quite often mistaken.
Tarkus,
No, you're not mistaken...the swinger using the right forearm swing motion can learn from the lower body swinger just as the lower body swinger can learn from the right arm accelerated swinger...
In fact, in learning to use the right arm motion at it's optimal...first, Tommy had the golfer trigger the startdown with the right forearm but would have the golfer pivot thrust to complete the swing (focusing on the left hip)...all golfers need to learn/feel a correct pivot motion...to add power to the stroke, Tommy used the uncocking of the right elbow from the top triggered by the right forearm...now, with the trained pivot, the body just responds to the action of the right forearm....THE MAGIC OF THE RIGHT FOREARM.
