I have asked Lynn to reply regarding RAS release, but until then can we discuss other release procedures. There are many.

Tonight I reviewed the Tomasello-Dietrick tape in which Tommy discusses the move DG references. Interestingly, he never once calls it a Right Arm Swing. The essence of it is the Uncocking (Perpendicular Motion) of the Left Wrist, thereby preventing its Bending (Horizontal Motion). This is merely Lever Extension per 2-P.

Tommy does indeed talk about the move being Right Forearm motivated (from the Top) and views it as the antidote for Right Shoulder Turn Spin-Out. But, without his specific identification, it is impossible to determine if this is Right Arm Swing or merely the beginning of the Right Forearm's normal participation in either the Punch or Pitch Major Basic Strokes. Remember, the Right Forearm is the critical factor in each of the Major Basic Strokes, and it is under that Component (7-3) that the Magic of the Right Forearm is discussed. In fact, this is the term Tommy used to identify the move.

Also, Tommy's terminology (and demonstration) is somewhat suspect in that he several times refers to the Uncocking of the Right Wrist (as well as the Left). Lever Extension is a concept of fully Uncocking the Left Wrist, not the Right (which remains Level during Release as defined by the structure of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.

So, whether or not Tommy is actually discussing Right Arm Swing is debatable. Which is not a bad thing, so let's do it! I'll send the tape to Bagger, and we'll put it up as the lead post in a separate thread. Then, with the caveat that the discussion will be kept civil and non-personal...

Let the Games begin!
