Anyway, for me, Jim Surber 14 years ago was a most loyal and affable friend, whom I regrettably can't locate, who nevertheless took me from a 3 handicap to an 8 - while Tomasello - an irascible motormouth, took me to scratch or better 12 years ago once I opened my mind to his contradictions. I became a right arm swinger or hitter whose lineage, in my opinion, dates back to the great Harry Vardon and has survived and thrived through the study and applied work of Tommy Armour, Joe Norwood, John Jacobs, and sometimes Butch Harmon, Hank Haney, David Leadbetter, and many other instructors who often, in desperation, tell desperate golfers to go ahead and hold the club firmly with particular left hand fingers as well as particular right hand fingers and then figure out how to swing through or bash through the ball with the right arm. In all strokes from drive to putt, hold with the left and swing or bash through with the right, and if you can master and monitor preselected horizontal, angled, or vertical hinge action, the ball will often come very close to obeying your computer's intended ball flight.
Wow tremendous experience, thanks...I look forward to learning from you.
