First, I would suggest getting a copy of a webster's dictionary and lookup the word longitudinal....I believe websters captures the exact meaning of longitudinal that fits with the golf "SWING" and 10-19-C. Then I would re-read...10-19-C, 7-19, 10-3-K and especially 7-3 (Multlipe times, especially the last paragraph). You're getting closer to another ahhhh moment.....then watch the number 5 chapter series video on "Power" and the number 9 chapter series video on "hitting and swinging" and listen for the part where Tomasello says "One Smooth Motion".

At first I was really confused when I studied these video 3 months back.. I even asked the question.. since Tom said push push push .. is he hitting?

Until...
--------------------
6-H-0 Imperatives

C. Take all Strokes to the Both Arms Straight Position (8-11).

A HIT or swing... so in a way... the right elbow have to straighten thus both have the element of "push" , Active by force+extensor action. Passive by extensor action,+ Gravity..
-------------------
3-F-6. EXECUTION All quick, jerky and wobbly motions are improper executions. Neither the Hands nor the Club are flipped or swished around haphazardly. blah blah...the whole paragraph...

No matter its a HIT or a swing.. It have to look like a "swinging" ...
Then... I understood.

Hitting does not give anybody the permission to HIT or hack at the ball. 6-H-0 , 3F6...

Though,
This is right arm swinging , or pushing... this is to describe an action(7-3). And what you had explained. Everything is fine until...


from the bible of TGM... I think its different from the "Right Arm Swing" , which is a named method. described in 7-19, linked to 10-3-k. Changing the center of the clubhead orbit .. thus bad for the elbow... Different.. but have the same name ...

Correct me if I am wrong David or anyone ..
