Until Boeing opens a bio-mechanics lab, these things will be left to us to decipher.

Firstly, I think I've seen you use this Whipcracking reference in other posts. If you want to continue using the reference, I think you should use the words that follow in parentheses and refer to the Whipcracking as DRAG LOADING as Homer did. Seemingly, this would be an important, but convenient, thing to leave out.

Secondly, you get so hung up on what Tommy said, so I'm going to get hung up on a little bit of Homer.

6-B-2-0....It’s the true Velocity Accumulator because of the shortness of its travel time (during a Maximum Delay Release). Centrifugal Force, Accumulator #1, the muscles of both forearms, any – or all – are available to actuate this Assembly.

It seems that the release was Delayed, and how did it get to release? Yes, the Pivot. THEN the muscles of both forearms could actuate the Assembly.

6-B-4-A MAXIMUM POWER is obtained by using maximum On Plane Shoulder Turn Thrust against Pressure Point #4 per 7-19, and maximum Swing Radius (6-B-0).

Homer must have forgotten to include those Magical Forearms in the above passage. Maybe it will be in the 8th edition.

6-K-0 PIVOT STROKE DELIVERY In a “Pivot Stroke” the Power Package is held in a fixed relationship with the Body Turn and no independent Arm motion occurs until – or unless – the requirements of the selected Pivot are met. Then Arm Motion, independently or not, Continues Delivery per 10-19 until the selected Trigger occurs (10-20).

6-M-1 DOWNSTROKE SEQUENCE The Downstroke sequence of the Stroke Components is dictated essentially by Centrifugal Force; "Overtaking" by a Lagging Component ends at the instant it achieves an “In-Line” position with its immediately preceding Component.

Centers and Accumulators can be sequenced, overlapped, omitted, emphasized, triggered, and timed as the players understanding and skill permit. But the Club’s Swing Radius (6-B-0) ends at the “non-lagging” Component nearest to the Clubhead. The “Centers” of the Stroke start with the Feet or the employed Component nearest to the feet in the following order: Knees, Hips, Shoulders, arms, Right Elbow, Left Wristcock and/or Left Hand Rotation. For maximum Power, the position of must be taken that will allow Delay of the Release until all Components, except the Right Foot and Right Shoulder, have reached, or passed the Line-of-Site-to-the-Ball per 6-B-1-C. Then the Accumulators must move very rapidly toward their “In-Line” Position. But none should actually arrive (lose all their Lag and Drag until well after Impact. Also see 6-H-0.

Power Accumulators Release sequence is #4, #1, #2, #3 – regardless of which ones are being employed. Any Accumulator number may overlap or replace its preceding number but cannot precede it. Increase Overlap to increase THRUST – decrease Overlap to increase Velocity.

So, it seems that #2 cannot precede #4. Although we could contact TGM, LLC and have them strike 6-K-0 and 6-M-1 from the book and replace it with what Tommy said.

Lastly, I have friends in high places that would LOVE to get your TT forearm stroke on 3-D motion analysis to see the speed that's produced. And, we can make that happen.

Tommy failed to connect the dots on this subject and we have to accept that and move on...

Ted,

Ask Lynn to make you a copy of the new Tomasello DVDs, go through them two or three times....then we'll talk. Just quoting passages from the book...for me it's not enough. Listen to Tommy talk about TGM...this new set of DVDs has Tommy in rare form (pro to pro level instead of pro to amatuer student level). With somebody at your level of understanding of TGM it's definitely worth watching. Trust me...Tommy had it down and then some....I don't know anybody who was in more contact with Homer than Tommy (especially at the end)....maybe Ben Doyle....maybe some local pros who lived near Homer. But, I don't know anyone who had the TGM school concept together like Tommy....no one.

Sure you can tape my swing....it will have to be in late June or July at the earliest. I'm preparing for a CFA exam (Chartered Financial Analyst) (no time for golf)....ask Lynn, he knows about the CFA, it's like preparing for Tour school, maybe worse!!!

Ted....in some of your comments above....I know you don't understand what Tommy taught...I think it's because you don't have a full handle on swinging. That's ok....please get a copy of the Tomasello DVDs...you will definitely benefit from it. Tommy was in a different league than most instructors...these videos demonstrate it.
