DG - you wrote-: "Trust me, Tommy started the downswing with the right arm when the hands are above shoulder high....the uncocking of the right elbow through the use of the right forearm. The Magic of the Right Forearm. Tommy throws the club down with the uncocking motion of the right elbow through the right forearm....Tommy did not in any way teach the full swing with the right shoulder starting the club down or with the lower body....total mis-interpretation."

Surely you are wrong to make this assertion with respect to swinging (not hitting) - considering the "evidence" from those 12 Tomasello DVDs that recently became available. Tom definitely states in those DVDs that if the hands are above shoulder level, that the hands have to drop to below shoulder height so that the arms can become connected to the body, and that the pivot action then actuates the downswing via a right shoulder downplane movement that simultaneously induces the left hip to clear. He definitely posits a causal relationship between the right shoulder downplane thrust movement and the left hip clearing action (rotation of the pelvis so that it squarely faces the target after impact).

Jeff.
