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).

Tommy taught the downswing motion in various ways, the most used downswing approach by Tommy for swinging was through the right forearm and uncocking the right elbow from the top. I have 8 hours of audio instruction from Tommy (in his studio and on the driving range) to prove it. Also, checkout the instruction of top golf instructor Mark Evershed. Tommy taught swinging with 10-20-B (right forearm trigger), 10-20-C (shoulder turn trigger) and 10-20-D (both forearms trigger).
