Jeff,

Look at the pics I did last year...they may not be "pure" TGM but they should allow you to experience the differences that are being described....it work best if you make a definite effort to go to "end" when swinging (so that you feel the force is "behind"you...and go to right shoulder high and minimum left wrist cock when doing the hitting (so that you can push it)... remember that the book is about forces - and you just have to experience them....the book provides lots of descriptions....

So look at the pictures I did...imagine that you have not read any of the golf books or web forum stuff that you have digested .

If someone said to you push (as in the hitter) against the elastic bungee in a straight line towards the ball...in such a way that your head stays pretty steady and you are in balance....push so that you feel almost all your effort is in your right triceps...

Try it in a variety of ways until you have found what feels to you to be the most mechanically sound way to push...THEN look at your right forearm and elbow position....it will be in a semi "flying elbow" position...with the force applied to the aft part of the shaft... then read the 7-3 bit again...

Now do the same with the swingers photo...forget about golf...just ask your body to pull the force which is on the top side of the shaft...using your lower body to feel and initiate the pull... NOW look at your right elbow...it is in different position to the hitter because it is mechanically more advantageous when pulling to do it that way...

If you get that bit then you are there....you identify different right elbow and forearm positions at loading....so to arrive at that position you should have a backswing that is heading in that specific direction...and a downswing right forearm that continues to maximise the mechanics....the swinger readily goes to pitch and the hitter readily goes to punch elbow position.... all of those positions/alignments are there as a consequence of lag loading and efficiency.

Good luck.
