DG,

Tomasello was know as the "Billy Graham" of TGM. His enthusiasm and passion for TGM and his desire to learn and teach created an amicable bond between he and Mr. Kelley. Also, he was one of the "Keepers of the Light" during the dark years after Homer's death.

The comment regarding Hitting were his, not mine. He also added during the presentation, that as Hitters get older they will lose distance, develop back problems, their Hips will hurt and they will have all kinds of disc disorders, if they persist in Hitting. Everyone should be a Swinger like Sam Snead. I am sure these comments took Mr. Kelley by surprise, but we will never know.

Drew,

With your last two posts you may be helping me to put the pieces together...you're totally making sense in this last post. Why would Tommy say the Hitter would develop back problems....per 2-M-4 where Homer says in the second to last sentence...."Or, as supplying the initial acceleration of the Hitter's loaded Power Package so the Clubhead can be endowed with Pivot Speed PLUS Right Triceps Speed."

My arguement now is......for swinging the downstroke should be started with the 10-20 triggers per 10-19-C (longitudinal acceleration....one smooth motion) as described Tom Tomasello on the 12 DVD set. Hitting should be started with the lower body per the sentence from the 2-M-4 while using 10-20-B.....I believe that's what Tommy is saying...you're going to have back problems in time (a lower body starting the downswing puts a lot of stress on the lower back). If you checkout the Ben Hogan vs Sam Snead Wonderful World of Golf Match....both golfers describe how they swing a golf club. Check out Sam I believe he's using 10-20-E as described by Tommy on the 12 DVD set. As Tommy says in the Australia video series....once the hands get above shoulder high, you must start down with the arms....you must connect before activating the hips. Starting to make real sense now....with Hitting the hands shouldn't get above shoulder height...

So it makes sense why Tommy would recommend swinging like Sam Snead instead of Hogan.

For Swinging....
........10-20-C by itself would utilize a passive right arm.
........10-20-D by itself would utilize a passive right arm.
........10-20-E by itself would utilize a passive right arm .
........10-20-B by itself would be the right arm swing per the letter series of videos
........10-20-D combined with 10-20-B muscles of both forearms would give the swinging stroke from the Australia (Chapter series of videos).

With hitting you could really start the club down with the right forearm or the lower body per 10-20-B and 2-M-4.

Add comments to this post: I just watched the Ben Hogan and Sam Snead instruction at the end of (Shell's Wonderful World of Golf)....Sam Snead definitely looks like the swing model for the swinging procedure from the 7th edition to a T(ee). As the credits roll by at the end of the program, the viewer is left with Hogan and Snead hitting one more iron shot....Hogan's stroke looks like the hitting stoke per 12-1-0 and Snead's stroke looks like the model for 12-2-0...this is definitely a video to have in your collection.
