Joe,

For some of the short shots in the video Tom uses a full sweep release where the emphasis is on manually releasing the right elbow at the beginning of the downstroke (for short shots), one could call that a bat type of stroke.

Yes, Tom pulled the club longitudinally with the right forearm in addition to the left forearm, emphasis on the right....if you go to the quiver demonstration in the 40 to 45 minute mark....Tom clearly demonstates the pulling action with the right arm....it's one smooth motion, the club is released by pivot action and the accelerating right arm goes to a long right arm...

What Tom taught was not a hitting action...it's a swinging action with right arm acceleration....two different animals. It's one smooth motion....not two. The right forearm accelerates the club down with an even rhythm....that's why the golfers who understand how works produce smooth golf swings, yet powerful golf swings.

Left Arm Swing is accelerating the Golf Club Longitudinally, i.e., lengthwise in the direction the butt end is pointing, with the Left Arm and usually with Body Momentum Transfer per 2-K.

Right Arm Swing is accelerating the Golf Club Longitudinally with the Right Arm -- always with neglible benefit from Body Momentum Transfer.

Neither can be the other.

Never ever.
So then my question is what exactly is the swing called where you start your Pivot down and manually fire the right arm down?
