The 2 thing's I'm struggling with is Tom say's to throw the club from the top while keeping the right hip back. But he says in one video you MUST keep the left hip turning thru the whole downswing....well it's hard to keep the right hip still while your turning the left. Can someone lift the fog on this. The second thing is he puts his left hand in a kocked posistion for pitch shots on the video,did he also set them this way for full shots ?

The recommendation on keeping the right hip still is a drill. Tommy is getting Lee to feel the Magic of the Right Forearm in that piece of the video...for the advanced player of Tommy's approach, one knows that recommendation is really a drill to a get a feel for the right forearm starting the downswing instead of the lower body starting the downswing...the hips and shoulders will respond to the action of the right forearm.
Tommy used a standard overlapping grip for his full swing and the rest of his shots...the grip (in his left hand) that Tommy takes with the club for chip shots in the "letter series" video is another drill...to get a feel for the flat left wrist.
