Up and Down with Magic

The right forearm motion is up and down per 7-3. Two thirds of the way down the 2nd paragraph...."The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the clubshaft must take throughout the Stroke (2-J-3)." During the fanning motion of the right forearm in the basic stroke.....the right forearm is actually going up, the pivot is creating a horizontal motion, especially the shoulders.

During my three school with Tomasello out on the driving range....he really emphasized the action of the right arm as being up and down.

See Tomasello's Letter #1 video.
