For what its worth
Today I went to the range and hit 15 balls employing Tomasellos down-and-out motion. Results were good. The feel was quite different from my normal swing. I took it to the grounds.

On the first hole I hit a 300 yard drive (best ever on that hole), a SW to 8 feet and made the putt. Other than the putt I employed the down-and-out and thought I'd changed my game forever. (This was only the third time I've birdied this particular hole. It is not easy. And starting the round with a birdie is alwas great.

So. Did I go on to birdie every hole?

Nope.

Not even a PB

But I definietely saw benefit.

One of my issues have been excess lateral movement on the downswing. Employing the down-and-out virtually eliminated it. Worked great as a key for me.

Thanks for sharing, Lee!
