I was not trying to answer your question. I have asked about that very point several times and just got the "read this, watch that."

I did have a few points:

If the stroke is a 3 Barrel Hit pattern then Momentum Transfer is not used. A CF swinger would. They will need a start down that is from the bottom up- a linear pulling on the shaft. TT’s stroke does not need a pulling action to generate throw-out. The arm CAN start the stroke and the body responses, althought I agree that some weight shift from Hula Hula is needed. This has not been clearly explained that different physics propel the club and that this way is the only right way.

Years ago, this was called a Right Arm Swing by dg before he called it the Magic of the Right Forearm. When it was the Right Arm swing, it was claimed that almost every Tour player, Ernie Els for one, was a right Arm Swinger because they used Harvey Penick’s Magic Move. Penick’s MM was a coordinated move of the arms/hands and the hip bump. Both moved at the same time.

I agree that the body responses to the Hands or to 7-3, if you like, but the response can be trained. It does not mean the 7-3 actively needs to ‘push start' the hip action. The stock answer to me has always been the any hip motion, lateral bump BEFORE the action of the right forearm is incorrect. The gear train starts from the body up. Hula Hula allows for independent motion. Hula Hula is not a mere slide. If anyone thinks that, the concept is lost on them.

Last point is that that 7-3 is NOT a procedure but a component that ALL Strokes NEED. The Magic of 7-3 goes beyond moving the left arm (which not inactive- but that’s another issue later), it controls and powers all strokes on an incline plane.

Okay, this is the last point, TT is not wrong. I love the motion. But some of the analysis by others about his stroke missed the mark.
