On Plane with Two Force Vectors

Thought is was interesting how words in a different order could make such a great difference. Kinda fun.
Per the Magic of the Right Forearm......7-3....Futhermore, in compliance with 6-B-3-0-1, Bending and Straightening the Right Elbow will RAISE AND LOWER the Left Arm and/or COCK AND UNCOCK the Left Wrist with Bending, Flattening or Cocking the Right Wrist. Practice this first at Impact Fix.

Tomasello interview......Golf Illustrated July 1991.

Tomasello: Here we get into the terminology that scares people. You swing the club via two "divergent force vectors". This simply means that two different forces are being combined. One force is moving the club upward and downward. A second force is moving the club outward, away from you.

The upward and downward force is provided by a straight-up folding and unfolding of the right forearm from its address position. You simply fold your right arm at the elbow to swing the club up. From there, you try to throw the clubhead into the ground by unfolding your right arm. The outward or horizontal force force comes from the pivoting of the hips to the right rear on the backswing and the left rear on the downswing. This horizontal force throws the clubhead out away from you, on a horizontal plane.

On the downswing, when you combine these two "divergent force vectors," the result is the movement of the club on the correct plane.

When I followed Homer and Tom Tomasello's recommendations to a T....I got extensor action for free. Then you begin to understand the Magic of the Right Forearm...if you haven't already. Zach Johnson does.

Also, when executing the Magic of the Right Forearm.....keep your mind in your hands and keep your hands on the Straight Line Delivery Path.....10-23-A for Hitting and 10-23-C for Swinging. Then monitor your right hip per 12-3-0-24. Execute this few concepts correctly and you're on your way to a very consistent backstroke and a full swing or hitting procedure. I guarantee it.
