Tommy Tomasello -- The Downstroke Motion

[MizunoJoe]

What many of you are missing is that Tommy is trying to show what REALLY happens and what the "FEEL" may be from HIS VIEW.

Watch the video again and he says it should "feel" "this way" but on "video it will be this way."

He's teaching TGM at its finest!

He's showing you the mechanics, then he's trying to show you the feel, then he demonstrates it.

Sometimes things aren't always spelled out for you, you have to read between the lines a little

OK, so when does he tell us what to REALLY DO in order to produce what REALLY happens?

Now that's funny...

So what he stated and demonstrated, certainly appears to be a Swinging Motion. For some reason with all the discussion I expected to see this hitting motion, but it is not.

Thanks for the tape. It was interesting.

OK, I didn't get this part. What does he mean by "swing the clubhead in front of the left side?"

He says that, but that's not what he's doing - he's moving the entire club past the left hip, not just the clubhead. But the problem is that he's doing it by moving his entire left arm away from his body with arm effort.

"A.J. Tomasello is one of the very few who have been able to break down this intimidating array of physical laws into a few basic movements that, far from being impossible, can leave a student asking "Can the golf swing really be this simple?"....

Is there a part three?

Is there a part three?

Chapter 3 is in the Gallery.
Lee sent a swing video to Tom after receiving Tom's instruction. What follows is more dialog specific to what Tom saw in the video and more personal instruction.
Lee, jump in and fill in the gaps if you wish.

Interesting in part 3, he specifically states that you do not cock/uncock the right wrist. Different from what it looks like he's doing.
