Interesting that you bumped into him today....

Annikan...I've got something better...why don't we listen to the MAN himself..

Direct quotes from Tomasello...In Tommy's studio (Deer Track Golf Resort).

The conversation is between DG and Tomasello exactly 12 years...

Tomasello:....for a chip shot it's the forearm (right forearm), then we get to the Pitch shots it's still the right forearm, and then we get a little further back (Full Swing), the right forearm going up pulls the shoulders, the shoulders pull the hips...Now when we reverse that right... (Tomasello demonstrates the forward swing) bang!!! So the forward golf swing is merely a reversal---IN ORDER(Tomasello raises the tone of his voice)...in order see...(right forearm start down)...Alright, now what was the first move when going backward....the forearm.

DG: The Right Forearm

Tomasello: The forearm, the forearm...Now the forearm pulls the shoulders that pulls the hips....

DG: That's your delayed hip action.

Tomasello: You got it....
