Tomasello
The Tomasello procedure that I remember him using most was...

1) Fairly narrow stance
2) Strong Single Action Grip
3) Used Horizontal or Angled Hinging... the way he explained this was very simple-- Horizontal- toe up to toe up // Angled- one way he liked to get this was to take it back with the face looking at the ball a little longer(no Turn). This made it pretty easy to get a little reverse rotation through the ball, resulting in a little fade.// Vertical- toe up to face up(bunker shots)
4) Right Forearm Pickup (He wanted you to Clear the right hip before cocking up)
5) Start Down(from TOP)-- He used several different ways of doing this, but the one I think he liked a lot was to (PULL) STRAIGHT DOWN. You could do this with the muscles of the right arm, left arm, or both. (Longitudinal Acceleration) Make no effort to go FORWARD! DOWN, THEN IT WILL SWITCH ENDS when it is ready.
6) End up with that MACHINE FINISH... Watching the ball fly from underneath(eyes not level), and have a "little kink in that right wrist."

This is a brief explanation. I realize some of his methods were a little different, but they did work. He simplified a very complicated book, and brought many people to TGM that probably would have given up on it otherwise. He made it FUN, also.

He taught other procedures also, but this is the procedure I remember most.
