There's a bit of mistaken identity here, Weightshift.

Lee Dietrick (ldeit) supplied the Tomasello Video Letter Series.

Delaware Golf supplied its predecessor, the Tomasello in Australia Series.

Thanks. Yes, he appears a lot older in the Video Letter series -- and in the other series I seem to remember him saying "..here in Australia.." at one point. Such a pity that he is no longer with us, I would have loved to have met him.

<B>jim_0068</B> has provided "<i>paddle wheel motion is a slow consistant closing motion from the end of your backswing to impact usually used with hitters. It's closing and un-cocking at the same time at a steady speed all the way downplane. Swingers t[d]o the opposite, it's a sequenced release meaning they first un-cock and then roll into impact</i>"

Having, yourself, closely worked with Homer Kelley, do you have any "inside knowledge" as to why a paddle wheel was chosen? Feathering or partly feathering the blades of a paddle wheel, while the wheel is rotating at a constant speed, could be used to control the speed of the vessel. Frankly, I don't see the connection to the golf swing.
