I understand the advice you gave at the end of the post, but I'm confused about using the "muscles of your right forearm (driving right forearm)". The muscles of the forearm can be used in moving the fingers, in bending or arching the wrist, and in cocking and uncocking the wrist. But, it's the triceps that straighten and the biceps that bend the arm. The muscle power is mainly triceps.
Ted,
What triggers the triceps into action...the right forearm. See 1-F. The study 7-3. Next watch both Tomasello video series...you will hear Tommy talk about using the right forearm...not once does he mention the driving the right triceps. Tommy always references the right forearm...in fact, The Magic of the Right Forearm.
See...7-3..."it is absolutely MANDATORY that, Hitting or Swinging, it is the Right Forearm--not just the Right Hand and/or clubshaft--that must be thrown, or driven, into Impact per 7-2-3." or later in that same paragraph..."Remember, the Actual Angle of Approach of the Clubhead is determined by Ball Position (2-N) so the Cross Line position of the Right Forearm is ONLY the On Plane Forearm Thrust per 1-L-9/10/11. Even with the Pitch Basic Stroke...".

I'm very familiar with all of the quotes as I have studied them until I was blue in the face. But staying on topic, I refer back to "the muscles of the right forearm" which was the question at hand. None of these muscles bend or straighten the right elbow, which in turn cocks and uncocks the left wrist. Do your "muscles of the right forearm" do such things? And, where are these words used in the book?

Ted,
See 6-B-2-0..."Centrifugal Force, Accummulator #1, the muscles of both forearms, any--or all--are available to actuate this assembly."
At two different times, I experimented with driving the right triceps...after several weeks of daily practice, I began to lose the sweet feeling lag. Once I went back to using the right forearm, the sweet feeling of lag returned. Almost like Magic. Hence, the name....The Magic of the Right Forearm. I wouldn't be surprised that Homer went through the same experiment.
Remember section 20 is a section of triggers (triggering the release action). 10-20-B Right Arm Throw trigger....Right Forearm trigger. Please review the Tomasello videos. In video chapter 2 (The Arms Chapter) from Australia, Tommy Tomasello talks about driving that right forearm to a long right arm.

If a hitter uses the "karate straight arm punch - heel of hand" as the image for his right hand thrust delivery function then it is a given that this procedure is one of bending and straightening of the right arm.
Bending is a job for the Biceps and straightening provides work for the Triceps.
The the workings of the forearm, independent of this bending and straightening process, are jobs for other departments.
I have been doing that..."down and out on the inclined plane." That is some seriously good stuff!
Great Comdpa,
Just a reminder from the letter series videos...Tommy said...start with the chips and pitches (with the right forearm) and slowly work it up to a full swing. Definitely use the chapter 12-5 basic motion, acquired motion, and Total Motion approach.
With some good practice time, the forearm muscles will strengthen and this version of swinging and/or hitting will become second nature.

I have tried and tried to swing and get the distance that I can get hitting and have not had any luck. I really believe in what Homer said, if quick swing, if strong hit. Each person's individual genetics and characteristics play the dominent role on what way a person will be able to swing the club with the most authority. I also have learned from experience that while it's nice to try to learn both, I think each person has a natural tendency. That first time you ever picked up a club did you push it or pull it... That's usually the answer to how you should play..
