The ten step sequence is a training aid....during a normal speed swing, Tomasello will use a right forearm takeaway while using full sweep loading, which means, as Tommy moves away from the ball he will be cocking his right elbow....with steady Rhythm....and will he produce the same delivery line and move the hands along the same delivery path "Top Arc and Straight Line" as the ten step drill....

Excellent point, Dave. Hence, the chapter's title: Drills.
