For some of the short shots in the video Tom uses a full sweep release where the emphasis is on manually releasing the right elbow at the beginning of the downstroke (for short shots), one could call that a bat type of stroke.
Yes, Tom pulled the club longitudinally with the right forearm in addition to the left forearm, emphasis on the right....if you go to the quiver demonstration in the 40 to 45 minute mark....Tom clearly demonstates the pulling action with the right arm....it's one smooth motion, the club is released by pivot action and the accelerating right arm goes to a long right arm...
What Tom taught was not a hitting action...it's a swinging action with right arm acceleration....two different animals. It's one smooth motion....not two. The right forearm accelerates the club down with an even rhythm....that's why the golfers who understand how works produce smooth golf swings, yet powerful golf swings.
I'm the one that called the Tom Tomasello procedure/approach a right arm swing....what Tom called it was "THE SWINGING PROCEDURE"...which utilzed RIGHT ARM (FOREARM) ACCELERATION per 10-3-B, -D, and -K it used each of those section 3 components.....a right forearm underhand pitch stroke (10-3-B), right forearm pulling action (10-3-D) and right forearm acceleration (10-3-K).
So, the "Right Arm Swing" is a Non-automatic release 4 barrel stroke per 10-3-B, -D, -K and 7-19/1-F.
So, the "Right Arm Swing" is a 4 barrel left arm stroke per 10-3-B, -D, -K and 7-19/1-F.
Left Arm Swing is accelerating the Golf Club Longitudinally, i.e., lengthwise in the direction the butt end is pointing, with the Left Arm and usually with Body Momentum Transfer per 2-K.
Right Arm Swing is accelerating the Golf Club Longitudinally with the Right Arm -- always with neglible benefit from Body Momentum Transfer.
Where does it say that in the book....that might apply to drive loading (axe handle, radial acceleration) and lag loading (rope handle, longitudinal acceleration). With the right arm swing we're not mixing the two, it's all rope handle...
I got to believe Tomasello discussed the right arm swing with Homer...Tommy contacted Homer around 1980...by the mid-80's he was teaching this procedure to PGA pros and teaching professionals, he must have started teaching it before that...it's a shame we don't have a record of it.
