Thanks for your expertise Coop. I'm working daily on my right arm swing (or whatever it is!) at the moment, and it is feeling very good. I love the simplicity of this move. For me the hard part is learning not-to-do with the body. I'm pretty much self-taught and my first training manual was Swing Like a Pro - slide and turn the hips to initiate the downswing. This really didn't work for me and now I have to really work on stopping crazy hip and shoulder actions in my downswing! One of the(many) things I like about the Tomasello motion, is you seem to hit pretty good body positions even though its all reactive to the right arm movement.

This is instructive for me. Instinctively the right arm motion on longer shots at least, seems to want to start from the right shoulder, followed pretty quickly by an unbending of the right elbow (but this moevement can be quite passive). Its good to know this is OK.
