I must admit, the more I get into Tom's procedures, the less I really care whether it's a right arm swing or not - more just whether it works!!!

That said, I wonder if the action involved in a non-automatic release for swingers is relevant here. Usually, this is presented in terms of a deliberate effort to begin to release accumulator #2 (wrist cock), for example in Yoda's classic post on the three stage rocket (drag load, uncock the left wrist, roll). But if the folded right elbow (with its level right wrist) causes the left wrist to cock, could not this non-automatic (or deliberate) uncocking of the left wrist be turned over to the deliberate unfolding of the right elbow? Similarly, any cocking of the left wrist on the backswing is analogous with folding the right elbow. In a nutshell, the right forearm cocks and uncocks, the pivot turns...

That's pretty much how I'm experiencing Tom's swing at the moment. Right arm swing - maybe not (I am 99.9% sure that the right elbow is not the low point in Tom's swing); right arm, or forearm controlled swing - very likely. Lag pressure - absolutely!
