Not really sure where to post this as there is no right arm swing emergency room (although that'd be nice!).

DG or Coophitter - do you consider maintenance of the flex in the trail kneee a big part of Tom's method? I've been struggling with pulls a bit recently, and have been thinking its either from cocking the right wrist, going out at the ball ('OUT AT THE BALL!') before I go down, or (most likely) an overactive body. Today, after some experimentation, I found a focus on right knee flex really helped me slow my body rotation and stay on my right side longer in the downswing - also good extension in follow through - straighter shots and better contact.

My tendency has always to get a bit standard knee actionish - a straigtening right knee in the backswing. Is a focus on more of an anchored right knee a good way to go for a Tomasello style swing?

Thanks,
Chris

Yes, the anchored right knee is important but it helps one from bobbing (3-F-7-C), not sure if it prevents one from hooking the ball. When I hook (not often) the ball, it's either from tense/fatigued left arm muscles or I'm concentrating too much down (from the top) and not down and out (see 1-L #13 and 14). Checkout Tomasello's number 2 video from the "Letter Series"...Tommy talks about making a down and out move from the top. I suggest watching all of the Tomasello videos and writing down all of the drills that Tommy demonstrates and incorporate them into your practice routine. They work!!!
