HI guys,
I have been studying Tom's video's for a while, (particuarly chapters 1 & 2 ),and now and I'm taking his teachings to the range. I seem to be hitting the long irons and woods fine usually, with a tad of a draw at times, but my short irons are push's or a slight fade at the end. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this ? The short irons are being hit dead center of clubface if that helps. This man's video's should be required viewing ! I'm just hoping I can take it to the course cause I know the answer to those pushes are in video or someone here has it.

If you are a TRUE SWINGER, you may just have the ball TOO FAR BACK in your stance with the short irons. Move the ball UP, until they straighten out.
If you are NOT a TRUE SWINGER, like many/most people, this could still help. Also, check your HINGE ACTION,AND THE FOLLOWING SWIVEL. If you are unintentionally getting ANGLED HINGING, YOU WILL MOST LIKELY FADE.
Of course, an unintended BENT PLANE LINE(aimed TOO right) can cause all kinds of problems, so check for this.
Hi, I'm new here and have a couple of questions. I have watched the Tomasello videos that are downloadable on this site and on the Croker website. Are these the same ones you're talking about or are there others? I really enjoy watching this guy. He's deceased now, is that correct? Really too bad if so. Secondly, since I'm new to all of this, not golf, but TGM, would it be wise to buy the TGM book or should I wait awhile. I've heard it can be a difficult read for non technical dummies like me. Thanks alot.

This site has two sets of Tomasello videos. I believe DG (Delaware Golf) provided the set that was shot in Australia.
The other set shot at Tomasello's facility was provided by Lee Dietrick.
Ed's correct...Tommy gave me the video from Australia in October of 1993. The video was shot in Australia in 1989. The video from the "Letter" series was shot at Tommy's Myrtle Beach studio 14 years ago.
Tommy's big thing was using right arm acceleration for both hitting and swinging...
Tommy passed away some time in the mid-90's, I don't know the exact date.

I was wondering what some of the senior members had to say about Tommy stating that hitting is less powerful and results in more fades, he said Trevino went to more of a swing and increased his distance.
I also find it strange that Tommy called what he taught a pull type movement vs a push, but his videos are all over Peter Croker's website and Croker definately teaches a pushing method.
youre right, I saw that vid clip of him hitting a PW incredibly far. Birdie_man, have your tried both swinging and hitting?
I know everyones different, but Ive toyed with hitting and just crushed some balls, right on the screws, would go out and try it the next day and couldnt hit squat.
