"....once you have set the flat left wrist and the bent-back wrist at address,
I don't see Tomasello using a Hitter's address position in his set-up. I do see a very Joe Dante early wrist set in the beginning of the stroke. Is this what he meant in the above quote? I agree with TT that the hands and wrists doing little in the way of movement once the wedges are set. The “Dante” movement of the hands though runs counter to the right forearm take away which Homer does refer to in my audio lesson as a right forearm pickup. Talking about the clubhead and ball Homer states that you pick it (clubhead) up and pick it (ball) off the ground.
Instead of this “Dante” move, I feel the forearm action at take-away is a reverse #3pp extensor action with the fanning motion of the forearm, not just the clubhead. The wedges may be set or setting as the right elbow bends and cocks the left wrist in a vertical plane.
For the record, the Tom Tomasello series was very enjoyable but not the last word in the golf stroke. TT did not benefit from a longer incubation period that we and TGM are experiencing today. I am so glad to have seen the clips. Thank you DG.
