(1) That with reference to the right arm throw, the book only says "usually restricted to hitting".

(2) That while TT may be using a right arm throw (it certainly seems that way from the Myrtle Beach video), it would be in combination with a wrist throw (keeping the right palm on the plane to insure a sequenced release).

(3) That somewhere in the early chapters Homer talks about how even if the right arm powers the stroke, it is still a left arm stroke because the stroke is still around the left shoulder centre. This would seem to me to be the case with the TT stroke. While it is right arm powered (and possibly a drag loading procedure, I'm still not sure its not a hit with a sequenced release), the left shoulder remains the centre of the stoke. So, it's not a 'pure' right arm swing, where the right elbow is the centre of the stroke. Nonetheless, it might be a right arm powered swing.

If you read Tomasello's Golf Illustrated interview he talks about ....Levering and UnLevering the Right Elbow...he seemed to be focused on the right elbow...I have Tomasello on cassette tape (from my lessons with Tommy) saying the application of power (or applying power) comes from Levering (cocking) and Unlevering (uncocking) the right elbow not from the lower body...

Whoa....

Accumulator #1 and #4 practically go together in a full swing. Concentrating on that does not inherently imply right arm swinging. Its more where the center of the stroke is.
