The Right Triceps Thrust And Messenger From Heaven

[Yoda]

Yoda, So, what I have on video tape of Tom Tomasello is wrong! Right Forearm thrust is wrong, Tom makes no mention of right tricep thrust! Isn't that something. Yoda, you and your buddy Mr. Tomasello must not have played together for a long, long, long time. Yoda, Why don't you post the interview with Homer so we can all see it and see for ourselves where Homer says right tricep thrust! Tell me where in the book it says "Right Tricep Thrust", just one phrase saying "Right Tricep Thrust". Yoda, With this last post, you may be sealing the coffin on the old machine, thank god, I've got a tape of what I believe to be someone demonstrating the Golfing Machine with the true application of right arm thrust. I won't be responding to any of your posts, so consider this our last communication. DG

DG,

DG?

DG!

H-E-L-L-O-O-O?

Looks like D.G. has left the building. Oh Well. For the rest of us then....

First, as I stated in the above Four-Point post that obviously ripped it withD.G., this is a free country and you can promote anything you want as long asit's legal. And if you feel that the Right Forearm is thrusting itself-- as opposed to being Thrust by the Right Triceps straightening the RightElbow -- well, that's your privilege. My only point was: Don't say youare following the teachings of the The Golfing Machine and we whodisagree with that point of view are not.

And for what its worth, D.G. -- probably not much -- for the life of me I can'tunderstand this fanatical allegiance to the late Tom Tomasello (as nice a guyas he was) and this video you guys did together when you have been presentedtime and time again with the truth from the pen of the greatest genius who everapplied his talents to Golf Stroke Analysis, namely Homer Kelley. I don't getit. But then again, if I did, I'd be worried.

Now, to your questions and comments:

1. I think posting the 1983 Golf Magazine Clampett Swing Analysis byHomer Kelley is a wonderful idea. There is no question that it is the mostintelligent and thoughtful Golf Stroke analysis ever written. I do not know ifthat work is among the many copyrighted materials now belonging to the newowners. I will check with them next week and see if they will either put it upthemselves or allow me to put it up for them.

2. I don't have a problem with your use of the term "Right ForearmThrust." Where did you get that idea? Never came from me! I certainlyunderstand what you mean by it, and that's what counts. You mean the drivingRight Arm, right? I'm okay with that.

But apparently, for some inexplicable reason, you're not okay with TheGolfing Machine concept of Right Triceps Extension (2-M-4). Or Thrust(which is what Homer termed it in the Clampett analysis). Hence the challengein your post.

In addition to the four important points in my post above -- the ones thatestablish The Golfing Machine points of reference on the Right Triceps(and its function as the straightener of the Right Elbow) -- it might behelpful to go to the Webster and define the word "thrust."

Thrust: "To push with sudden force."

Well, that's the first definition, and I suppose we can stop there.

And that word "push" in the definition is what Right Arm Hitting isall about, isn't it? Pushing is Power for the Hitter, right?

And what do we "push" our arm with? Muscles, right? So we have MuscularPushing Power, right? You see, DG, that is what thrust is to the golfer...muscularpushing power.

Now, with those thoughts in mind...

Per 2-M-3, page 38 (6th edition), 5th paragraph:

"Power Package Muscle Power can be almost entirely RightTriceps."

(That's one! But then like potato chips, nobody can stop with just one.)

Same paragraph:

The Right Triceps and Pectoral can handle the muscle requirementsof the Downstroke...

(That's two!)

And per 2-M-4:

"...so the Clubhead can be endowed with Pivot Speed PLUS RightTriceps Speed."

(That's...enough!)

Now, even you noted that last one. But amazingly, you don't think that'sthrust! You don't think that it is the Right Triceps Muscular Thrust thatgenerates the speed? How else could the speed have been generated if not byRight Triceps pushing, which by definition is thrusting. Read theabove definition again. What else could it possibly be? Contraction? [I'llspare you that definition.]

So, if your position is that Homer is not talking about the Right Tricepspushing or thrusting -- via the straightening Right Elbow (which I referencedin my four-point post above) -- then...honestly?...there's no hope for you,D.G. You just don't get it. And you never will. Sad.

3. It seems that you have rendered unto Yoda that most unpleasant fate of somany of history's bearer's of bad tidings. Alas, I am off to MessengerHeaven.

May I rest in peace.
