Tomasi Tip Re Distance

I found this current article below by Tomasi which states why those small women (such as Ochoa) can hit the ball so far but I would need someone to please explain it further in more detail... Is this really the Holy Grail of Magic Moves? Is this not swinging from the "ground-up" sequence? How can we practice/apply this?

Top 100 Teacher T.J. Tomasi c/o golf.com
You’ve targeted the wrong body part—it’s not your hips that are the problem. In fact, your hips should lead the “trapping” sequence to impact: the hips trap the shoulders, the shoulders trap the hands, and the hands trap the clubhead. By trap I mean each part stays ahead of the one behind it until the right side runs over the left wall at impact, then—boom!—the club catches up in a rush of energy and releases across the wall. That’s how those small women on the LPGA Tour hit the ball so far. Some of them look like they fell off a charm bracelet, but their trapping sequence is perfect so they nuke it.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Tomasi Tip Re Distance

Hi,

Study the section in the attached link, it is old but explains how you should use the hips, shoulders, arms and hands into the ball. I would recommend reading the whole article, it has much to offer in it's four magic moves.

Re: Tomasi Tip Re Distance

From this link in the "Secrets of Timing and Rhythm" is probably a better place to read:

"The reason the vast majority of golfers have such trouble timing a shot satisfactorily is that, subconsciously or con*sciously, they try to regulate the speed of the club head directly with their hands, without using the intermediary links of the hips, shoulders, and arms. When they do this they get an early but never very great reaction, in terms of speed, from the club head. This is the old familiar "hitting too soon" or "hitting from the top." When the intermediary links are used and the chain reaction is allowed to take its course, there is a late reaction by the club head, which then accelerates to great speed at impact. There is a common expression to describe the player who uses the chain reaction: "He waits on the club." It may not be grammatical but it is descriptive."

Re: Tomasi Tip Re Distance

I was referring to the link you provided, it is great stuff. As I was going through it, that quote in the other section seemed to be right on target to the answer to the question.

Ah! sorry Greg, I can see that now.

I have tried the system and can use it well, I use the early wrist break these days, I find it does just what the article says. I would commend Joe Dante's swing system as it can overcome most of the common flaws that handicap the average player.
