Possibly. As long as you can control how the shaft is aligned all the way down post transition, anything can work. Flying right elbows TEND to cause across the line which, in my opinion, could promote a reverse tumble all the way down - hideous.
I play across the line and have to "time" my tumble. This is because coming out of transition I am still a bit steep. I then have to reverse tumble to place the shaft in a place where I can apply a squaring effect (tumble) on the shaft/clubface. This is the double move downswing that I abhor!
How is this double move working out for you? I used to hit the ball great swinging like this, although eventually I convinced myself that I needed to fix it. But the thing is, when I swing inline, flatter and/or laid off, I often try to kill it from the start of the downswing, resulting in terrible tempo and typically a loss of balance after impact. It's like I feel that I dont have enough time to accelerate the club adequately, and combined with the fact that its just "one move" to the ball, I often cant help myself and try and murder the ball from the top.
When I swing steeper and across the line, my tempo and balance is improved 100 fold because I know I cant go at it 100% from the top, I have to back it up first. This seems to provide a great timing mechanism for my swing. I also feel more comfortable with high hands at the top since I feel like I have more time/room to accelerate the club, and I also find it much easier to get a vertical (and in) hand path on the downswing from this position.
It does seem a bit timing dependent, and I usually hit pushes when I dont get the hand path correct near impact. Anyway, I was just curious about whether or not you have had any huge issues with this "double move", since I have only started experimenting with this again fairly recently.
Also, thanks again guys for all your contributions.
