I found a post on Chuck Evan's site back in 2004 which had a special grip that Yoda took which was a way of trying to do what Greg Norman's secret did for a drill. The articles pictures unfortunatelly are not supported. Does anyone have a copy of those pictures.

Yoda now has so many secrets that he probablly can't keep track of all of them anymore. I do know however he can recite most if not all of the yellow book.

The Missing 'Secret' Pix

Dave,

I think 6bmike did those pictures. He'll no doubt see this and respond. If not, drop him a Private Message.

Go to the Home page of Lynn Blake Golf.

Go down to archive

Open up CE archive and do a search for 'Norman or Yodas Secret'.

That will get you the thread with pictures...

I think the post was great enough to merit a reconstruction. Hope no one minds this rip from page 382 of said document. Would be good if the pics could be hosted on LBG...

We went out and chipped balls, single handed at first, then with
both for quite a while and it was well worth it. All of us heard
the loud compression on the ball - clack, clack, clack. It made a
few of us check our clubface a few times thinking we hit a
stone. We started each day, on our own with this drill. It not
only ingrained keeping the right wrist bent into impact, it
taught us to compress the ball like a pro. Give it a try

looks something like this:

Much better then Norman's secret.

Great photos, Hans. Thanks!

When using this Grip, first do a few short chips using the Right Hand
only. The idea is to keep your Right Wrist Bent throught the Stroke. It
must not Flatten! This Grip will add great structure to the Wrist
alignment and will really help you do that. Try it and see! You'll have
to swing your entire Right Hand and Club through Impact -- not just
the Clubhead -- for the Wrist to remain in its Bent condition. If you
Quit -- slow or stop the Hands -- the Left Wrist will Bend and the Right
Wrist will Flatten. Not good.

Once you've got this Feel, add your Left Hand. Feel that Pressure
against the tip of the Right Foregfinger -- our substitute #3 Pressure
Point? And Feel the Cup of your Right Hand welded against the the
Left Thumb -- the #1 Pressure Point? Feel that Bent, Frozen and
Motionless Right Wrist? Delicious, isn't it? You're learning to take both
Hands and the entire Golf Club through Impact. No more Flipping the
Clubhead in ahead of the Hands. This is Real Golf, and the Ball will be
the first to tell you.

And everybody else, too!

Archives Fun -- Research And Rummaging

Thanks, metallion, for digging these out. Also, thanks again to 6bmike, a.k.a. 6bee1dee, for his post and photos.

I hope all members are doing their own bit of prowling around in the Archives (accessed from the Home Page). They may be a bit musty, but the information is fresh as the morning dew! And thanks to the genius of Homer Kelley, as it will be twenty years from now.

Technical problems have prevented us from completing the three albums -- the first three months of 2004 on both the TGM and Chuck Evans sites and the entire year at brianmanzella.com -- but we have hundreds more posts to put up and hope to have the job done before year-end.

Thanks everyone for finding it. I have the archives on my machine but did not think to look there. I am only on page 200. How could a 1 second swing require so many words?

Because many things can go wrong -- and many things have to go right -- in only one second!

If anyone doubts the value of a good hand model, you just have to check out the ugly mitts on that fella. :shock:

Oh wait, those are my hands, geez :roll:

Glad Yoda's secret pictures re-surfaced. I pulled the plug on their location and forget to get them back online again. Thanks guys.

Those hands caught a lot of footballs- whata ya expect !!!!
