I can't beileve I only discovered this site 3 weeks ago !
These videos were great. I have one question. At one point in video #4, Yoda started lifting his right leg a few inches off the ground while keeping the rest of his body very still.
What is the reason for this ?
Is there a relationship between this and the routine for setting our feet to the ball? Right foot pigeon toed, then left foot is placed next to the right. Also, when I see Yoda place his left foot he does it very slow and controlled.
When I tried lifting my right leg like this I felt like I had to shift my head to the left, just inside my left foot.

KnighT,
I'll have to go back and check the video to see exactly what you're talking about. For now, know that Homer Kelley advised learning the Major Basic Strokes from Impact Fix (7-3). In other words, at Address, the Body and Hands are in their Impact Positions. That is how you learn to use the Right Elbow to "...lift and lower the Left Arm and Cock and Uncock the Left Wrist." This is a major part of the Magic of the Right Forearm.
The Weight is left when the Body is in its Impact Fix alignment, and that is no doubt what you saw.
