Yoda Video -- Hinge Action And Finish Swivel Action

[Seanmx]

Fantastic video, after trying this out on the course I can truly feel horizontal and vertical hinging for the first time. Thank you for another piece of the jigsaw.

That is a really impressive explanation. These videos help enormously. Thank you . Don't be bashful about posting more of them.

Great stuff-but then I have my own priceless version from my visit to the swamp! I'm sure the fog is lifting big time out there.

YODA ,Swivel is classed as hand motion ,but since the Old Waverly class where you spent so much time on my swivel(without finding it )I have since been "practising".I can feel the swivel much better if I think of my shoulder as a ball joint-no concious manipulation just thinking during prctice swing and start down waggle seems to work -If practice translates into play then I am almost playing "out there'-as apposed to "in here"!Any thoughts?

So would you recommend maintaining the flat left wrist all the way through to the finish? Isn't there a natural tendency for the left wrist to bend once the shaft is back on the plane after impact?

The hitting reflex can indeed be called "natural" since most people have a hard time avoiding it. What it does is ADDING with the right, causing the left wrist to bend.

In this case "nature" has to be fought. Nothing strange in that. We fight temptations every day. When nature calls...

The video was simply great.

Initially I had a serious problem mixing vertical and horizontal hinge. Let's say you'd be assingned the task of mouting a small door for the dog to be able to enter and exit the house. You'd call the owner and ask him whether he wanted the hinges vertical or horizontal. Might be a language thang, but I tend to think that most people wanting the hinges along the top frame of the door post would say: Mount them horizontally.
- You mean "horizontal hinge"?
- Yes!
- I.e. same as "vertical hinge" in TGM?
- Waitaminute....

I can easily live with it, but I sometimes find it confusing.

...for these two visuals. My lament , past, present and probably future, is that TGM, for us VISUAL LEARNERS, is impossible to comprehend. However, when I can WATCH what you posted there, light bulbs are going on all over the place! What really needs to be done is a VIDEO of the most important concepts from each chapter of the book. That would be an advancement in golf instruction beyond anything anyone has ever accomplished or imagined.

Been done by Paul Hart (GSED) and hopefully soon by Lynn Blake...that's the one I'm anxiously waiting for.

I have always thought that video explanations or images help make the terms used in TGM instantly understandable - from complex or ponderable to quite simple concepts (brilliant in their conception by HK). Paul Hart's stuff is pretty good in helping that understanding take place.

Yoda's hinge and 'finish swivel' demonstration is 'crystal' of course.

For Paul's stuff:
