Here are some notes I took after the lesson that I don't think will make sense to anyone but Yoda, Kathy and me:
RIght left right left
Lag drag takeaway on plane
Watch club parallel to ground parallel to line
Watch load: clubneeds to remain vertical on start down
Start down waggle: pump drill to begin karate chop of left forearm to baseline
Arms pass body, easy on the pivot, left foot remains fixed and planted
Easy on the hip slide: more turn than slide
Swing is mirror image of itself on the left side; "trick" the computer by reversing the swing
Being on plane for every stroke is magical
Don't forget to roll the right hand after impact, but don't overdo it
For putting: club in lifeline of left hand, roll left hand turn right hand
Arms 45degrees, bend down low
For chipping, use 8 iron for putt-chip
For pitching, basic motion ball slightly back of stance
For putting, back center of cup for putts inside 10 feet, bottom center of cup for putts inside 20 feet, 10 percent rule for longer putts
Watch putter backswing, don't come from the outside
Clock drills, tiger hits 48 putts inside 3 feet before swinging a club
It all meant so much to us in Yoda's splendid lesson bay. Really can't wait to play!
Thank you for your notes Quitesure!!! Many of them make sense to me, and even if I'm a little unsure (as opposed to quitesure) I can kind of sense what Lynn was trying to tell you.
I saw that Yoda posted a new video called "Start Down Waggles":
By any chance was this from your lesson? I apologize if I did not see a corresponding post indicating so.
Yoda, I enjoyed your summary as well -- you really do bring out the best in people. One of my favorite things about your videos is how you interact with your clients. I will probably die of laughter when I see ya some day... you really do have a way with words and with people. When you combine that with correct and comprehensive technical knowhow, it's a devastating combo.
Kev & ICT -- you are both definitely among my favorite posters here. As a lurker, I enjoy each of your contributions greatly. 12 Piece, Daryl, YodasLuke, and others I can't recall at the moment also contribute such great insights.
I declare this to be the least dysfunctional internet message board in human history!
