Good video. The same principle applies to the full swing. The club head lags behind the hands through impact. Think about an old fashion mop...if you were to swing it like a golf club, the mophead would be lagging behind the stick its mounted on.

EXACTLY.

onebecamefive, it's a "feel."

See how Yoda has the club head lagging behind the hands. SLOWLY...
Please notice the pressure he is putting on the shaft through the line of compression.
Man, that club "feels" heavy!

Draaaaaaaaag the mop...

Make a little more sense? I hope this helps, it is HUGE to our studies...

Take a mob with just your back hand. Drag it along the kitchen tile. Maintain the pressure against the handle with your back index finger.

To help your wife out, maybe add some water to the mob.

Dont' weasel out and use a broom! It was a year before I actually dragged an actual mop....it was night and day.

One important aspect of 'accomplishing it' is to know what's 'behind' it - literally! The left thumb is behind the shaft, PP#1 is behind the shaft, the three fingers of the left hand (PP#2) are behind the shaft and finally PP#3 is behind the shaft.

To mix my metaphors, thats where the rubber meets the road.

Andy,
you say the left thumb is behind the shaft. I am having a hard time grasping that. My grip has the left thumb just to the aft side of center on top of the shaft at address. Does the "feel" of PP1 move behind the shaft as you begin down because the left arm is turned some? Or is it taken literally that the left is always behind the shaft at address etc..I saw Yoda talk about this in his DVD's which I have also, just not in too much detail.

thanks
Joe
