Hitting couldn’t look as nice as a long smooth Swing. But Yoda changed all that. It is a beautiful stroke for anyone. And powerful.
That said- I Swing most of the time. I love pulling and letting the forces of nature align my clubface- maybe because I have been reckless most of my life. LOL. But put an eight iron in my hand and POW- I hit. Why? It is what my hands want to do.

A year before I met Yoda I was convinced that my natural tendency to want to HIT was going to cause me to have less power. So I just kept trying to get my hands up, Up, UP.
After watching Yoda and Ted Forte (aka, YodasLuke) HIT the "you know what" out of the ball, I now know that there is no reason to give up any power with a hitting stroke.
Seeing is believing!
