Bigwill, Thank you very much for your well thought out
responce to may question about my student. You spent
a lot of time with a solution for me. My thinking has been
mostly along the lines that you mentioned. Most of the
problems, the student has had with pulling with left arm
has been over-the-top moves and/or not getting off the
right side. He watched Yodas swing and felt that Yoda
stayed mostly on the left side on the backswing and therefor
figures that by trying to immulate Yoda that he does not
need to make a shift to the left on the downswing. I try
to explain that Yoda does favor the left side on the backswing
but that does not mean that Yoda does not move left on
the downswing with a hip turn. You are certainly correct
in that a students preception is a big key.
Thanks again, Donn
No problem. I'm usually asking for advice/clarification on these boards. It's cool that I could contribute something helpful for once
