It seems to me that Yoda's right arm does not move at all ... look at a tiny piece of the bush behind him just above his right elbow ...
The back of his right hand does not seem to move past the inside of his right thigh ... so the only way he could do this is by bending / cocking his left wrist ?? - Looking for clarification here please.
It is done with the #1 power accumulator only - bending and straightening of the right elbow.

And it felt terrible ... totally stunted type of 'stroke' staying within these parameters ... clubhead hitting the rear dowel so quickly that it seems impossible to play any kind of fluent stroke - for me anyway ...
I only had about 4 attempts as I had to head for work ... so maybe I could develop something with practice ... but would appreciate if somebody else could try this set-up to see how it feels.
You must appreciate that this is the most basic of all golf shots. Whilst it does have an application on the golf course it is primarily a drilling process to learn control of the hands. The hands are merely clamps and add nothing to the power of the basic motion shot - no cocking or bending of left or right wrists. Back, up and in; down, out and through.
You will be pleasantly surprised once you master basic motion and the sound of impact will tell you when you have done it.
