YODA's Footwork

Please tune in to see some wonderful video of Lynn talking TGM with another great teacher, Rick Nielsen. In part 2, YODA discusses footwork. Seems simple enough, but it contains all of Mr. Kelley's ideas incorporated with the wonderful MacDonald drills. A lot of the material was gone over by YODA in my lesson last year, but not even 1/2 was retained, I've killed many brain cells over the years. :)

WONDERFUL explanation of how the lower 1/4 of the body works during the stroke.

Thanks Rick, Ralph and YODA!

Kevin, you, this site, TGM, and our friends...
 

Can we save the video for private viewing somehow?

You also have given me, Kevin, by way of related insights, a reminder of an idea I used at in training sessions of financial planners that I will use with my new elem. school West Philadelphia. While teaching them to read, we will have the young people practice by studying American success stories. Investors Business Daily has a special section on "Business Success."

Thanks Kevin

I put this clip at #2 on my list of most helpful video.

Great Video.

Hey City!
I like your reading assignment. Good thinking.
As for Yoda's footwork, I wish I would have seen that years ago. I wish I would have known all this stuff years ago. Heck, I should just be happy with what I am discovering now.
Peace.

Mouth dropping to see Yoda using the Melhorn Grasswhip. Phenominal video.

Lynn is more than just TGM.

Wild Bill Melhorne, Robert McDonald , Paul Bertholy etc etc etc. And that very old stuff works let me tell you. Right, left , right , left , right , left........

If you havent tried it you wouldnt believe it. I warm up that way every day. Hitting a line of balls whilst continously swinging.

Feelings, nothing more than feelings....
 

HI there! I have some fog to clear up or as they would say in certain parts of the world ("Let's give our brother a hand as he comes down the aisle to see Jesus!").

When I turn my right hip, sailing along the line of the footwork thread, I feel my hip turn, which is good.

When I try to feel my left hip turn, I cannot feel that hip now made of titanium and plastic with muscles cut like so many kindergarten birthday present ribbons.
So, am I willing my left hip to turn when I turn my belt buckle/belly button/chest/left elbow/left shoulder or do a Pivot forward by pushing off with my front foot directly back?

I had a little epiphany the other night at my indoor golf league. I tried to do the VJ Trolio "secret" Ben Hogan swing and accidentally striped the ball 220 yards in the air which is 40 yards longer than usual for me.

I stepped on my right leg and straightened it until I drifted left and stopped. Then I pushed my self backwards hard and hung onto the club for dear life.

I could barely walk back to the chair after that and needed a heating pad the next day to get the plastic hip to cooperate. So my question is, if I follow Lynn's swing and VJ's swing, how do I get my mechanical part to do the wild thing to the left?

I think I understand VJ's excellent insights. "Post, drift, and Just Turn Left!" :)
