Basic Motion
 

I know that Basic Motion is not given the credit that it deserves. But, a little work can translate into major differences. The swing on the left is Total Motion, when he arrived. The swing on the left is a shorter stroke, after some work on Basic Motion. Homer thought that Basic Motion would be "bigger than the book". I'm inclined to agree.

Ah, for those who wish the book was more simple, that kind of sums it up.

Basic motion is a training pattern. It teaches "Primary Lever" Flat Left Wrist and Hinging, Stationary Head, etc. (although Hinging is always Angled)

These things must be learned someway and somehow and Basic Motion is the Tool best suited for the job. Graduate asap. Practice it often.

Impressive!!!

Yodasluke,over what period was this session-1hour? and did you advocate swing or hit?

the difference is immense and very impressive

Very nice transformation!!!

Darryl,

Hinging does not always have to be angled for Basic Motion.
It is up to the player to decide what hinging they would like to employ two feet back and through....which creates the desired effect on the golf balls travel.

Sorting Through the Instructor's Textbook.

In Alignment Golf, VJ is going through the array of hinge actions and accumulators within basic motion. Look, Look, Look...

We will forever be attending the school of basic motion.

Notice that Ted said " a shorter stroke after some work on Basic Motion". The swing on the right is really "Acquired Motion" isnt it? And a very fine example.

Not trying to be a bigger doofus than I already am but thought Id mention that for the folks just starting to work on Basic. Its a painfully small motion with the full depth of the practice field in front of you. Which is why Yoda and Luke prefer to teach it around a putting green.

Couple questions for the masses...

1. When doing basic motion, is there one club or another that is best to use?

2. Moving to acquired should you be using the same club?

3. I would love to hear from Yoda's Luke what were some of the general advice you gave to help the student get into these positions. The student had about the worst flip you can have on the left, on the right you would assume he was a very good player without knowing anything about his game.
