Twirl Your Baton

No, David. But I should.

My wife never played golf -- she sustained a neck injury many years ago that prevented it -- but she had a beautiful swing on the practice tee from the very beginning.

Yoda: What a wonderful Release though the Ball. How do you do it?

Mrs. Yoda: "Ball-Thumb", just like twirling a baton.

Yoda: Ball-Thumb? One of your 'majorette' things? Talk to me!

Mrs. Yoda: It's simple: Your Thumb goes where the 'ball' (of the baton) goes. [Demonstrating a left-handed baton twirl and the perfect Left Wrist Roll through Impact.]



And so it does.
