Thanks Scottgas2 for raising this question.

Well, I have reviewed the Yoda Basic Motion pictures ... I certainly have just spent 2 weeks and about 2000 balls doing 'basic' shots that were not basic ... I was going back way further than the Master ...

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.


Re. 2 foot back and 2 foot through:

I went back out - got my 2 dowels - got out the tape and measured 4 foot - stuck the dowels in the ground 4 ft apart - on the target line - placed the ball precisely in the middle -

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.
