From this Start Up to Top -- and while remaining Head Centered -- both our left heels leave the ground.

As did those of . . .

Vardon.

Jones.

Armour.

Hagen.

Snead.

Demaret.

Hogan.

Nelson.

Palmer.

Player.

Nicklaus.

Casper.

Trevino.

Watson.

And . . .

Almost all the guys you know now, but never took the time to look. Sure, there are notable exceptions: Tiger has a 'Flat Left', but at age 32, he is also on his third left knee surgery.

With due respect to all the nuevo-biomechanics guys . . .

You've missed it.

hope to go longer
 
If I can ever figure out just how to pivot I am going to be longer. The secret is from fix to finish. If you look at Jeff Hulls video and watch that hip motion after impact, a concise compact turn that facilitates as Lynn says "the fastest move in golf"

Never had a blue VW though my girlfriend( still my wife) did.
Probably had a green sweater.
Definitely loved Sinatra though my first intro to "When I was Seventeen" was The Kingston Trio's version.
I just wish I had started playing golf then instead of three years ago.

Hope the hear more on this hip action stuff after the Masters, thanks Yoda.

I hope Yoda gets back to us with some info on his components, Hip Action etc. He may or he may not. Per TGM, his way is not necessarily our ideal way, after all. But I'd love to read about his hips and the evolution of his very impressive motion. He's not one to toot his own horn, we might have to remind him, keep the thread warm.

Sinatra, a green sweater and a Volkswagen? This is a golf forum, Sir!

That is a very cryptic clue. Who was wearing the green sweater? Anyone know? I'm thinking Augusta. Was it this guy? I know Yoda used to make a point of watching Knudson practice and play. Always on the look out for the red Spalding bag.

PS What I meant above is that Yoda like Homer would never recommend any one way, even if it was his way and majestic. He would never want us all to swing like he does, exactly. That wouldnt work, strangely, sadly. Different strokes for different folks. Now there are common points to note, however.......

all points bulletin, be on the look out for one green sweater
 
There has been a minor break in the case. The Bahama Blue Volkswagen was licensed to one Mr. Lynn Blake when he was 17 years of age.

Now who owned the mysterious "dark green sweater"?

Over.
