New Yoda Video -- Delivery Path And Flying Wedges

[Trig]

Thanks Trig. I tried again several hours later and still got no response. Can you please let us know when the video is available on the LBG server?

Sure will. It will probably just be a couple of days at the most.

By the way, I just clicked the link and it took a few minutes for it to load for me...so I know it's slow going right now.

Fantastic stuff Yoda! I think I am really starting to incubate the relationships between the wedges, straight line delivery paths, and tracing the plane line.

I think the best visual image I have heard (and I just saw you illistrate it in the video) is "spearing a fish" from the top. If you can spear a fish then you are in the right position from the top and can take the straight line delivery path without having to make compensations.

Keep the videos coming cause they really help clarifying concepts in a way that "seeing" can only do.

Thanks!!

Thanks, ram1. Now that we are getting our 'sea legs' with this web thing, there will be much more video. Next week, for example, we will put up A Lesson With Yoda. It runs about an hour and is an excerpt from a two-day Private Workshop session earlier this year. Also, I'll be putting up some Short Game video to support The Scoring Zone Forum. Finally, some commercial DVDs will soon be available. They are admittedly homespun, but they are also chock-full of information and will be worth every penny.

I'm waiting anxiously for some of that homespun stuff....

Yoda, some of the best cooking is definitely "homespun"

Excellent explanation of the delivery path. It is so refreshing to watch a demonstration by a "golfer".

Thanks, WAE. The title of your post asked if this was "Hitting versus Swinging." The answer is that both Hitter and Swinger can use the same Straight Line Delivery Path to Aim their Hands on the Downstroke. However, Hitters tend to complete their Backstroke at the Top of the Straight Line (Right Shoulder high) and Swingers tend to go beyond this Top to the End. In this procedure -- Top Arc and Straight Line -- the Hands travel in an arc beyond the Top and retrace that arc during the Start Down.

Yoda showed that the Straight Line Delivery Path of the Hands extends all the way down to the Aiming Point which lies on the Straight Plane Line. For a photo explanation, please turn to 9-3 and notice the obscure black arrow extending from the Deliver Path to the Ball.

The Straight Line Delivery Path taken by the Hands is parallel to the Right Forearm Angle of Approach. In the video, it just so happens that the Aiming Point is the ball. If you wanted to move the Aiming Point forwards (i.e. in front of the ball), the straight line thrust/path the Hands take would still be parallel to the Right Forearm Angle of Approach, but merely moved forwards by the desired amount.
