In the 'drag the mop' clip - is Yoda doing basic or acquired motion .. looks a bit more than 2 ft. to me - but less than what I perceive as acquired.

Also, he seems to break his wrists immediately at start of takeaway - I thought the ideal way is to take everything back as one triangle unit until they break naturally. Thanks for any feedback.

Drag the wet mop or Lag should be present in every stroke (although in Ernie's short game book he blades a wedge by letting the club pass the hands, weird). From memory Id say Yoda was in Acquired. Basic is a one Power Accumulator deal, in Acquired you acquire another Power Accumulator or two, a Pivot for instance if you're hitting your Basic shots with a straightening right arm only .


TGM uses the "Triangle" analogy too but with one side, the right side, shortening right off the start. Very different from the old "rock the frozen triangle" concept which promoted "pivot to hands" , an over turning of the shoulders sending the hands and club off plane. You can use the search function to research these terms. Mr Kelley was pretty big on the right arm bending, in fact he assigned much of the swing to just that action and labeled it "The Magic of the Right Forearm". Do some research and give it a try, you'll never go back to a frozen triangle I bet. I wont anyways.

Also search "tracing" as opposed to "covering", "fanning, bending" . Good luck with it.
