Yoda- Are you ready to tell us your's?

To my untrained eye, it looks to me like you do a lateral hip slide (hula hula) move to start your downstroke.

Yes but there is the little bit of business where Yoda's left heel slams down on the ground first , I think.

Right, left, right, left , right, left etc etc etc. Wild Lynn Melhourne McDonald Blake they call him. Well sometimes anyway. I heard it once, I think. Maybe.

I am using the ground up but my only thought is keep the flying wedge frozen (hands in casts) at the top and spin the right shoulder down plane (thanks Daryl!).

BTW was watching JB Holmes on the range Sunday - he is a short stocky guy but is as long as anyone out there. His swing is compact (unlike Bubba Watson or Dustin Johnson). He hits it straight with a little fade. He has obviously figured it out.

Is J P Holmes a hitter? Since relatively short backswing at the top, frozen bent right wrist at impact to follow through?

I do as many have described - step on the left heel and make sure my left glut goes back to the (invisible) pane of glass before my right hip rotates forward. I've only been doing this for about a month but it has transformed my game.

While on the course, to keep this feeling going I do the pump drill where I make sure I also send my right shoulder down towards the ball.

At home I use an impact bag which makes it quite easy to get this move grooved.

I watched him hit balls for 45 minutes Sat. - sure has a lot of pivot - so I cannot answer - could be 4 barrels? He defintely fades the ball and but not a high trajectory. Sure gets a lot of power for a shorter stocky guy.
