Justin Leonard....Yoda's posterboy??
Anybody have that thought while watching him. Here is what I noticed....

1. Arm waggle
2. No hands downswing
3. Short backswing
4. Upright stance.
5. Right forearm/shaft on similar plane at address
6. Hitter
7. Few moving parts....minimal hip movement
8. Lottsa lag

So....who teaches this guy?

-Greg

On TGC the other night they had his swing up on an analyzer with plane lines. The downswing has a shift down to the elbow plane.

So it's not really a Yoda style Turned Shoulder Plane stroke. I'm not sure of the other components JL uses.

I think his teacher had been Randy Smith, but he has transitioned to Butch Harmon in the last year or so.
