When I visited Yoda, you and he did identify a large number of faults. HOWEVER rather than focusing on each fault, Yoda explain to me that in getting myself into the proper alignment that a number of these faults should and would probably disappear.

Working the basic motion then the acquired and achieving correct results eliminated improper techniques.

The drills for the basic and acquired which most are in the book in one form or another.

When we go to full motion, Yoda noted that most of the faults noted were no longer an issue, yet we didn't focus on the faults, we focus on the alignments for the most part.

During each step of the way we discussed the book by reference and the whys and what fors.

What I discovered that in my case I could start a stroke and stop it, cause I knew it was wrong. Yoda got me to get the correct mechanics to produce the feel.

Once and awhile an old habit would show up and usually I could identify it and know why, even though we didn't tag each fault to a step in the teaching Yoda did. What I learned was that my old habit prevented me from achieving what I needed to be correct.

I saw alot of this in the vid clips in this series, when the student was either going to perform a particular stroke or had failed to perform the particular stroke, Yoda would ask questions, pointed questions and the student would respond.

To put it simple Yoda with me and I assume he does this with most students is to build. Start with what the golf stroke is and go step by step forward while the student begins to master it.

Not sure what you are looking for, the wrap up provided in these clips I will bet all are just that, a wrap up, whereas in the hours and day before there was more balls being hit, more drills, etc. There is a lot of information contained within these clips that can be drawn back to the book, chapter, section and paragraph IMO.
