[Yoda]

Every lesson with Yoda causes a few days of frustration and even doubt in his
effectiveness until, with perserverence, I emerge out the other side of the
rabbit hole and have a new understanding of an element of the machine that we
did't even discuss.
My last lesson with him focused on my right arm action. I have engrained a
habit of not fanning the right arm due to keeping the clubface too shut. He
wanted me to fan the forearm with what felt like a choppy, lifting motion,
feeling the clubface was opening up way too much. Anywho, I did notice that I
could throw the right arm more in the downswing, as opposed to either opening
it in the downswing or holding off for dear life to not hook it off the
planet.


Throught the back door, this made me realize my hands and arms were not doing
enough up and down. they were going more side to side. My new swing feels
like I am chopping down on a stump or like I am trying to bang the sole of
the club into the ground.

A Three-Dimensional Impact (2-C-0) -- Downward (Attack Angle) and
Outward (Plane Angle) and Forward (Approach Angle) -- requires a Three
Dimensional Backstroke (2-F), i.e., the Club moves Upward, Backward and
Inward -- On Plane -- instantly and simultaneously. This
requires a Three Dimensional Right Forearm and Elbow Motion (2-N-0 and
7-3).

If the 'describable sensation' of this Precision Mechanic (1-J and 3-B) 'Feels'
"Lifting" and "Chopping" (compared with the Prior Total
Motion Feel) then that is the Feel to incorporate into your basic procedure
(Chapter 14). But be sure to look, LOOK, LOOK and make sure you are
getting the Mechanic right. Otherwise, you will be incorporating into your
Stroke the Feel of an incorrect Mechanic.

The change in one Component will almost always affect its relationship with
others. Therefore, one can expect the need to 'tighten tolerances' within the
Total Motion to be the natural byproduct of continuing progress. Here, a
continuing relationship with a competent Authorized Instructor can make the
transition from 'Can't' to 'Can' as painless and seamless as
possible. Even so, at the end of the day, the Instructor can only inform and
explain...


It is the Student who must absorb and apply.
