She's got Betty Grable's eyes but he's got Benjamin Buttons hips.

Yoda, can you describe the evolution of this move for you, and if you can remember when you realized its importance. Do you believe that you use a little extra leftward hip bump at set up?

Thanks,

I think you are chasing one of Ole Yodas best components to my mind. I love the way he uses those things. Not bad hips for a 600 year old fella.

I have a feeling that for him, everything that happens below the Hips is the sole result of his Hip Action.........no Knee Action etc. The Legs support and steady the Centered Head, thats it.

I hope Yoda answers this in detail. It might be a long one with some of Golfs greats mentioned. A game with Bert Yancey, a revelation about Billy Caspers takeaway, a 25 years ahead of its publication knowledge of Hip Slide as portrayed in the 7th edition etc etc.

Or maybe I got it all wrong again. Maybe its just "two turns and a swish" after all. Spin em hard and keep them ahead of the hands maybe? No overtaking right Yoda?

OB
