Yoda's Hip Action

[Yoda]

When I first started looking at Yoda's videos, I noticed his very deliberate hip slide as a feature of his swing , and position images at impact.
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,
Scott

There definitely was an evolution, Scott. Fun stuff involving a Bahama blue Volkswagon, a dark green sweater and a Sinatra tune called When I Was Seventeen. I'll be back after this and next Masters week.

Never had a blue VW though my girlfriend( still my wife) did.
Probably had a green sweater.
Definitely loved Sinatra though my first intro to "When I was Seventeen" was The Kingston Trio's version.
I just wish I had started playing golf then instead of three years ago.

Hope the hear more on this hip action stuff after the Masters, thanks Yoda.

I hope Yoda gets back to us with some info on his components, Hip Action etc. He may or he may not. Per TGM, his way is not necessarily our ideal way, after all. But I'd love to read about his hips and the evolution of his very impressive motion. He's not one to toot his own horn, we might have to remind him, keep the thread warm.

Sinatra, a green sweater and a Volkswagen? This is a golf forum, Sir!

That is a very cryptic clue. Who was wearing the green sweater? Anyone know? I'm thinking Augusta. Was it this guy? I know Yoda used to make a point of watching Knudson practice and play. Always on the look out for the red Spalding bag.

PS What I meant above is that Yoda like Homer would never recommend any one way, even if it was his way and majestic. He would never want us all to swing like he does, exactly. That wouldnt work, strangely, sadly. Different strokes for different folks. Now there are common points to note, however.......

There has been a minor break in the case. The Bahama Blue Volkswagen was licensed to one Mr. Lynn Blake when he was 17 years of age.

Now who owned the mysterious "dark green sweater"?

Over.
