New Yoda Video -- Delivery Path And Flying Wedges

[dansch]

Thanks Trig. I tried again several hours later and still got no response. Can you please let us know when the video is available on the LBG server?

Trig, I have done everything I can think of, downloaded updates, installed new Window Player 10, downloaded the vid to my hard drive, even tried opening it with Real Player, no luck.
PLEASE HELP.

Dan,

I appreciate your efforts in trying to get the video to play. I have similar troubles with avi files because I haven't downloaded the avi codec plugin for Windows Media Player. It may actually be there, but another program stepped on it. In any case, the player knows how to handle the audio stream but not the video.
You may have a similar problem with wmv files. We didn't produce the video so I don't know how it was rendered. Doug did the work.
If your media player will not play any wmv files, which is the Microsoft default codec, then there is likely a missing or corrupt media player file on your system. You may need a reinstall of Media Player, not an upgrade.

PM us if you need further assist.

Thanks,

Bagger

I decided to post my reply here only because it may help others. After downloading another Media Player and finding it still didn't allow viewing the video I had to search further. What I found was I had to slow down acceleration, once I did that all worked fine. Here's how, in the Media Player go to tools, then options, then performance tab, and then either slow down acceleration or turn it off all together and your'e home free. Thanks for your help, Happy New Year

Yoda, A+ Clip. Brought back memories of my lessons with you in the swamp and at Woodmont. I'm hitting the ball well right now, just a simple thought process, load the elbow and fire a straight line delivery.

Keep up the great work...

Thanks, tball. You're well on your way. Stay with it!

I had no problem viewing the video but I had trouble understanding the left arm flying wedge. I get the right arm I think. I haven't seen a visual representation of this but I believe it consists of the grip to forearm relationship forming a wedge shape.

Where or what represents the left arm wedge?

Both the left and right arm flying wedges represent the relationsip between the forearm and grip (a wedge shape or angle), but that angle or wedge refers to different parts of the forearm for each wedge. Grab a club with your normal left hand grip only. COCK the club up and down and notice the angle between the forearm and shaft. This is the left arm flying wedge.

Next, grab the club with only the right hand grip as Yoda demonstrates in the video (i.e. right forearm aligned with the clubshaft with the shaft in the palm of the right hand). Now BEND the right wrist back and forth and notice the angle between the club and the "underbelly" of the right forearm. This is the right forearm flying wedge.

Left wrist cocks but doesn't bend. Right wrist bends, but doesn't cock.

As a side note, I recently took another lesson from Yoda and I completely confused what cocking the left wrist on the followthrough looks (and feels) like. So much winter focus on chips and pitches gave me a solid flat left wrist through impact that refused to swivel on the followthrough. It took me a while to figure it out and begin to execute it, but reviewing the relationship of the flying wedges throughout the swing after the lesson really make things gel.

I am confused about the following:

When the left wrist cocks (moves up & down), how is it physically possible for the right wrist not to move up and down as well?

I just tried this. I placed both hands on a grip and cocked my lift wrist up and down. The right wrist also has to cock. I don't understand how the right wrist can't cock when the left is cocking.

The bending righ tarm cocks the left wrist. To see it, grab your left thumb, keep your left arm straight and your right wrist level, then bend your right arm. Your left wrist must cock or you won't be able to bend your right arm much, if at all.

I guess my point is that when you cock the left wrist (move it up and down), the right wrist must also cock (move up and down).

When you bend the right wriste (move side to side), the left wrist must also move side to side.

If both hands are on the club, I do not see how it is physically possible to not cock the right wrist, and not bend the left one.
