A Yoda DVD?
 
Yoda, are you coming out with a soup to nuts DVD soon? As per your suggestion (shared by several posters), I have ordered Brian's "Confession of a Former Flipper," but I'm hoping that you will have one available as well.

While I hopefully wait for your DVD, is there a tape available that demonstrates the drills with the dowels, rackets, flashlights, hula hoops, etc.? I have seen all of these drills mentioned frequently, but would love to see them in operation.

Also, I've seen mention of "The magic of the right forearm primer." Can you direct me to that?

Finally, I would greatly appreciate your feedback with regard to my earlier post regarding whether I should try to learn hitting or swinging. Thank you very much.

I meet tomorrow with my Atlanta-based video production company to hammer out the details of our shoot. On Wednesday, I'm headed over to V.J. Trolio's place (Old Waverly in West Point, Mississippi) to re-film our short game video. The stuff was just too good not to have it done right, e.g., professional photographer, well-miked, different angles, etc.

The goal is for you to have a ready answer to the question, "What do you want for Christmas?" :D

"What do you want for Christmas?"

Presents are free, thanks Yoda.....ho, ho, ho............LOL

There's good stuff in here:

You may also want to do a search on chuckevansgolf.com

That's where Yoda used to post lots...he did much of his most thorough stuff there I believe.

Count me In
 
Yoda,

When the DVD is ready be sure send out word and count me in (as in one purchased). Love your shorts on your site and while I have Brian's stuff, I would love to have your info for viewing too.

Readers should know that my posts on all sites prior to forming LynnBlakeGolf.com are now archived on our site with full search capability.

In the first year of my return to The Golfing Machine® -- after an absence of twenty years -- I spent a great deal of time communicating the truths Homer Kelley personally taught me. On purpose, because of the wide inconsistency of presentation of his great work -- I wrote in great detail, with paragraph references to TGM and every 'i' dotted and every 't' crossed. There is no need -- even if I had the time (which I do not) -- to cover that ground again. The principles and procedures do not change. That is the nature of The Golfing Machine®.

Meanwhile, my posts today presume to some extent that body of knowledge (which simply did not exist before I put it down) and a readership sufficiently motivated to research the core principles. And my writing today is just as thorough (but with fewer references to the TGM text because, although it remains our birthright, it is becoming less applicable to our broadening readership base).

As I think on that prior work, I regret that I did not complete the Hinge Action and Right Forearm Series. There are two primary reasons I did not: First, the work of reducing these concepts to precision words was exhausting and, second, along the way I learned in our Schools and in my work with private clients that personal demonstration was, in the end, the only way to get these mission-critical concepts across.

That is why you will see video dominate this site in the year to come. Plus, a full-time commitment from me to grow this business, both through my own instruction and that of others I have personally trained and who I know can deliver the results you seek.

If you think this site is 'happ'nin now, stay tuned...

You ain't seen nut'in yet!

I think you sell your writing short. Those two pieces really opened up worlds of understanding, even without video.

Thanks, rchang,

It will be a long winter, and I may yet finish the Hinge Action and Right Forearm Magic Series. But only with a video supplement!

A true WELCOME HOME my green friend!!!! I can tell you that if it was not for serendipitously stumbling across your posts on Chuck's forums I would still be "without the slightest clue." To you I am truly grateful. Thank you for opening my eyes to what the Machine really is all about. Also thanks for introducing me to Eddie Cox. Another Machine head that I'm extremely fortunate to have as a friend. And from Eddie I have also befriended the mysterious Annikan Skywalker, another accomplished Machinist.

You have lit the proverbial fire under my ass. I now own 4 versions of The Golfing Machine. It is an interesting study to see how Mr. K's thoughts evolved through time. His legacy now in your very capable hands.

As Rush Limbaugh says, "You are doing what you were born to do and we are doing what we are born to do . . . LISTEN." It has been a fantastic and enlightening ride so far. And for that thanks. Can't wait to see where we go from here. I got my safety harness locked and tight!

Glad to hear that you are devoting your full energy to "octopus - or thing from outer space." We all are blessed. I know Mr. K would be beaming with pride . . . and you should too! (I will however miss the references [-o< but video will be the hootenany!)

Again welcome home . . .

Indeed an important issue.

There are just too many DVD's produced that for no valid reason are region coded. Most PC's have DVD players that allows for altering the region a fixed number of times. Like 4 times. After the 4th time it can not be altered any more and the customer will basically have to rebuild his PC to be able to view his DVD's.

Not an expert, but it'd be greatly appreciated if the DVD was produced avoding the region ordeal.

I'm dreaming of a "Green Christmas" just like the ones I use to know....
Where the fairways glisten and my golf balls listens to hear Yoda's words all aglow....

Fill in the next verse yourself.

Glad to hear the video is moving forward. In thinking about Yoda's earlier post about video and writing, I tend to agree that video has helped me clear the fog quicker. I do understand most of what I read (certainly understand more of TGM by Kelley) but video seems to clarify it even better. Keep it coming Yoda. I will be first in line to get that DVD, and I can't wait to see where it goes from there.

Stay tuned...

Not heard anything about the progress of the Yoda DVD for a while. Anyone have a progress report?

Hope it still is a GO
 
Hope it is still alive. Yoda has produced some of the best stuff available to illustrate TGM. Sounds like he may be busy or bogged down over the holidays. Bet we hear soon.

Another bump for a Yoda DVD. I've been sneaking around this site for a little while now and have found the information very helpful and have found myself a full TGM convert after seeing the proof in my ballstriking. Looking to make some big strides in '06(as soon as winter ends that is :( ), and would love a DVD to compliment my offseason swing work. Any updates Yoda??? Great stuff by the way, I love the forum!

strav 01-31-2006 10:49 PM

DVD appears to have fallen by the wayside. Let's [-o< it's all happening behind the scenes.

Sorry for the delay everybody. The work's been done. All we've got to do now is 'stop the world' and finish it. Easier said than done, but I talked with V.J. at the PGA Show, and we're committed to putting this project to bed.

Great news Yoda!

Looks like there are quite a few of us hanging out for this release. :smile:

Any news on the Yoda DVD front? Still putting my coins in the sock drawer and it is getting kind of full. May have to move to the underwear drawer next. That is just ugly.

Thanks for the update. Patience is my middle name. Used to be Danger but Austin Powers took that.

I'll keep an eye out. Just be sure to let us know loud an clear when ready to launch.

The DVD is done. And has been done. Only cosmetic titles, chaptering, etc. remain to be completed. As I've said, I am the bottleneck. Things are just moving so fast...

I apologize.

Those of us who were at Old Waverly were privileged to have been able to see it.

It is something special.

Very special.

And worth waiting for.

If it is possible- per kmmcnabb's post above- I believe Lynn will only be accepting sock money and he's drawing the line at underwear money- none will be accepted- however, that's just my guess- he might confirm that he's accepting any money.:)
