I know that Basic Motion is not given the credit that it deserves. But, a little work can translate into major differences. The swing on the left is Total Motion, when he arrived. The swing on the left is a shorter stroke, after some work on Basic Motion. Homer thought that Basic Motion would be "bigger than the book". I'm inclined to agree.
Basic motion is a training pattern. It teaches "Primary Lever" Flat Left Wrist and Hinging, Stationary Head, etc. (although Hinging is always Angled)
These things must be learned someway and somehow and Basic Motion is the Tool best suited for the job. Graduate asap. Practice it often.
Darryl,
Hinging does not always have to be angled for Basic Motion.
It is up to the player to decide what hinging they would like to employ two feet back and through....which creates the desired effect on the golf balls travel.

Catch ya on the lesson tee.
Notice that Ted said " a shorter stroke after some work on Basic Motion". The swing on the right is really "Acquired Motion" isnt it? And a very fine example.
Not trying to be a bigger doofus than I already am but thought Id mention that for the folks just starting to work on Basic. Its a painfully small motion with the full depth of the practice field in front of you. Which is why Yoda and Luke prefer to teach it around a putting green.
