"In this segment, I'm going to talk about Arnold Palmer's waggle. A lot of people don't waggle. A lot of people may not think a waggle is important, but in baseball, you see almost every major league baseball player, when they get up at bat they go like this; they waggle. Now what is that actually doing? It's doing many things. First of all, it's making slight modifications in their grip. When they waggle, they kind of loosen their hands a little, and they waggle, and they loosen their hands. They're re-adjusting their hands to feel comfortably strong and in control. Those little movements mean so much. Small means a lot. Similarly, Arnold Palmer's waggle; that when people rate waggles; I know that you may not be one of them; hey, what's your favorite waggle, he's always number one when they talk about waggles. Waggle that, waggle, and what that does is set your hands with minor modifications. It gives you a grip; gives you your grip. You feel it in your arms, your shoulders. It's lining you up. It's getting you ready. If you don't waggle the club, try it. It does so many things, the small things that make all the difference. It makes you so comfortable, so strong, and Arnold Palmer, before he hit what a waggle he had. It meant so much to him, and it could mean so much to you."
