I'm just beginning to read and absorb the book. About the Pressure Points PP1 (heel of the Right Hand where it touches the Left Hand thumb) and PP3 (the first joint of the Right Hand index finger where it touches the club shaft), it would be helpful if Yoda could just describe how both points *feel* throughout the entire motion. Thanks.

For Hitters: Driven!
For Swingers: Swung!
This is, of course, a simplified explanation and does not answer your question regarding the 'entire motion.' For Hitters, as an example, the Drive Feeling relates to the Downstroke. Because of this Drive, Hitters will Feel Pressure Point #3 much stronger than Swingers.
And the Extensor Action stretching of the Left Arm through Pressure Point #1 or #3 or both is a Feel that should always be present.
Especially as the hands are arriving at impact, should the pressure one feels at PP3 feel more like a reaction of the shaft on to the right index finger (a resisting force) from pressures elsewhere, including PP1? Thanks.

The Clubhead Lag constitutes the Indirect Drive of the Stroke (7-11) and is almost always assigned to the #3 Pressure Point (10-11-0-3). During the Start Down, the #3 Pressure Point accepts the Load -- Clubhead Lag Pressure Point Pressure -- put on it (by the Pivot in Full Strokes and by the Right Arm or Left in Short Strokes). It then unwaveringly sustains that Load through Impact and well into the Finish.
Unlike the Power Accumulators, the Clubhead Lag has no Release Point.
Yoda,
Hello! Thank you for putting up this site.
I posted these questions in another forum and got no response so I will try again here.
First, for PP#1, right hand against left thumb, I've been experimenting with two feels. The first is where I feel my right side, mostly forearm is generating that pressure down and out pass the ball. The second is where I feel the pulling of my leftside creating that pressure of the right hand on left pushing down and out pass the ball. PP#1 feels about the same in both swings though. Is this the difference between hitting and swinging? Is this the spinwheel concept?
Second, I continue to practice and improve my extensor action and am a convert to a 'hands controlled pivot' however I have having trouble with keeping this concept in my forward swing. I let my hands control the backswing pivot but I seem to need something else on the forward swing, i.e. a little more body, any suggestions or clarification?
Thanks.
