How can the PP3 point be rotated another 1/4 turn if the backstroke is limited to below shoulder height and doesn't get beyond shoulder height (and doesn't get to the end position where the top of the shaft [which is now parallel to the ground] rests on the PP3 point)? Surely, if the backstroke is limited to a 3/4 swing, then the PP3 point is always behind (aft) of the clubshaft because that was where its position was at address setup? A golfer, who has a limited backstroke action, is not moving his PP3 point from its aft position during the swing.

I definitely cannot understand paragraph 2, which seemingly implies that if a golfer adopts a strong single action grip at address (10-2-B), that PP3 will not necessarily end up aft of the club at impact when the wrists swivel back to the vertical position (per 4-C-3) using standard wrist action (10-18-A). It seems to imply that PP3 can remain/become on top of the club. How is that possible in a swinger's 3/4 action as described above - when the PP3 point is never against the top of the shaft when using a standard strong single action grip and a limited backstroke action?

Jeff.
It has to do with the position of the right forearm. The right forearm is positioned perpendicular to the lever being loaded. So with hitting you are positioning your right forearm to support the primary lever assembly. The left arm and the club. So the number the pressure point is going to stay dead aft of the shaft thru the motion. With swinging your right forearm is supporting the secondary lever . . . club.

So take your hands to Top . . . arms in line with your shoulders. Now change the position of your right forearm. Notice with swinging the forearm will be more under and the club lays down more and thus the load is on your knuckle. Now change your forearm to supporting the LEFT ARM and club. Notice how the pressure is more aft of the club and on the "fleshy pad" And the clubhead goes "HIGH." Homer said that the hitter has a "high" clubhead as a result of the loading.
