From an application standpoint, is it correct to assume that the "firmness" being applied at address and startup should not overwhelm the sense of lag loading at startdown? Or should at least be equal?

I don't have any trouble delaying release with the firm pressure. It does not inhibit wristcock. This is all very interesting to me because the awareness has come from having new tools in my hands to work with.

Bagger - I have at times used the same sensations to get my left wedge back. My trend is to get too light with all of my fingers, and getting those last 3 fingers firm does indeed help a lot.

As a swinger, PP#2 is a great place to focus your feel - especially in putting.

Bagger,

The Tools are not new.

They have been there.

Waiting...

Patiently...

For your Incubator to complete its processing and give them to you.

Rest assured...

Given all you have done...

You could not have rushed this process.

Enjoy.

A tad more awareness. Grip pressure is a significant factor in the new setup. Reverified it tonight along with a few more additions.

Tongzilla - I'll need some more time on the right middle and ring finger pressure to determine their role in the swing. I've always felt they helped sense lag pressure on the takeaway, but not sure how they contribute to impact stability.

Right forearm pickup also works wonders. Not the kind of right forearm pickup I used with my old clubs. More pronounced in that the right forearm had to be set at impact fix and adjusted to address much more precisely, and taken back to the turned shoulder plane location as before.

I simply love Homers work. It is a guided struggle vs. a blind stuggle.

Making these very quick and effective swing modifications without external assistance is mind blowing.

The change from a D1 to D5 swingweight, grips that are slightly larger (may adjust later), lie angles that are 2 degrees flatter, shaft that is a step stiffer, and club length that is 1/2 over.

I was not getting the quality of shots and ballflight with the other sticks. This is about using the same alignments as before, but fine tuning the components to adjust to the new instrument.

Wonderful stuff.

This is hard to admit, but 5 years ago I couldn't break 100! I took up golf at 39. I'm a solid 70's player now trying to get to scratch, and some time on the short game will take me there. I'm lucky I stumbled onto TGM early in my golf journey and have had some very, very good hands-on counseling from Yoda over the last two years.

Nuff said...

Second Things First
One more thought on the #2 Pressure Point:

It is no coincidence that it is the first listed (Item #14) in Stage One of the Basic Motion Curriculum of 12-5-1.
