Add 45 yards in 45 minutes

Great work Ted! Great to see the Machine and the Alignments at work.

Can you give us pics of the results of your next session? Would be cool to see the progress.

Question: I the AFTER picture the hands are obviously much much better. Of course Rome wasn't built in a day, but would you prefer the body position in the BEFORE picture with the hands in the AFTER picture?

This would be a cool case study . . .

Great work again!

In the lesson, he took a couple of Gary Player steps toward the target. I wasn't a big fan of that, but I was so happy to have him monitoring his pressure points, I was satisfied. With permission to do so from my students, I'm going to try to do this with a number of different people. I think the pics will help in many of our conversations in here.

I also have pictures of students with which Yoda is working that have made RIDICULOUS and UNBELIEVABLE improvements. I'll be posting those pics very soon, too. They truly look like different people.

Both are mission critical. The drive out of the #1 accumulator puts pressure against the #1 pressure point. As a result, the #3 pressure point feels the lag pressure in the #3 pressure point. (#1 = driver, #3 = receiver/tracing) Remember the club doesn't want to go along for the ride (inertia). I find that many try to drive #3 with no regard for #1 which creates a flat RIGHT wrist and a bent left. Therefore, the flying wedges are destroyed. Vijay Singh is one of the few people in history that I've ever seen that had a flat right wrist AND a flat left wrist, with ONLY the #3 pressure point on the club. By the way, Homer said that could be done, too. Was the man a genius, or what?

Thanks for the info I beleive I am guilty of driving #3 I will focus on driving #1 are there any drills to acquire this feeling.

Do lots of basic motions, and always check your hands in finish. Look, look, look. Try the penny drill.

He started with an interlock, of which I'm not a big fan. So, I let him use 10 finger instead. Next time, I'm going to ask him if he could overlap.

Okay I have to ask, why do you want him to change?

Nice before and after...impressive...

I prefer to have the hands tied together with overlapping. I think it really puts the #1 pressure point where it should be, higher against the thumb.

How high on the thumb is your preference? Would it be at the top of the first knuckle close to the wrist?

My experience with small small hands is I can lose the connection with the thumb using first the overlap, next the 10 finger, and the interlock is the best. I do however hate the interlock grip.

Yes, I think we would be saying the same thing. The left thumb should be in the cup of the right hand. The #1 pressure point (Spiderman's web shooter for all you non TGM'ers) should be on the side of the base/1st knuckle closest to the wrist not the nail.

I just started golfing this year so it's no suprise taht you guys are way over my head. All this talk of pressure points. Could someone refer me to a basic description of these pressure points and what they are intented to influence or acheive?

Thanks!

You can discover them for yourself by feel. Get your club and a towel. Wrap the towel around the clubhead. Grip the club as you would normally. Place the clubhead with towel wrapped around it on your Target Line in back of your right foot. Now SLOWLY drag the towel via the grip end using your Pivot (body).

Try it eyes opened and closed. What points in your hands and on your body do you sense pressure?

Next head to a door jam. Stick the clubhead in there as if you were addressing the ball. Now put pressure into the door jam. Try to bend the shaft.

Where do you feel the pressure?

Report back . . . with your discovery. Then I'll post what the book has to say . . .
