It finally broke 40 degrees \/ and went to the drving range. Had a ball, but never really able to feel lag pressure. Tonight, doing dowel work, began to push the clubshaft into my right hand on the takeaway with pp#2 I noticed that pressure point 3 and 1 felt heavy. So pushed harder with pp#2 into my right hand and took it up to the top. Then was able to feel that pressure from the top through the downstroke. What did I do? Is this OK?
Are you pushing back against the left hand with the right hand? This is a Hitting technique called resisting the backswing. You can also execute this hand "opposition" on the downswing for a Hitting procedure for less than full shots, using this as a substitute for lag pressure. But for full effective shots, you need the real deal - pressure caused by a lagging clubhead.
