Here's a new student of mine that's only taken one lesson. In the 45 minute lesson, this is what changed. There are other things in these photos that I'd like to change, but the before and after pictures are very different. After he hit the second shot he said, "did you hear that?" I told him it was the sound of compression. When you can see a difference in the trajectory at 10 inches past the ball, imagine what it looked like at 100 yards.

To be honest, the hip slide came as a result of us doing rehearsals at impact fix. The location of his hands led him into a little too much slide. After he heard the sound, I wasn't about to change the slide. He was giggling like a kid.

Yes, I see it now, he does move a bit too far to the left but what the heck- that sound is addictive. I remember doing that little "Yoda's Secret" around the green, feeling pp3 being the clubhead and the chip shots from the group was Loud! "Ear fog lifting."
What did you have him do to get into that position.
I started with the right forearm alignment, which is not shown here. But, from down the line it was a borderline atrocity. It was higher than the left, as the left arm was visible under the right at address and completely out of line with the shaft. I showed him impact fix and had him hold the fix position as a rehearsal. We discussed the pressure points at length, and focused mainly on the #1 pressure point. I used an old trick of mine that usually works wonders. I put a penny in his #1 pressure point and told him that if he dropped the penny, I was going to shoot him in the head. I know that sounds a little drastic, but I thought it would focus his attention. Apparently, it did.

In hitting is pressure point #1 more important than #3? I never seem to sense #1 I focus on #3 for every shot, any help would be appreciated.
It will show up. Took time for me to feel it, too.
Pressure points aren't squeezed. The power accumulators drive against them to delivery the clubhead to the ball. So keeping the coin in place with Ted's drill only works when Acc#1 is driving against it. Actively in Hitting or merely straightening in Swinging.

corrections anyone?
There is one occassion with one of the Pressure Points where you can squeeze it!
This coin drill works for both Hitters and Swingers, regardless of the use of Accumulator, because Extensor Action should be present in all strokes, from chip to pitch to full swing, from Fix to Follow Through.

In Hitting Pressure Point #3 is now active and will directly drive the Clubhead through Impact. This is not true for the Swinger, where Pressure Point #3 is passive and is only used for aiming and sensing Clubhead Lag Pressure.
Remember that both Pressure Points #1 and #3 are located on the aft side of the shaft, i.e. directly behind the shaft, so if you feel driving pressure on one, you should also feel it on the other.
But the Forefinger has to do the "finesse" jobs which the heel of the Right Hand in incapable of. This includes sensing, aiming and manipulating Clubhead Lag Pressure Point, i.e. feeling the Sweetspot and its relation between the shaft/hosel and the Plane Line. As you get better at this game, your Forefinger will become sensitised to many things!
