Percy Boomer wrote some wonderful words which describe the powerful sensation of a swinger loading PP3.

"So I analysed it out to this conclusion...what we are waiting for is the return power, the forward pull of the body that pulls the right hand and throws the clubshaft back onto the trigger finger.

We must not intentionally pull with the right hand, we must wait for the body to pull it. We take up the feel of this pull mainly with our trigger finger, in a strong player the resistance may be so terrific as to burst the finger open.

So we delay while all the time we are going forward. We are waiting in movement."

Written before PP3 was called PP3 but at a time when the role of the hands was fully appreciated. A beautiful description of the drag loading sensation!

Why this has been written about by so few others i will never know. Percy Boomer wrote these words in his book " On learning Golf" in 1942!

I've been thinking about that too. In Swinging #3 should feel a PULL (or maybe better RECEIVE a Pull). Where as in Hitting #3 is receiving a Push.

In either case the #3 Pressure Point is RECEIVING/Feeling/Sensing the inertia of the Sweetspot resisting a change in direction.

One thing that I would take issue with Mr. Boomer on is the amount of pressure sensed. Homer Kelley measured the pressure in ounces not pounds. He said a pound of pressure is all you need. Hence the message you receive from #3 is more like a wisper than a holla.
Nice post Dawg!
