Posterchild for Hitters - Stuart Appleby

I think it means that you need to push against the lag pressure that's accumulated on PP3. The hands want to continue moving up the plane, but you instead start pushing them back downplane - which is drive loading. It's when I'm Swinging that I feel more of a "leaving the hands at the top" sensation. I let PP3 load and then start rotating downplane while letting the clubhead almost feel like it's staying put up there.

Another line from Yoda - "This Loaded Lag Pressure with the full support of the Right Forearm and Elbow is then Delivered Down Plane with absolutely no change whatever in the Pressure" - also stands out at me. I remember him telling me exactly this when I was working on my Hitting stroke. It had never really occurred to me before, but it makes sense. When you reach the Top, don't try to exert more load onto PP3. Whatever you reach the Top with is what you're going to start downplane with. I was always trying to load it some more at the Top and all sorts of problems come from that.

Ahh! So with Swinging it is the Spinning of the Flywheel that loads #3. The rotation throws the Load on #3. Where as with Hitting #3 is already loaded at the Top and not loaded or further loaded at Start Down via Pivot?

Good post!
