Feel the pressure
Hi Jeff

I think I managed to achieve this one year ago while experimenting Hitting.

I'm not an expert as Drewitgolf, Okie or nuke99 but I'll try to do my best to relate this experience using TGM terminology.

When I disovered this site a few years ago, I was amazed to discovered that Swinging was not the only way to hit the ball and decided to give a try to Hitting.

Hitting basic motion first, then acquired to understand the mechanics and the physics.
I was hitting "by the book" and everything was good.

Then I went to Total Motion by adding "2-M-4 Body Power"...
But at that time I didn't knew the differences between 2-M-4 for Hitting and Swinging and started to use Pivot Thrust as a Swinger: blasting the primary lever assembly from my chest using CF.

I was in fact using PA#4 as a swinger and PA#1,#2+#3 (simultaneous) as a Hitter! Some kind of Switting

The results: Amazing! Power (a ton of lag!) with never seen before accuracy at such distances.

What I did:
- use PA#4 as a swinger: the whole primary assembly accross the chest then rotary body power to blast it of the chest,
- at some point in the downswing, you'll feel the release of PA#4 through the pression descreasing on PP#4,
- as soon as you feel that (for me it's almost when my hand pass in front of my right leg), you activate your right arm to drive the primary lever assembly toward aiming point.

Interestingly enough, I felt that the activation of the right arm occuring at the moment PA#4 start to release came along with the desire to maintain the heavy feel at PP3 constant during the downstroke.

Think about it like that:
- When you load the power package using PA#4, you feel a heavy clubhead (lets say you feel the Power Package weighting 1 ton )
- Then when PA#4 releases, "you loose weight". You will go to 1 ton to 0 ton at PA#4 full relase (wich is well after the ball).
- So, if you rely only on PA#4 to strike the ball, your Power Package will feel 500kg at impact
- But, the right arm driving will evenly replace this weight loss (for me it even feels heavier than initialy).

The result is that by focusing on maintaining a constant pression of the Power Package in your hands (always the same old story ) you will precisely know WHEN you'll need to activate the right arm thrust.
