Strength doesn't blast the #4 PP from the chest. But if you don't swing on the TSP and use EA with PP #3, then you need all of the strength you can get. And more.
I can blast a 7 iron 190 yards. I can do 10 push-ups. I can't do a single Pull-up. I do 25 sit-ups on my best day.

Hi Daryl! Was Moe Norman a swinger? Was his technique longer than this TSP technique or shorter do you guess? Do certain techniques lend themselves to length? Accuracy? Physical builds, abilities, and disabilities?
I know that your sharing your experiences are 'preciated by lots of people.
I read your stuff on the uncocked left wrist and when done correctly, I can carry a 9 iron almost 145 yards.
But, I'm obviously missing several important alignments and techniques. I have to hit a 5 wood to get 190 yards and, of course, it won't hold the green.
It would be awesome to be able to have that ability to park a 7 iron on a green from that distance!
My hitting experiment doesn't feel as simple and as balanced as the swing to me, so I will be studying this technique in earnest. Also, my GSEB is 72 and swings so beautifully that his 6 iron goes 190. He shoots below his age, often.
My goal is to shoot sub par for the next 20 years, with God's help, and teach a lot of kids to do even better. So, let's get to specifics!
I have been watching Alignment I since my computer had some battery power during our recent power outtages. I think of that yellow stretch band for extensor action and it feel nice and wide with great structure. How do I make that arm tension disappear though as I spin down?
Do I try to hold my right palm up as I spin down as part of the "heavy, drag the mop feeling?" Or, does the slight lateral shift/downrange shift/foot roll allow the right palm to float down in an up position? Or is it the conscious guiding of the #2 pp to the ball that keeps the left palm up?
