[O.B.Left]

So, when you are performing a swinging procedure, the pressure at PP#3 and PP#1 is indirect, on the downswing?

All I can feel from the top of the swing to impact is the maintaining of the bent right wrist and some sense of a non bent left wrist (not the feeling that my left wrist is flat). The feeling in my right hand is monitored in the 2 middle fingers of the right hand. From these 2 fingers I can feel when my right wrist straightens.

I have been trying to get the feel of PP#3 and PP#1 to no avail. Actually, when I try to feel PP#3 I always get throwaway (when swinging), casting on the downswing.

Monkutare , great handle by the way, to your first question , its up to you but normally if you are hitting #1 is direct drive, if you are swinging #1 is not being thrust against. Either way swinging or hitting , normally the #3 is not being thrust against but only senses the inertia. Its on the aft of the shaft like the seat against your back in the car. Inertia as opposed to a point which is thrust against. This Lag Pressure dissipates as acceleration slows or when the clubhead passes the hands making it very useful for monitoring thrust and also directing thrust when you Trace the delivery path of the clubhead through the ball with it.

With training the #3pp becomes an indispensable tool. To sustain the amount of pressure sensed is to maintain a rate of acceleration. Force = Mass X Acceleration. To direct it is to trace your desired clubhead path through the ball. Physics and geometry. Clubhead force and the path of the clubhead.

Lag Pressure ........Pressure......it isnt left hand wrist cock in a common golf speak sense. Nope.

Thursting against #3pp , can induce throwaway.......so it'll feel like lag pressure but it isnt. Its pressure yes but not due to inertia alone. That'd be the flippers direct drive of the #3pp. Its a false feel. Try maintaining the right wrist bend and sense the inertia at the #3 with just your right hand on the club for little chips and see if you can feel it. If you're like me you'll notice a correspondence between purely compressed , sweet contact and lag pressure maintenance. If you feel like you have maintained the amount of lag pressure through the ball but the shot is crap suspect throwaway, the false feel of direct drive at the #3pp. The right hand frozen in a bent position (appropriate amount of bend for the ball position at hand) will help with the throwaway. The right wrist does not straighten through the ball, it is not a source of power ideally , as it is often accompanied by a bending of the left wrist.

Sustain the Lag.
