the index fingers of both hands are on a 'track' keep them on track through the shot
left index finger frisbee throw
In Hogan's grip, he stressed the right index finger and thumb stay pressed together, thus creating the 'trigger'.
The tip of your right index finger, of the 'trigger' can be used as a guide which PP3 will follow into the inside back corner of the ball, downplane through the base line, into the ground - just like you had a hammer and its 'face' was the tip of the trigger, the index finger.
Get a hammer in your right hand, then translate that feel to the tip of the right index finger.
When you get the feel for this, you will notice the lead hand pinky, the lead hand index finger, the 'interlock point' (if you interlock, also known as the 'rotation point and mirror point') will all be 'on plane' and 'on paralell tracks'.
The pinky and index finger of the right hand will be on paralell, on plane tracks.
More like an uppercut punch, but similar to skipping a rock, very similar in that the 'tip of the trigger' is your guide.
post impact you can either bend/arch (mirror point) or swivel (rotation point)
Either way, the feel is that the index finger of the lead hand is the same motion as a left handed frisbee throw, and the tip of the right index finger is your guide to send PP3 downplane through the inside back corner.
Hogan had a few big keys, a few big secrets. Plane. Driving the right knee and the tip of the right index finger, the left thumb under the shaft. Lag pressure. The arch of the left wrist, page 102 of 5 lessons, pure swinging of the club and pure balance. Downplane, into the dirt. Long, wide, thin divots.
A drill that may help folks get a better understanding of the right hand, of the flail, and of lag pressure, and of the 'head of the hammer'-
go to your kitchen and get a wooden spoon
point your right index finger out in front of you, and hold the end of the spoon between your thumb and the side of your middle finger, near the top joint. The spoon will 'hinge' between the thumb and middle finger, and be 'in plane' with the index finger.
If you allow the hinge to move freely, and align either the edge of the spoon to the plane of the index finger, or the face at 90 degrees, you can use a gentle swinging of your right hand back and through, like an underhand toss, to show you how the right hand works, the 'skip of the stone' and the 'uppercut punch', as well as the 'loading' against the index finger, the 'head of the hammer'. You will also be able to 'trace the plane line'. This drill can work well with a laser pointer instead of the spoon, but the spoon is very helpful in showing the 'clubface'.
