The usual poor shot is created by incorrect ressure point pressure. How could it not be?
Remember that everything that moves the club is channeled through pp#1, #2 and #3. Unless you have some counter productive pressure points not listed in TGM - for instance through a very odd grip.
BerntR,
Am I correct in saying that the pressure points don't exert the pressure, rather they feel the pressure?
How is force applied or exerted "indirectly" via the pressure points? This would seem to me to be something that cannot be felt in the real world. Something that is said to be real but not able to be felt.
Also, when swinging, how can you feel/monitor PP#3 when you are pulling (with the left hand/arm), especially when the focus is on the left side (hand,arm), not the right? To me, this is like the Emperor's New Clothes. Those that say they can see it just don't want to admit they can't see it.
pp#4 is indirectly. All power is channeled through pp#1, #2, #3.
To your second question. That you're not driving with your right hand doesn't mean that it'snt used to firm up the power package structure. PP#1 /#3 is important for swingers as well. If they use extencior action. Which they should do.

What BerntR said, plus............
the lag pressure felt on PP3 at transition (or before even) is monitored (felt) throughout the remainder of the swing - unless it is lost.
The hands work as a unit throughout the golf stroke, whether swinging or hitting. Pulling or pushing they are in it together.
What they said but.... Get in your car and accelerate till you feel some lag pressure on your back as it get presssed into the seat. Is it direct or indirect? Is the car being thrusted forward at your back/ seat point of contact?
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.

Reason: need to add one thing
Drag a "Wet Mop". Pressure Points can be trained to sense the Inertia of the Clubhead (the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest). PP's sense Clubhead Acceleration rate and direction.
When you drag a dry mop, you feel the weight of the mop head in addition to friction between the mop and floor and you can feel pressure in your hands. When the mop is wet and heavier, the greater weight and friction become leveraged against specific points in your hands; "Pressure Points". Pressure point training begins here.
Use your Pivot to Drag the wet mop and allow the inertia to leverage against each of the #4,1,2,3 Pressure Points.
Normally, the faster the Pivot, the greater the Pressure. But ultimate control is gained when you learn High Pressure - Low Speed, without throwing away the Clubhead.
Quote:
The ideal – even with an Automatic Release – is to be very deliberate, positive and Heavy. Never Dainty. Shorten the Stroke, slow the Stroke or delay the Release until a positive Clubhead Lag can give the hands a heavy Clubhead to drive (or swing) against the ball – at all speeds.

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.
