Awesome post about "Pressure Points" & Great question, D.J.

Brian, you said:
You should have #3 Pressure Point pressure if you are rotating the left arm correctly, AND if you are "ahead" of the clubhead.

I assume this isn't dramatically different for Swingers and Hitters? Backswing is a diff story, esp in being able to feel PP3 right? However, I'm kinda confused because the the hitters "thought" is that there isn't a lot of left arm rotation in the downswing? :confused:

each pressure point is with a corresponding accumulator, therefor the load of #3 occurs when the club has moved out of its in-line condition with the left arm, hitters are resisting the backstroke with the right arm, while the loading direction for swingers causes the feel of #3 to be "rotated" to the top of the shaft and knuckle and then drug with the pivot, while for hitters it remains on the aft location

In general, I was talking about WHY the #3 Pressure Point is the Number Three Pressure Point.

It is because if you try to rotate the left arm, and there is resistance, there is pressure on that right forefinger knuckle.

Most folks don't realize that—including some "so-called" book experts (until I pointed it out). Most folks just focus on the CLUBHEAD LAG pressure point that the #3 can be as well.

For someone who employs MORE #3 accumulator angle (LEFT ARM ROLL) just prior to impact, they will feel MORE pressure there.

For someone who employs less, they just feel the Clubhead Lag pressure.

Got it?

Not exactly. Read above.

(Non book readers, need not pay any attention to this stuff. ;) )

perhaps the out of line condition with left arm was a poor choice of words at attempt to make it easier to understand...yes it is the roll of the angle formed between the left arm and club
