Take your right thumb OFF the grip and point it at the target (or hover it in the air).

Hit balls.

Report back.

Straight line delivery path of the hands. Regard the Coke Machine drill in Confessions of a Flipper.

I hit some balls like that, about 15, but honestly did not have any different feel

Then you are over accelerating

Make a backswing. Have a friend put their fingertip on the sweet spot of the club. Drag your friends finger down to the ball. You will feel the #3 pressure point.

Tom,

This feel is exaggerated though correct? How strong of a sensation do you have in PP3 on a "full-bore" shot? Like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube? Or picking up a piece of furniture or something?

Best discussion this week. Can't wait to hear the answers.

What part of the right forefinger should you feel the lag? I do feel something in the right forefinger, but to be honest (as strange as it is), I actually feel slightly more pressure on the last three fingers/outside of my left hand (especially through impact).

I'm weird, I know.... I'm probably not doing it quite right or something.

I didn't start feeling #3 until I started to sense pulling back on the club with the right hand fingertips during the backswing, gradually releasing this pressure at the top, then starting to gradually push the club on the downswing with the first joint of my right forefinger -#3. Keep trying to increase the push all the way through impact.
I also had to lessen my overall grip pressure in the right hand before I started sensing #3. I used to have a death grip with both hands.

 

[Brian Manzella]

Modify the above drill by taking the right forefinger off of the club—just slightly—but with the same look.

Brian, Right thumb toward target is fixing my right wrist throwaway on chips. Awesome.... Awesome tip! It feels like its helping Horizontal hinge motion? Thanks
