pp1 IS PRESSURE OF THE RT. PALM ON THE LEFT THUMB.PP#2 IS FIRST 3 FINGERS OF LEFT HAND. PP4 IS THE CONNECTION OF LEFT ARM AND SHOULDER.
CHUCK EVANS IS WORKING HERE AT THE MESA AZ. RANGE AND ASKING SOMEONE WHO KNOWS IS TOO MUCH FUN.
Thanks for DEFINING these. But what about giving me an example of APPLYING, say , pp#4. By way of example, you can use the sensing characteristic of pp#3 to monitor clubhead lag.
4D1,
The general idea on the Downswing is that the hands and, also, the left arm, beat the clubhead to the ball, i.e., the Clubhead "lags" behind the left arm and hands. This Clubhead Lag creates a feeling of heaviness or "presure point" that can be sensed and, therefore, monitored to be sure the hands arrive first.
As an example, take some easy, continuous warm-up swings using only the rotation of your torso to transport the arms and club on the Downswing. You should feel the rotating torso pushing the left arm along; if you don't feel it, keep your left arm inert and turn the torso a little faster. Where you feel the torso pushing the left arm is a "Pressure Point" (the #4 Pressure Point). You feel it because the Clubhead weight is lagging behind the left arm. Thus, you can make sure the left arm gets to the ball first by monitoring the #4 Pressure Point and making sure it always beats the Clubhead to the ball. In effect, the Pressure Point replaces the Clubhead as your point of concentration.
If you lose the pressure before the Clubhead gets to the ball, then you have lost the lag. Once you learn to have the Pressure Point(s) beat the clubhead to the ball, you are on the way to powerful, three-dimensional contact.
