Top things you would tell a golfer with overacceleration from the top

You're right I talk jibberish.

Ain't nothing loose about a moose as far as I can tell. They aren't graceful either. Probably not a good golfing image.

Loose stool would be the only distant possibility.

UPDATE: I went to the range today and got to practice for about 4 hours, here is what I learned. If I try to concentrate on maintaining PP#1andpp#3 all the way through the stroke it helps alot. If I watch the ball to the top of the swing, it helps. If I keep pivoting all the way through the stroke it helps. When I put all of those together I hit TOUR quality shots...Sick. I have never heard myself produce such solid, violent strikes, it's so fun. I tried Martins drill and that did not go well at first,shank city. I tried almost everything to make it work, but when I tried Richies/Kevins advice on monitoring the pressure points through the stroke, I started hitting low screaming rockets, right at the flag, that's fun:) I then went out and played 9 holes and shot my lowest 9 ever 37, not bad. Thank you to all but a special thanks to Kevin, Rich, and Martin. I owe you guys big time.
 
Hehe funny. :)

I was dead sober last night, in all honesty.

Currently sipping on port, admittedly.

And eating hot peppers.

Refresh my memory PP #1 & #3 are Bent right arm and turned left hand?
 
Refresh my memory PP #1 & #3 are Bent right arm and turned left hand?

PP#1 = the heel of the right hand (specifically where it meets up with the left thumb or the shaft).

PP#3 = first joint of right index finger (see Brian's grip instruction)

And, since you asked about those:

PP#2 = last three fingers of left hand

PP#4 = place where left arm contacts left side of body (think glover under armpit drill)

According to TGM lingo, swingers often like to monitor #2 and #4 (as they add force along the shaft), and hitters like to monitor #1 and #3 (as they add force across the shaft).

Richie was suggesting to VJ to monitor those "hitting" PPs.
 
I use SD elements to my swing. I had lots of force along the shaft and almost no force across it. The real key for me is thinking of LOTS and LOTS of lag pressure in pp1 and 3, or as Richie said, speed is pressure..that's a great description of my feel. Hope this helps.

or as Richie said, speed is pressure.

Not so, strictly speaking!

If, say, pp3 is moving at the same speed as the club shaft it is resting against, then it is not applying or even feeling pressure.

The pressure created by the inertia of the club shaft, as it resists any attempt to move it, is what pp3 would/should feel. And, in order to maintain that feel (or pressure), that inertia has to be maintained - i.e something has to be moving faster than the club shaft in order to create and then maintain pressure (lag) against it.

Ok,OK,Ok. I see what you are saying, and that is what I mean and I thought what I wrote suggested that. Yes, your description is accurate as to what I feel.
