What the last does is get the left hip moving back and the right foot rolling in.

Substituting Foot and Knee Motion for the correct Hip Turn and Action is a universal flaw that leads to "Happy Feet and Knees". This gratuitous Motion does not CAUSE anything, and in fact, tends to disrupt the Action it was intended to produce.

Id like to nominate this post for immediate inclusion in The TGM Hall Of Fame. Perhaps a brass plaque on the wall. Im thinking of getting it tatoo'd on my upper legs so I can read it when I ever look down at address...... assuming Im in shorts. Ill silk screen it on some pants too for cooler climates.

Well, today I had been working on my posture through impact with the hold, release, and clip the dogs tail drill. I noticed that I was having two different feels between the great struck golf balls and the balls that were missing target a little. What I found is; I was transferring power back to my left hand on the down swing, so, I ask myself; self! is this correct? Well much to my amazement and the face the solid on line shot was what I wanted, I dug deep into the knowledge base to figure out how to achieve the correctness of what I had a great feel with. I remembered LB talking about the "NERD" left and knew dang well, I was on the right path. One would think that there needs to be level power in both hands, but in truth there is, in a weird science way that is above my educational level. What I found is that if I took it back with the right and back to the aiming point with the right, the clearing of the left side gave the left hand stability with out physically trying to use it. So, to stick with the thread category, you have to mentally train the right hand to be the performer. Pretty cool stuff if you ask me..

I am so happy! May I quote Kevin?


Educated Hands are those that can feel the resistance of motion -- CLUBHEAD
lag. If the #3 pressure point is lost then "LAG" cannot be sustained. The hands
must control the pivot! Have the #3 pressure point completely replace the
CLUBHEAD, take #3 to the ball. The heart and soul of G.O.L.F. Is developing a
swing based on the hands. Teach Hinge Action without Body Motion.


Did I mention that I am so happy? :laughing9

I cannot change many things about my body geometry but I can courageously change the educational abilities of my hands and power points!

Hey Patrick.

Luke aka Tuf, aka Ted Fort, aka PGA Georgia teacher of the year 2008, always likes us to say "Lag Pressure" as opposed to just "Lag". The former can be measured in psi, the latter having taken on a common golf speak connotation is often measured in degrees (of left wrist cock etc). They are not the same.

Lag Pressure is something you can (should/ attempt to) feel as it is a tell tale sign of good physics (acceleration, added mass etc) and geometry (flat left wrist, bent right etc). Since the #3 pp attaches to the club at the top of the Sweet Spot Plane the Longitudinal Center of Gravity it is the ideal thing to direct into the ball. It is both direction and thrust. Pressure Point awareness/anticipation can create these pressures even, where as pressure point black out tends otherwise. In this way Pressure Point awareness becomes golf concentration during the execution of the shot..........(planning , routing, praying etc having been taken care of earlier, in Preliminary Address).

Golf's secret is Lag Pressure. As such, when something is going wrong with your compression its the first place to look .... or feel.

Tonight I just kept throwing PP #3 at the ball with a hitting motion. Front arm back to parallel, pp# 3 to the ball and there is a significant repetition in hitting the sweet spot and increasing distance. :laughing9

Worked with woods, irons, chips and I'm sure it will on puts which is scary.

Before that, I simply dropped my elbow to my side and the ball went pretty far, but not as far as compared to using pp# 3!

Thanks! :golf:
