Swinging with pressure point #2
 

Hello Everyone,

I am pretty much new to alot of the pressure point ideas, but I have been trying a swing with pressure point #2 as best as I understand it, and have had really great results, I must say to almost my astonishing surprise.

Using the idea of the last three fingers in the left hand coming down into the ball, I've had the longest and highest iron shots using this method than any other I've ever tried, and the motion is almost effortless.

As you can imagine though I don't hit it clean every time, and was wondering for those who are familiar with this method of swinging, what other swing ideas do in corporate into the swing, most importantly for accuarcy.

Would you still do a hip bump to get on plane before bringing pressure point #2 into the ball?

Would your backswing be a shoulder turn or something else?

Thanks for any help

Concentrating and delivering Pressure Point #2, you're experiencing the "Wrist Throw", a Trigger for Releasing the Power Package.

With such a Strong Left Wrist Uncocking Motion into the Ball, the Hands Swivel into the "Hinge" or they may Swivel into the Impact. If done correctly, it's effortless because Centrifugal Force is brought to bear rather than muscular effort. The Wrist Throw needs to be coordinated to bypass the "Timing issues" you're concerned with. Hip Action is most often used which creates the Triggering "Automatically". By using an Automatic Trigger, you'll prevent "Fat and/or Thin" shots.

You need "Hinging" for Accuracy. Although the Wrist Throw almost guarantees "Horizontal Hinging", it doesn't prevent Over-swiveling into Impact or Clubhead Throw-Away (Bent Left Wrist during or after Impact). If you learn to Swivel into the "Hinge" and Hinge through Impact to Follow-Through, then your accuracy problems disappear.

Good Luck. By discovering the #2 Power Accumulator, you may have opened a can of worms.


ADVICE: for reading the Book. Don't view TGM as a book of secrets. They don't exist. Rather, consider the Book as explaining what Golfers have already done for centuries.

Daryl,

Thank you very much for your reply.

From what you say it appears the hip movement would carrying the hands into the swivel, where the hands would then release into the hinge thru impact. Would that be correct?

Looking at some Freddie Couples videos it appears he could be a possible pressure point #2 swinger, and the best as many people would say. Of course I have no idea for sure, but he does have the look.

I'm a little concerned about as you say, opening the can of worms. Would you be referring to a pressure point #2 swing in particular or now that I have become aware of TGM ideas there are many possible ways to go to learning a new swing :)

check out the Alignment Golf preview where (I think) Yoda demonstrates the left wrist uncocking/hammer drill, or better yet buy Alignment Golf. It is important to understand the difference between wrist action and hand action, especially when you are executing a swinger's sequenced release. Another thing that is important to "get" is what a "Flat" left wrist looks like based on your grip type. Freddie has a gemometrically flat left wrist but it is far from visually flat.

Okie,

Thanks alot for that. I'll take a look at Alignment Golf.

Yes

Almost all Pro's are #2 Pressure Point Swingers. Fred Couples uses Double Wrist Action and a Circle Path Delivery. Do you?


I'm referring to the Fact that you can't just have a few M&M's. And once you start to benefit from a little knowledge, it's never enough. You'll want more. Then the Law of diminishing returns comes into play.

Oh yeah, well I'm going to have to find out about double wrist action and circle path delivery. Sounds beautiful..!!

double wrist action.. very neat!

Thanks for the response.

On Chapter 6, it mention that the sequence of accumulators release must be #4 first. At the top for swinging, focus on pulling and the release of #4,is this shoulder throw?

Yes. But only if you Pull with the Pivot and allow the Arm to move away from the chest. If you pull with the Left Arm (Hand Throw) it negates the Shoulder Turn Throw.

#2 PP- #2 accumulator
 

The #2 accumulator is the true velocity accumulator. I believe this to be a critical element of understanding about #2 release. Maybe the most important element.
#2 release can change #3 rhythm and must be planned from the top??
