Kevin sent a diagram to me that helped me realize that even I can't screw-up the basic geometry of my body!

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.

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!

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.
