Peggy Kirk told us in Pine Needles that "Ben" told her that the right forfinger- pp#3 to us- was very important in ball striking. Let it be pushed- don't let it push.
6b can you elaborate please as I feel that this may be part of my current problems.

Thanks.

I looked at a lot of pictures of the right finger off the shaft. Althought
the end and middle of the finger is off the shaft, I don't believe that
the #3 pressure point of off the shaft. I tried hitting lots of practice
balls with the right finger open but the #3 pressure point against the
shaft and it worked fine. Hogan mentioned in the Coleman Estates
video that the right finger had to go forward through impact and
not to the inside.

Peggy Kirk's quote is simply saying that Ben recommended PP#3 should be passive rather than active.
And, although he uses a double negative, I think Vikram is saying the same thing when he says he is
“ ..quite happy shooting under par rounds without those two fingers actually not being pressurized at all.”
Vikram is this your understanding? Should we have a passive "King"?

Pressure Point Three is the King of all Pressure Points.

As Homer says and Lynn teaches, replace the clubhead with PP3. PP3 monitors the Acceleration rate and Direction of the clubhead – it senses clubhead Lag.
It is also part of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge and as such should never destroy it by pushing against the shaft and changing the flat left/bent right wrists of the FWs. It is not the job of PP3 to control the clubface, Hinge Motion or Rhythm. That is a Left Hand procedure. Acc#3 should whip PP3 around after impact by the Endless Belt. PP3 should not move the club in any rhythm fashion- just let it mash down hard on the ball as part of the right half of the FW. It should never go beyond the Flat Left Wrist.

When used wrong PP3 can cause a lot of throw-away.

Long-winded I know Burner - hope I answered 'something.'

Thanks, Mike. That clears the matter up nicely.

Keep pressure point #3 trailing PP #1 and you have it all in place. ALWAYS works !!! Then you have a Flat left wrist and bent right one too. BINGO.

And are these pressure points preceded by what Hogan believed was the ‘active’ pressure on the heel pad of the Left Hand?
