The usual poor shot is created by incorrect ressure point pressure. How could it not be?
Remember that everything that moves the club is channeled through pp#1, #2 and #3. Unless you have some counter productive pressure points not listed in TGM - for instance through a very odd grip.
BerntR,
Am I correct in saying that the pressure points don't exert the pressure, rather they feel the pressure?
PP4 .....I prefer to feel a tighten at the armpit with external rotation of the left humerus. If I just let it fall Im not using the pect major or the rotator cuff muscles particularly the supra and infraspinatus muscles. IMO this is what give a positive torque to the shaft and the full HH.
PP2......I have broken both my 4th and 5th metatarsal bones, so when my last three fingers hurt, I know I'm doing something wrong.
The left hand doesn't work as a whole unit like putting.
I get into trouble when my left thumb moves to the top of the grip and I zero out acc #3 and SWING. I wont be able to use PP2 to full potential and the back of my left hand hurts.
I believe in a stronger left hand grip to max PP2. Firm pressure on the last three fingers only. I found that the better utilization of PP2 cause blisters over base of the fingers.
PP3...and PP1.....well that would be another post.
How is force applied or exerted "indirectly" via the pressure points? This would seem to me to be something that cannot be felt in the real world. Something that is said to be real but not able to be felt.
Also, when swinging, how can you feel/monitor PP#3 when you are pulling (with the left hand/arm), especially when the focus is on the left side (hand,arm), not the right? To me, this is like the Emperor's New Clothes. Those that say they can see it just don't want to admit they can't see it.
pp#4 is indirectly. All power is channeled through pp#1, #2, #3.
To your second question. That you're not driving with your right hand doesn't mean that it'snt used to firm up the power package structure. PP#1 /#3 is important for swingers as well. If they use extencior action. Which they should do.

What BerntR said, plus............
the lag pressure felt on PP3 at transition (or before even) is monitored (felt) throughout the remainder of the swing - unless it is lost.
The hands work as a unit throughout the golf stroke, whether swinging or hitting. Pulling or pushing they are in it together.
What they said but.... Get in your car and accelerate till you feel some lag pressure on your back as it get presssed into the seat. Is it direct or indirect? Is the car being thrusted forward at your back/ seat point of contact?
So, when you are performing a swinging procedure, the pressure at PP#3 and PP#1 is indirect, on the downswing?
All I can feel from the top of the swing to impact is the maintaining of the bent right wrist and some sense of a non bent left wrist (not the feeling that my left wrist is flat). The feeling in my right hand is monitored in the 2 middle fingers of the right hand. From these 2 fingers I can feel when my right wrist straightens.
I have been trying to get the feel of PP#3 and PP#1 to no avail. Actually, when I try to feel PP#3 I always get throwaway (when swinging), casting on the downswing.

Reason: need to add one thing
Drag a "Wet Mop". Pressure Points can be trained to sense the Inertia of the Clubhead (the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest). PP's sense Clubhead Acceleration rate and direction.
When you drag a dry mop, you feel the weight of the mop head in addition to friction between the mop and floor and you can feel pressure in your hands. When the mop is wet and heavier, the greater weight and friction become leveraged against specific points in your hands; "Pressure Points". Pressure point training begins here.
Use your Pivot to Drag the wet mop and allow the inertia to leverage against each of the #4,1,2,3 Pressure Points.
Normally, the faster the Pivot, the greater the Pressure. But ultimate control is gained when you learn High Pressure - Low Speed, without throwing away the Clubhead.

The ideal – even with an Automatic Release – is to be very deliberate, positive and Heavy. Never Dainty. Shorten the Stroke, slow the Stroke or delay the Release until a positive Clubhead Lag can give the hands a heavy Clubhead to drive (or swing) against the ball – at all speeds.

Good stuff Daryl. Thank You!
From where I sit, the emporer is very well dressed, kinda looks like Polo.
