[O.B.Left]

I think it has to do with 10-3 Elbow positions. Punch for hitting (piston downplane toward the ball), pitch for swinging (skipping rocks onplane).



Drew, or someone in the know: Please elaborate on the EA through pp#3 and EA through pp#1. Why is the first superior to the other?

Hey Thom Ill give it a shot if you dont mind.

IMO, EA via pp #1 is the superior method for full shots. EA at pp #3 being more of a short shot technique where starting at adjusted address the application of EA at #3 straightens the clubshaft AND the left arm in line thereby flattening the left wrist and bending the right. A short shot Loading Action although not so popular anymore, most people starting at fix with impact hands.

This procedure if improperly executed may cause Throwaway however. Per 6-B-1-D Homer advises; " In which case, use only the #1 Pressure Point and pull on the Left Thumb to then hold AT LEAST the Left Arm in-line and retain Power Package structural rigidity." (caps by me)


I may be wrong, but I think this all has to do with increased grip pressure at the #3 pressure point promoting its incorrect use in a direct drive manner as opposed to its normal indirect drive with light grip pressure. The #3 normally only sensing the lag not driving the back of the club. Of the three pressure points in the hands only #3 is indirect the others #1,2 are direct drive points of contact between the Power Accumulators and the Club. Clubhead lag as sensed at #3 is not a Power Accumulator as its release is a loss of power. It has no release point. Any attempt to release it causing a shortening in the swing radius via a bending left wrist, Throwaway.

How'm I doing?
