I had posted a question about this in another thread, so as not to threadjack, I will start my own.
- I have Yoda's DVD's and have seen all the vids and have the other PP's pretty much understood.
But PP#1 has me baffled, Yoda and everyone says that PP#1 is directly behind the shaft. However, when I take my grip, my left thumb sits more on top and slightly aft on the grip. Then my right hand goes on and that life line is more on the top to the aft-top of the shaft and I don't really "feel" a lot of pressure. At impact fix with FLW my PP#1 seems to be more on top of the shaft.
I have always tried to keep the thumbs and first fingers together, the ole hold a tee in there drill.
Yesterday I experimented just holding the club with my left thumb a little farther away from my first finger and more toward the backside and not top of the grip. Then when I put the right hand on I was able to definitely feel that bulge of the left thumb in the right lifeline when I did some waggles.
I need some guidance here. How could anyone who's grip was even the slightest bit weak with the left hand ever have PP#1 behind the shaft? If I take my normal grip and try to come down with PP#1 behind the shaft, I would be throwing the hosel into the ball it looks like.
