Aiming #3 pp from the top.
Jump in on this one guys. I know what TGM says and can trace to both arms straight. Personally, I must incorporate #1 pp or I am lost. Looking for ways to teach it better. A drill? A training aid? Your personal feel? Feel to Mechanics? Ha Ho! Thanks fellas

My personal tracing/feel
Quote:
Think of the right forearm pointing at the planeline and tracing it. Use the pp#3 or indexfinger as an alternative. This gives me the feel of the plane angle and it is a rehearsal for the attack angle into the ball. Training aids incl. lasers or dowels. Do a search and you'll find several threads. I use aiming point when actually hitting the ball. I'm a hitter using pp#1 for extensor action and thrust, but pp#3 (the feel of the lagging clubhead) for aiming. Dig it out of the dirt....... |
Training your #3 pressure point!

6-C-2-A THE ESSENCE of clubhead lag technique is that it is always both aiming and thrusting. The player must have the awareness to monitor through feel and be able to sense to location direction of their individual motions. Again, Mr. Kelley talks about this in Chapter 5 Monitor the Clubhead Deviery Line by "Tracing" along it with the Right Forearm. This is done as though a flashlight were lashed to the Right Forearm, with the #3 Pressure Point as the lens, causing its beam to move along the Reference Line (Study 4-D and 6-J-0). The #3 Pressure Point is a thread thoughout The Golfing Machine. Clubhead Lag Pressure is the Secret to Golf according to Mr. Kelley and it is simple, elusive, indispensable, without substitute or compenstion, and always present (6-C-1). There is more to be written about #3 Pressure Point. Tryhttp://www.pureballstriker.com. |
aiming #3pp from the top
Thanks! Everything mentioned is going to be useful. Forgotten about the flashlights. I will state right now this is a great site. I picked up and threw down the yellow book going back to the mid 70's.Went to a seminar around the same time at a Holiday Inn for $20 where a guy swung a stick with two flashlights. Made sense. But without guidance I continued half reading or misinterpreting information and found all sorts of ways to damage body parts. A guy named Joe years ago got me interested again. He got me to jump in the rabbit hole again. You all know Joe. Searching for the secret and even Mr. Blake was the teacher of the week. Gone to Doyle, Ledbetter, Haney and so on. He is so knowledgable he should just tape himself and figure it out. In closing, Joe directed me to this site, and it is good.

Way to go Joe!

pp#3
Thanks guys, I use #1pp along with #3pp. to aim. Sorry about being unclear. The question was really about students. I have used the pbs and it does increase pressure feel on #3pp and is very helpful. All the information you all have given is informative and will be useful.
