Question for Ted

[Weightshift]

You wrote (some time ago) "You really have to learn to DRIVE the #1 pressure point. I've given this advice a number of times, but it really works for most:
Place a penny in between the #1 pressure point and the left thumb. Try to keep the pressure applied against the penny during the whole swing(hit). Make the #1 the direct drive and allow the #3 to receive the indirect pressure. MANY try to make #3 the direct drive, and in the end, flatten the right wrist."

It might sound daft, but with both hands on the club: how do I pick up the penny? I'm not trying to be funny and really do appreciate your words of wisdom in the 'Emergency Room - Hitters' archives.

Regards, Alan

here's the link for the drill with vj and yoda video drill 1 http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/gallery...lls01.wmv.Note it is at the end of the video and the penny is used for other purposes in the beginning. Ted may want to add to that. You can see it can be done without needing help.

Is that true (driving the #1 PP) for both hitting and swinging, or primarily hitting?
