I did not have much of a clue about the PP's prior to reading here, I was just looking for a way to hit more solidly. Today I had my second mental breakthrough, first I had with the left shoulder stuff, today with the PP#3. Probably my grip with the right hand is a bit more under the club that's why I feel pp3 is tiny below 1rst joint of the right index finger. I start to feel the load I put on the shaft there and once I feel the load, I can predict a good hit on the sweetspot. Unluckily that happend in my backyard hitting into a net, so I can't make any testimonials about the ball flight, but solidly I start to hit clean shots. After a while experiencing this feeling I couldn't resist to try it on the lawn, and et voila, nice divots, rather thin, I think that comes from the extensive mat practise, but none of the divots was deeper then a quarter of an inch, from 8 iron to 5 iron. My first impression is "shake it baby" I hit the backyard tomorrow again every now and then to inhale more of this feeling. Thanks to all of you, this is really great help here. Cheers Frank PS: does anybody now the book "Homer Kelley's Golfing Machine: The Curious Quest That Solved Golf"? i thought it would be good to something on a higher level as well. Welcome Frank! I really enjoyed the Curious Quest as it gives a lot of insight into why the book was written the way it is. I also really like some of the things written in the foreward by Steve Elkington, a real testament to the validity of the book. It helped me a lot to spend time in Lynn's section here, the chapter by chapter breakdown of discussions. It really personalized Homer's work for me. Take it slow Frank, there is a LOT to learn, it's a journey, not a crash course... Kevin __________________ I could be wrong. I have been before, and will be again. ALIGNMENT G.O.L.F.
