Swinging and LAG howto?

[comdpa]

Yodeli, take all my advice with small amount of caution - i am only learning student like yourself . Comdpa and others can "walk the walk" as well as "talk the talk"!

My journey into the valley of sustained lag has begun recently and i am heading towards Sergioville! Sensations in my pp3 are new and exciting but results are erratic at the moment.

If we are travelling similar road and at a similar stage i believe that the next step is DIRECTING that PP3 thrust. This is something that seems to be working for me at the moment.

The sensation i need to feel is more pp3 DOWN than i ever thought was natural... maybe try that for you - can't do any harm... remember

6-E-2. THE AIMING POINT CONCEPT
"... because The Machine deliv¬ers the #3 Pressure Point to Impact Fix Hand Location AT IMPACT with all Delivery Paths, Delivery Lines, Pulley Sizes, etc. because its structure is designed to do just that; ... The Aiming Point replaces the ball so you no longer direct the #3 Pressure Point at the Ball but at he Aiming Point just as if it were the Ball - like an explosion shot from sand....

Three procedures are available:
1. Move the Aiming Point forward or aft of the established Ball location. This Aiming Point procedure seems more easily acquired if introduced as a Feel. At the top of the Backstroke, even at the End (10-21-C), mentally construct a line from the #3 Pressure Point to the Aiming Point. Let a careful Downstroke direct the thrust precisely along this line. Hitting or Swinging, direct the #3 Pressure Point strongly downward, per 1-L-9, 1-L-10, 2-J-3 and 6-C-2-A, to ensure the "Downward" element of Three Dimensional Impact (2-C-0). That is: TRY TO DRIVE THE BALL INTO THE GROUND, NOT INTO THE AIR. If you don't KNOW that you hit down, assume that you didn't. The Hands must ALWAYS take one of the Delivery Paths (10-23), but even withh the Circle Path, the Thrust is still a straight-line EFFORT toward the Aiming Point. And even "Tracing" (5-0) must not disrupt it;

BOLD by me, CAPITALISATION by Homer!

I love to read this section about aiming point... i am sure that 6 months ago i just did not get it, even now i am not master of the concept but it is starting to help me forget about the ball and feel more in the hands!

The Aiming Point is the ball itself if ball position changes.

The Aiming Point changes if ball position is constant.

The Aiming Point is the ball itself if ball position changes.

The Aiming Point changes if ball position is constant.

On the first one . . .

The Aiming Point COULD be the CONSTANT . . . . for example . . . let's say that you want your release point feel to be the same for ALL clubs. So the Aiming Point would be approximately the ball for a 5 iron. So then you adjust the Ball Position in relation to that selected Aiming Point for the 5 iron. Adjust the ball BACK for shorter clubs and FORWARD for longer clubs.

Spot on there Bucks...
