Evening all,Im getting frustrated ,Im trying very hard to get the feeling of lag in my swing,also having problems with getting consistancy with driver and long irons,not to mention understanding TGM book,lol,I practice every day with short shots etc,I use basic drills by hitting through two trees that are close together to a pin,luv it.works very well,but when I get to d/swing with longer clubs it all goes pearshaped,I do have a couple of questions if I may,
1...how essential is the acc #4 for hitters
2...would this assist my search for lag
3...do you have any drills for downswing
thank you in advance
I think this is a good subject/question could we cover it for Swingers and Hitters?
I think #4 is huge as far as setting up the down plane orbit of the club too. But it is a difficult pressure point for me because it ain't in the hands.
If your intent is to hit, AND you struggle with woods/long irons I wouldn't give Accum #4 a lot of consideration.
Ask yourself why you are having trouble tracing a straight plane line with the right forearm and PP#3. (Is it really that hard to trace a straight line?? Maybe factors are preventing this necessary act.)
Study the text and pictures of 8-1. Study 6-C and clubhead lag pressure. Go to the index and look up "roundhousing" or something like "clearing the right hip."
Go ahead and trace a straight plane line, and do not allow yourself to fail (just as you wouldn't allow yourself to miss your cup of coffee - you'd grab it every time - no matter if you had to stand up, reach behind you, stretch way out, etc). Compare your body motion to 8-1.

Holla!
As a pressure point is merely contact of the left arm and shoulder. As an accumulator it is rotation of the body.
Happy to report that problem fixed (today anyhow lol) I found that I was swinging too high ,out of plane,I found that I was lifting club more up, than up on plane throwing swing out of balance,hope you follow me,hit ball long and straight again,only thing is now ,I feel they are a bit on the high side,Im not rolling enough,I think .My back is still sore so I,ll tackle it tomorrow,Im d/loading hull video now and will veiw it tonight.Thanks again Guys
