For the down swing in hitting the right index finger and thumb push down plane and the left index finger and thumb push up plane. The thrust from the right arm straightening is added and over powers the up plane push of the left index finger and thumb and provides the hitters release. This action also makes a slow start for the hitter a piece of cake.

Would this be EA at pp#3 instead of #1 then? Ive only read of this in connection to a chipping method where; starting at adjusted with EA turned off, the application of EA at #3 snaps the club shaft and the hands into impact alignment, the arms relatively still. Not so popular any more, most people starting at fix.

Where could I find your opposing pincher pressures in the book? Im trying to find it. Interesting application.

It is not in the book. Give it a try. I teach it to many golfers with success.

Should the "amount" of extensor action be proportional to the "amount" of pivot? (but always with EA slightly less than pivot power...I am not trying to quantify force here...just compare).

By that I mean that an inadequate , underpowered pivot can be overcome by alot of extensor action ... and then the right arm moves the left or...some throwaway begins...and that is less than ideal...

But if you want to have a really strong pivot..you need alot of EA to give sufficient structure to Power Package for the hand guidance system to work and control the pivot?

THese are just thoughts...not tested...thanks for any comments.
