"Mind in the Hands" is a video I made for Lynn- it talks about hitting the ball with the PP of the Hands. PP#3 is the clubhead- be careful not to be too active with it as it will produce "throw-away."

I learned to concentrate on hitting the ball with pressure points in the hands from a video featuring both Lynn and Ben. Is that the one you made? It definitely encouraged me to try and use my pressure points more in my swing.

This is what Lynn and all Hitters do. The Single Left Wrist Action loads Lag at the Top- shoulder height.

I invested over two weeks working on lagging according the Bobby Claimpett. I got additional distance and better more consistent ball flight. I hate to undo a something that has helped my game. I remember a video suggesting that the right elbow loads the hitters left wrist. But, I can do a lot more loading with Clampett's procedure and I have difficulty unilaterally giving back some of the lag I have been enjoying so much.

I wonder if it would be too much trouble for your to suggest what the advantage to me would be with the lagging method Ted Fort uses as a hitter that compensates for its disadvantage of a lower amount of initial lag loading?

A divot is produced in front of the ball becasue the ball is located UP PLANE and you are striking DOWN Plane to Low Point that is located just in front of the ball.

I believe Clampett suggests that low point be quite a bit further ahead than just in front of the ball.

Ben Doyle has drills in the bunker that teaches the student Lag, Thrust and Impact Alignments because the sand makes for a great visual aid. The drills are not meant to produce bunker shots- just teach. Ben teaches in the bunker all the time but not bunker shots.

That is exactly how the drill I was doing worked, which makes sense because Clampett learned from Doyle. I didn't do the drills to improve my sand shots. I did them to teach myself to move my low point further ahead. The strange thing was that after I did the drills, my sand shots improved as an unexpected bonus. Being able to sustain my lag much later, gave me the ability to hit much more powerful sand shots when the pin was a significant distance from bunker.
