[O.B.Left]

OB Left,

Thank you for your comprehensive response to my question.
I have some practice with clubhead lag with pressure point #3. I got a PBS from Jeff Evans and finally felt clubhead lag as a swinger. (passive pressure created by the weight of the shaft on pp#3-at least that is the way I felt it). I was very encouraged by the results.
However I have read a few hitters say that in hitting pp #3 is more active. That it is established at address (whereas it is established in swinging at the end of the backswing). And that in hitting, pp#3 is pushed into impact. You seem to be saying that is wrong.
If you can clerify any of this, I would be grateful.

Thanks,
Jim

Not sure how a hitter can feel sustained lag at address if the club is not moving. Certainly the pp #3 is awake during the address routine, sensing the clubheads moves during waggles etc. An on/ off of lag pressure as the club moves briefly in various directions. Is this what you are referring to when you mention "establish", maybe?

Normally the grip pressure at #3 is light so that you dont try to direct drive it. Hogan called the right thumb and index finger " the swing wreckers" for this reason and is on record as suggesting grip pressure be loose for these guys. His other pressure points were more than firm however. Luke advises to leave your finger prints in the grip for instance when hitting.

The hitter has to create lag pressure by directly driving the #1 pressure point. This lag is sensed at pp#3. To push against pp #3 directly is to create throwaway, or to push the clubhead past the hands, a lag killer. The grip end of the club speeds up which sends the clubhead end into a lagging position vis a vis the hands which is sensed at pp #3.

Here is a Luke post.
