"Basically I came down that for me I need to use the 'palm heel strike into the base joint of the left thumb' while keeping the right elbow close to the body (still a punch elbow, but not straying away from the right rib cage).

I then started to use a right forearm takeaway waggle before the shot. This helped me sense the #3 and the #1 Pressure point as well as the right elbow. And I was back to puring the ball again.

Can't wait to play again tomorrow."

3Jack,

Good stuff. I appreciate two things above, your description of the palm heel strike into the base of the left thumb [safer imo in trying to maintain lag pressure than over-focus on the PP3] and the practice right forearm takeway waggle. I'm trying to learn TGM while still maintaining my enjoyment of on-course playing. Like you, when I get the right forearm onto plane correctly and maintain lag pressure correctly, resulting shots are often so astonishingly pure that I absolutely grin my way around the course. Thanks for sharing. -- JC
