Pp#2
Could someone help me sort out where PP#2 comes into play for swinging procedure? Or does it? Am I right in thinking when left arm is passive if you attempt to apply pressure other than selected hinge action pp #2 will that disrupt centrifugal force of club path?
thanks

#2 is very important in swinging, sorry, I don't have the book with me for references. #2 cocks on the backstroke, and centrifugal releases it.

#2 and #4 are the pressure points the book advises focus on for swingers. One thing messed me up, I tried to create pressure on those points. The centrifugal force of the swinger will cause pressure to be applied at #2. If you squeeze those last three fingers, you could have problems squaring the club face. I try to make sure it is the swinging motion that puts pressure on those fingers. Monitor pressure points, do not create them artificially.

thank you that makes sense. I believe Im doing the same. That helps sort some things out in my mind. Having trouble w/ as you say creating these pressure points artifically Im sure of it. I was confused w/ fact I guess if youre pulling w/ upper left arm how could you create pressure at pp#2 w/out altering club desired path from centrifugal force.
thank you

Sorry for my rookie mistake guys. I see PP and my brain says PA. What a bonehead response. Dodger was right on, as usual.

Each Power Accumulator has a similarly numbered Pressure Point. Swingers primarily concern themselves with the #2's, Hitters with the #1's.
In TGM the left arm is inert Swinging or Hitting via Extensor Action.
Hinge Action is an action of the entire left arm designed to keep the left wrist (the clubface) perpendicular to one of the three basic planes (the ground, a wall, the inclined plane) for clubface/shot shape control.
Words seem so confusing again. Basically Swingers actively uncock their left wrist cock and feel it in the associated pressure point. Hitters actively uncock their right elbows and feel it the associated pressure point. But Lag, "Golf's Secret" is sensed, indeed nursed in its associated pressure point, PP#3.
The pressure points are really what its all about and monitoring them becomes golf concentration in its highest form.

I don't get it; " Kudos ?". For what?
I give OB : For Originality
For Answering the Question
And, for Memorization

Monitor the pressure points. As a swinger or hitter, this is vital. I misread this at first and construed it to mean the application of pressure at those points. Glove under left armpit, squeeze #2 and press on #3. It did a great job of preventing swivel, causing throwaway and roundhousing. If you swing and use your right shoulder correctly on the downswing, it places pressure on #4 that causes blast off. The inert left arm does not do this, the right shoulder pivot does it. Uncocking the left wrist into the ground and then rolling puts incredible pressure on the last three fingers of the left hand. Homer Kelley reccomended a firm grip, because of the pressure caused by the orbiting club and application of accumulators. This is a lot of force, if it does not create the pressure to be felt, it is unlikely that it has been created or it is lost. Once lag pressure on the #3 pressure point is created, you feel the pressure in your hands, your hands do not apply it. They are clamps, the stress comes from the energy applied to them.
