Nailing pp#1
 

Attachment 1779

Where on the base of the thumb should pp#1 be located?
Should it be over the bone indicated by the cross hatch, or is it OK to have it a little farther out over the joint. Because of the position of the thumb on the grip, using an overlapping grip,I find my pp#1 has a little give in it when pressing down across the shaft. Should this be the case?

Lifeline
 

PP#1 I'd say is in the hand.

The right hand fits onto the left when you have the right side of the left thumb following the lifeline in the right hand.

Where exactly?
 

I believe Scottgas2 is after a more precise answer regarding the position of the heel of the Right Hand where it touches the Left Hand thumb. Is it possible to put a cross on the image he has provided indicating the center of the #1 Pressure Point when using a 10-2-B grip?

No because it varies by person and Grip-Basic.

Taking the grip in impact fix alignments?
Right hand palm grip covering the base of the left thumb? Or turned under?
Overlap, single or multiple, interlock, reverse overlap, non-overlap?
Tight grip?
It varies by person.


The actual instruction is that PP#3 in line with the sweetspot defines "strong". And "Unless otherwise indicated, the left thumb is always placed on the same line as PP#3 and covered with the cup of the right hand palm. The thumb position encourages the ideal right wrist bend - identical to the accumulator #3 angle."

A hitter might want to try the 10-2-D grip which has "the left wrist turned to the top of the shaft so that wrist cocking motion is on the same line as the right wrist bend. The #3 pressure point and the left thumb are also on the same line as the right wrist bend. Strong double action."
Same as 10-2-C weak double-action for swingers, where the right wrist is rolled to the top and PP#3 is no longer in line with the sweet spot.

But according to the book the 10-2-B is the only one that will preserve the Flying Wedges.
