For y'all that employ the #1 pressure point to apply Extensor Action . . .
Do you feel the heel of the Right Hand STRONG against the Left Thumb at Address/Fix?
I was fooling around with this after reading this thread. Seems like if you feel active EF with PP1 you have almost welded the Right Forearm to the Clubshaft.

I am not sure what you mean by 'welded'... If you are say that it forces the alignment of the forearm to the shaft I would agree providing you are getting the left thumb around to the aft side.
At Fix, the right heel is not a right angle force on the left thumb for me, it is more at 45 or 60 degree downward pressure. It is enough that when I am using the hitting procedure to create the frozen bent right wrist. When using the swinging procedure I still start for Impact Fix and feel the right wrist constraint but not as prevelant during the stoke as with a hit.
One thing is for sure there is a different feel for this based on the RIGHT thumbs position. That right thumb needs to be wrapped over the top of the shaft, at least for me.
I wiil say one thing.....I know the importance of extensor force...but it sure is hard as hell to convince some of my students...they say it doesn't feel right....but we know it is right...so much for the arms swinging back and forth mindset...when you got "the stretch on"....It feel more like the dog(Pitbull) on the leash to me as described in the glossary......
I think I have been misguided. In effort to apply proper Extensor Action, I have unwittingly "stressed" my Left Wrist. The result has been a wrist that has not achieved its true fully-Cocked attitude.
Am I wrong that the "right side" e.g. the Right Forearm has the full resposiblity to maintain the structure of the Power Package?
This would appear to be the case since we are of course advised to employ a Left Arm that is essentially inert.
After an enjoyable afternoon of countless hours of playing Spiderman and Wolverine with Lil' Bucket Parfait, I was able to steal away to number 11 fairway to strike a few wedge shots. I feel that I have a firm grasp upon the 1st Imperative. So it was my intention to keep a relaxed Left Arm, the left elbow inparticular. As such, it was my right side that applied needed structure to my PACKAGE (uh hun).
Your thoughful consideration to the above would be much appreciated. I trust that you are having a pleasant Saturday evening. Very well then.
Nothing wrong with a little stretch below the surface......As a matter of fact when you've got the stretch it makes that Left Wrist action more noticeable....Lock in with the right .....monitor the left wrist/hand....#2 & #3 respectively.....
As you describe, pp3 first- as it snaps the wedges in line and then pp1 as the right elbow folds and cocks acc2. On the downswing pp1 til release (5.5), then pp3 into impact.
Educated Hands means they need to monitor a whole lot of things through the pressure points- all at the same swing interval. Depending on the Stroke- pp2 is uncocking at some point. PP3 is the clubhead as well as a passive or active pressure point. And I like to think of pp4 as “the Flat Left Wrist”- the ‘lower end’ of the accumulator. The Hands are the club.
