Mathew,
By "work against the onplane pressure of pp3", do you mean it exerts force against lag? Just trying to clear the fog. I understand and am clear on the rest. Good post.
The force of extensor action with pp3 does not move the left arm and does not create clubhead lag - the stressing of the shaft.
PP4 works against the onplane pressure of pp3 until the spine tilts so that acc4 can thrust pp3 down the plane line. pp4 is trying to move the lever assembly out and pp3 is work against pp4 thats trying to take it offplane, the only way acc4 can move so that pp3 can trace that plane line is if the spine tilts and that right shoulder goes downplane.
Is this correct? For some reason, I have to get it into my own words to understand.
The upper torso must tilt and turn (pivot motion, right shoulder down plane) so that the #4 pressure point carries the #3 pressure point into release so that it can trace the plane line.
That's one reason (of many) that one cannot pull with the left arm only to start the downswing (a lot of topped shots).
It's just that I always thought the #3 pressure point is aiming from the top. Your explanation seems to work better.

The entire spine must tilt. The fact that pressure point 4 is working against the onplane pressure provided by extensor action means there is nothing else the body can do but tilt as pp4 is applied.
Thanks for your insights, but i'm a little confused. In previous posts i have seen people mention the 'bumping' of the hips tilts the axis. Does this mean that it is not the actual 'bumping' of the hips that should be concentrated on, rather the correct application of extensor action down plane. Which will then have the effect of sliding the hips and tilting the axis?

The hip motion is indeed what tilts the spine and its the pressure points which you should concentrate on. Extensor action is a non accelerating thrust which is always always on plane. As pp4 pressure then has to adhere to pp3 staying on the plane, it forces you to send that right shoulder downplane and tilt the spine and do the correct degree of hip slide.
