Thanks so much for the thoughtful post. A lot of times I am so focused on loading #3 that when I don't initially feel it, I try to feel it by throwing hands at it - adding effort.
The left hand chips feeling #4 works very well especially if I feel like I'm float loading a bit, but this is also where I can overload it, fall behind and exert effort to try and catch up. Load and overload is a fine line and something I will monitor.
Another question, if dragging the hands from the top "feels" heavy, where does it feel heavy, as has been said before #3 & 4 is measured in oz. not lbs., so do I just need to adjust my definition of "heavy"?
Thanks again.
Make FULL practice swings with your left arm only no right hand on the club and no ball (like John Daly does). Just make the motion. Remember this is a SWING. So swing it back across your chest. Start your Downstroke from the ground up. What do you feel? Do you feel #4? (You about have to if you are using your pivot). Now experiment with the amount of loading. Load it light then load it heavy. Try a gentle change of direction from the ground up. Then try to speed it up and make your hips and feet move sharper. What do you feel on #4.
After you monkey around with it. Put your right hand on and hit a ball with your focus on the loading of #4. Remember it is a SWING or maybe even better a SLING. Allow your pivot to sling your arms and hands DOWNPLANE. The effort is DOWN DOWN DOWN and OUT. Your job is to SLING it DOWNPLANE and BUST UP the Plane Line. The job of your hookfaced club is to get the ball to go toward the target. Don't disrupt the orbit. You are LETTING the force SLING Down and OUT. The clubhead is just the weight on the string. The CLUBFACE is designed to DIVERT the force you have created (and hopefully not disrupted) toward the target because it is hookfaced.
