Lately I've been getting quite a bit of leakage or a little flip. I've noticed that when I really have to disengage the right thumb and forefinger(rt. handed golfer). When I do this it forces me to push with the right thumb pad and I get really good results.
Basically I'm completely taking the rt. thumb and forefinger off of the club. Has anyone else done this, or is this a bad habit to get into?
thx
concentrating on the #1 PP has helped me a lot. I was casting w/ the #3 PP,being to force full w/ it I think. I saw an entry over at Ritchie 3 Jacks site where as a hitter, he had done the same thing, focusing on #1 and it helped him big time.
I still sense the pressure on #3, but Im more actively driving #1 with great results...less throw a way and more rt arm, more distance and much better contact.
Great response from ColtsFan. Periodically I have that same problem with pp#3 and find if I use the Pure Ball Striker for a bit, I get back to where I want to be with #3. It is probably the focus as much as anything, but that tool is the best.

definately a focus thing...I lost my little PBS, I gotta call Jeff and order another one.
As a hitter you'll be ok as long as your driving the right arm through #1 and not taking too long of a back swing.
It can also be useful as a drill with basic motion to enhance the feel of #3.
Taking the forefinger and thumb off the shaft as a swinger can cause issues when you get to the top as the #3 moves to the V/pinch part of the right thumb and forfinger and supports the club at the top. With the right thumb and forfinger out of the grip you dont have this V/pinch so lose the club and have no #3.
