I didn't know any of that. Whoa, that seems way deep for me.
Does that include Swingers? Is it Optional?
That's cause I just made it all up. Even I don't understand it.
Swingers drag load, longitudinal , knuckle then radial first joint.......first joint in a passive way.
But here's something I've been noodling.....a swinger loads against the knuckle loads the left wrist, the hitter the first joint the elbow right? We tend to think in terms of Top vs End, quarter turns or whatever but what about half shots?
Surely the Hitter senses lag against loads against the first joint and swinger against the knuckle for these little shots?
If you've seen the amazing hogan in mexico video where in the later shots he's hitting these little drag loading half wedge shots that'd make you drool with envy........ He's loading the knuckle. So as Homer said it's really all a product of the direction of loading! So I'm thinking if your a drag loader per 10-19-C throw it against the knuckle......I think thats what Homer thought Hogan did and it does look like it to my eye.
Hmm? Made it up? I wish I would of thought of it. It's such a simple adjustment.
I've done some experimenting with the First Joint of the Forefinger vs. the Knuckle. I haven't found a problem with it. Actually, I like it. It seems more "finesse", more precise and needing very passive hands. It creates an urge to drag the Club.
The Loading Force is still toward the Knuckle but with the shaft resting on the fatty part of the finger which is now between the knuckle and shaft.
I was standing at the cash register at Yodas preferred breakfast spot near the swamp.....can't remember it's name , a country kitchen that does a great job.... I asked him where EXACTLY was the #3 and he grabbed a straw and placed it right in he crease of the first joint ! I had always thought it was the pad between the joints. I was wrong.
I have read (or implied) the same interpretation of PP#3 as OB Left presented. So my only surprise here is that he now claims that he has invented it
O.B. Left claims to have made the other stuff up.
Quote:
For the Three Barrel Hitter the lag pressure point will always be the first joint, for the Four Barrel Hitter who Drag Loads in Startdown ........he'll sense Lag at the Knuckle during Longitudinal acceleration and then at the first joint during Radial Acceleration.
O.B. Left gave YODA credit for inventing it.

Cracker barrel?
Pardon the interruption. This (#3 pp ) is something I work on a lot.
I totally agree with EVERYTHING that O.B.Left said. With one personal caveat. I place #3 in the joint but I feel #3 in the pad above the joint (or under the first joint when dragging before release).
For me, there are 2 parts to #3 pp, position and “feel”
I think the position element has been communicated well and to me it is EXACTLY as OB LEFT and YODA communicated it.
The “feel” element has been described so broadly, maybe because it is called “Pressure point” which implies club moving force.
To my feel, #3 pp, is like your eyes are for drive a car. It is the ONLY thing that is sensitive enough to precisely locate the chub head/shaft/”sweet spot” (I put quotes around sweet spot-but that is another topic).
When you are driving you can take your eyes off the road briefly. The more and the longer you do that the less accurate you drive the car/mc Etc.
I can remove #3 from contact with the club at any point and replace at will. Nothing lost if the off time is short and not at a “critical" location /transition. Because, FOR ME, A hitting motion is #1 driving the HANDS “down plane” and swinging is #4 dragging my WRISTS through the ball.
