Which is a bit similar to extencior action except that it is active and not just structural support.

Has anyone found any statement by Hogan that refers to what he meant by 3 right hands? If the Pivot Drives the Right Forearm and the Right Hand Drags the Club, would someone say that they want 3 right hands. What if you were pulling a heavy cart?
My #3 Pressure Point, on occasion, returns to the aft side of the shaft. When that lucky moment happens, I too would like 3 right hands. It "Feels" like my right hand was going along ok, and then suddenly went under-water. It's additional resistance to overcome. It's like my right hand is slicing through the water with a right hand Karate chop, and then, when my Right Hand rotates and faces down the Angle of Approach, it's like trying to "Push" an open palm directly against the water.
I don't know; I'm thinking again.

I think (that qualifies my comment) that Hogan talks about this where he mentiones the "two handed basketball throw"-AND- trying to break the bulls eye. like "drag the wet mop". I am more and more convinced that #3 pp is ONLY for sensing. IT NEVER moves the lever assembly. If #3 pressure gets to high (a pressure) it is due to poor release. When the impact bag is used- Hold against the bag- not push the club head against the bag but hold your lever assembly against the bag- ALL the way down to your feet.
None of this is Hogans EA
Again - just my feel

I'm saying that my hands slow because of Throw-out. I don't always have that amount of precision. But when I do, the Hand slows and I'm forced to push a little. I'm not pushing against the #3 PP. I feel the Slowdown with my Right Hand. I'm pushing with the Palm of the Right Hand to resist the Slow-down.

I think (AGAIN just me thinking) that is exactly it. the trying to keep hands moving. I think that is why Hogan wanted more hands

Then we're on the same page.  I hope it's the right one.

I love that super heavy inertia feeling.
I push with pp#1. But that's hardly a secret by now
Unfortunately I am not able to pruduce that kind of action on every stroke. Far from it.

Thanks for this discussion. I am taking it in and ruminating.
Some time ago I was trying to really stress pp#1 and usually liked the feel as well as the fact I was maintaining my flying wedges and some lag for the first time in my life. Sometimes shots would be a bit to the right and in the beginning that didn't matter since I was striking it so well, but it then became a concern.
Focusing a little more on #3 straightened things out quite a bit and I have been actually hitting more targets, greens especially, than ever before.
Then I noticed my left hand was getting a little too weak and my grip alignments were a little off. If it isn't one thing, its another. I am not complaining though, because now I actually have a bit of a clue what to do to make a correction instead of a compensation.
Geez, I love this TGM stuff.
