Using a "test club" with the tip weighted to equiv. of club head mass and swinging this "club" flat on yhe X,Y plane , about the Z axis , with a "MACHINE" that either pulls or pushes as the TGM power package. The shaft will remain flat on the plane and the tip will either LAG or LEAD dependent on if it is accelerating or decelerating. (shaft will flex)this is due to tangential acceleration. And, there will be a SUBSTANTIAL radial force due to the radial acceleration.(shaft trys to stretch) A sensor located about where #3 would be can be used to sense the tangential acceleration but not the radial acceleration. AND the position of the TIP is unknown until PRACTICE has adapted the machine computer to compensate for variables. ie. the club becomes part of the machine. like any tool we use. pen, fork keyboard. sword etc. we just practice into automatic.
"Radial" and "Longitudinal" reference (TGM) the Pressure Point (Senses and Directs) Alignment with the Clubface at Release (Pulley). "Radial" is termed to describe the PP at Right Angles to the Clubface and "Longitudinal" is termed to describe the PP which is Parallel to the Clubface.
The Pivot, Power Package and Pulley all contribute to Angular Acceleration regardless of Hitting or Swinging. The term "Throwout" is used to describe the Clubhead being moved around the Pulley by Centrifugal Force (Radial Acceleration) while "Driveout" is used to describe muscular effort propelling the Clubhead around the Pulley (same Radial Acceleration). Regardless of Method, it is the "Pulley" that creates Clubhead Acceleration and not the type of Thrust or how the PP is Aligned to the Clubface.
Daryl, we are speaking physics. I am slowly developing the physics of the "sweet spot" . At this point I have not assembled the club only a "test club" . Radial is a vector from the center -Z axis as defined and tangential is in the X,Y plane at a constant redius from Z=0, X=0, Y=0.
If you have the Physics of the "sweet spot" please contribute.
#3 pp is, as the word is. a POINT. with dimension. only sensing one dimension. The radial sensing is apparently accomplished within the "checkrein" response an I find no specific ref. in TGM to this sensor

Off topic but I mention that the "tip" either lag or lead and lead is deceleration. No Lag! It has been talked about here, the forward bending shaft. I can see in many players what I will call a "faux lag" the right wrist does not maintain a fixed bend. It is easy to feel pp#3 by unbending the right wrist.

Can you point to golfers that don't unbend the right wrist?

Well- not off-hand, but, I paraphrase- " Throw or drive the right forearm, not just the clubhead, into impact with the selected degree of right wrist bend.." and then "Drag that wet mop" and also Impact fix.
I see so many video's where the elbow-stalls and A faux #3 can be easy to hold because the unbending right wrist is almost automatic and can even chase a NO LAG forward bent shaft and feel like LAG is still there.
Just the way I see it but I am still in the TGM envelope- I think??
