How would you "fix" someone that loses Pivot Lag and thus loses the sensitivity in the #3 pressure point? What is the best way to patch the tire without pumping it up every morning? How does one halt the Backstroke with the Hands/Mind effectively? I think you are on the essence of things here. Super job! B You could patch it yourself, take it to a Mechanic, put on the spare, buy a new tire,buy a new car..... wait you were just using that as analogy, let's get back to golf- which isn't too much different- 1) It's not easy to "fix" that for your own game, with all of your feel and awareness, let alone teach someone to repair that issue. For me, that's an important starting point- that some of these applications are and can be elusive, so I'm not sure I could fix it. I would use everything available. Realizing the two essentials, if the geometry is off or if the physics loading/acceleration is off- then you're going to have a problem. How's the structure? Is anything un-golf like? Are you supporting the load at the top (7-3)? It's a puzzle for sure! Are you "just" focusing/isolating the feel of #3- and ignoring everything else?- If you are- I think that could be a problem and cause of not having pivot lag- you've got a wealth of sensations flooding through on that "canvas", you're not ignoring them- you're just putting them in their proper hieracrchial order- that is the hands control the shaft, head, face- so make sure you know what's going on there- the other feels, sensations are a result of that movement or goal of hitting the ball and are also important. How does one halt the Backstroke with the Hands/Mind effectively? I think that pretty much happens. But all of the above really applies. That's it for now, Mike O.
