G’day Peter,

How’s the weather down under. Getting chilly I bet.

Before I put in my two cents, I would like to say that I’ve visited your website and admire the way you bring and continue to represent TGM to our Mates Down Under.

I hate to, but must disagree on a couple of points. I don’t think that the #3 pressure point should assist to help uncock the left wrist. Actually I think strongly enough against that procedure to recommend being consciously aware of not doing it. My interpretation is that the #3 pressure point is “dragging” and “aiming” only and any intention to do otherwise may result in bad impact habits and clubhead throwaway. Furthermore, if the right wrist remains level throughout the start down, release and impact, then one has a better chance to promote good hinge action and uncocking of the flat left wrist will occur solely as the result of centrifugal force.

In another post, you mention Hogan’s wish to have three right hands. In my opinion it’s because Momentum Transfer was slowing his hands and creating extra pressure against his right hand during the Roll Procedure. He would use his right leg and right hand, not pressure point #3 to push back. Of course the ball was in all likelihood almost gone before the message from his brain got back to his hands to apply pressure but I’m certain it helped him continue swinging through low point and beyond.

Straightening the right hand during and after full extension is not necessary. Properly executed Hinging and swinging through low point to full extension dictates a further hand roll which swivels them parallel to and back on plane but flattening the right wrist may be mostly habit or a residual force from pushing #3 through impact rather than pulling it. The right wrist may stay bent till the finish as long as the hands lead the clubhead. With short shots and vertical hinging the flattening need not occur.

Daryl,

I believe your interpretation of what Peter is saying about pressure point #3 is incorrect. Hopefully, if Peter reqularly checks this website, he can give you the facts. In the meantime, check section 10-11-0-3. For the procedure that Peter teaches, pressure point #3 is a passive indirect drive.
