Thats a TOM Watson move, when actively push No.1 using the wrist early , will release no.1 too fast and thus making a wide pulley. Not advisable and its the incorrect way to make lag pressure. and the shots will be very high. Especially when the hand is uneducated, it will yield Throwaway. Also , need a pretty steep swing plane for this to work. start sweeping too early.

For a swinging.. this lag pressure is generally created by the change in direction, and Pulled by the pivot against the lag pressure point 4 1 2 3 . could be any combo or all.

for Drive loading, the lag pressure is created by the right arm driving actively pushing the left arm... Like pushing against a wall. 7-19, pushing against the back swing. ...

None of them use the wrist muscle actively. They are the worse muscle to use in golf . Unless you want throwaway.

Well, 99...would you believe....

Aw, just kidding.

Anyway, not really sure about your reference to pp#1. For me #1pp is part of the balance and alignment, through extensor action, in the backswing and shores up or supports the FLW during the impact zone.

I know what you mean about Tom Watson and I think, like you, that the left thumb used as a pp from his type of backswing would be tough to master. My swing is on a much flatter plane than his which allows me to push down rather than out (casting type direction) much more easily.

That being said, what I am attempting to do is get rid of the clubhead...first. Of course this is impossible as the dynamic weight (is that correct terminology?) of the clubhead becomes so heavy that the body parts are literally moved out of the way of that force. The key is the down/out direction the force travels. So it becomes, physically, mentally and visually a deliberate hit of the ball.

I have to say that the horizontal hinge action is the natural move in this swing type, which like you said, takes educated hands. If I need to use another hinge type I have to pre-program it before I start the swing. I don't feel like I'm using wrist muscles, just pressure points in an attempt to throw the clubhead down, out and through the ball.

Yes, I see what you mean about the high ball flight. If all I did was uncock, without full roll, the natural tendency is it will create an angled hinge. Good for some shots out there, tho.

The left thumb, if, labeled as Left Hand pp#3 (not to be confused with RH pp#3) then the full roll swing sequence would be 3 2 1 2 . RH pp#3 is felt but not active, for me.

Anyway, just thought I'd ask 'cause it sure feels like i'm hitting but in a more subtle way (due to pushing with the pp) than a full on right arm push.

'preciate the replys, very much, thanks!
