I have lost the proper PP#4 feel lately......trying the glove under the left armpit doesn't seem to work for me.......then read some of the archives at Lynn Blake forum.....seems that I was simply pressing my left arm against my chest.....WITHOUT pivoting my upper body and hips.........the proper feeling of tightness at the left armpit is PIVOT BASED....I was losing the connection of the left arm to the pivot.......lose the connection ....lose the swing.
I would rather say: Loose the synchronisation and you loose the swing. The connection can be tight or loose or almost absent as long as you manage to swing your arms with the pivot and not swing your arms around the pivot.

Bernt, synchronization is a better term than connection.
After review, it seems to me with rotated shoulder turn the PP#4 can be felt at the top of the swing......this would be for a lagging startup at adresss, however in the past few weeks I have been experimenting with impact fix for swingers and that involved a turned shoulder and PP#4 felt at address.
It was working well until I got "tired" and started to have zero pivot.
I now see why some players go between lagging takeaway and impact fix start up. Some days its just easier to reach "impact conditions" in the backswing rather than adjust it during address.
It is my belief that one needs more precise alignments to be at impact fix than non-adjusted address.
What if you thought about things along these lines?
If you keep the connection , the hanky tucked under the left arm pit, then the Hands will be moving at the same RPM as the Pivot. Only. But if you let the Pivot provide the initial turning power and then the Left Arm in turn accelerated away from the Pivot , "blast off" would not the Hands be all the faster for it?
There's more to that sequence of events in the golf swing but given that logic where should the hanky be when a golfer is at Follow Through, both arms straight? I'd say on the ground. Loading the #4 and hard is a good thing but you have to let it open up or fire.
I realize this is a contentious topic but thats the basic logic I apply to it.
Connection maybe a better term for minor stroke involving the left armpit with zero pivot.
With your Pivot , Zone One, Zeroed in a Minor Basic Stroke , would not the use of a Hanky also zero Zone Two, the Arms? Leaving you with only the Hands , Zone Three to move the club? The Peck Minor Basic Stroke 10-3-F or similar.
I agree about the hanky dropping. It has to drop if you complete the motion. The question is perhaps: When should the hanky drop? I think it should drop later (with regards to where the ball is) the more shallow shaft angle you have at impact. Thus earlier for TSP-ers than for EP-ers.
What if impact was at exactly the same location for elbow plane and turned shoulder plane singers? Would the handkerchief then fall at the same location after impact?
