This relates to something that has really helped me out. Kev nailed it, but if I may .....

I trying to wrap my head around the swinger's lag pressure.
For the hitter it is well describe as PP#3 aft side of the shaft with forward leaning shaft.

For the Drive Loader, 12-1-0 this is correct but it is possible to Hit with a Swingers Start Down, Drag Loading which would load the Knuckle under the right Index Finger during Longitudinal Acceleration in Startdown. The Lag Pressure Point would then Rotate to the first joint in the Right Index Finger during Radial Acceleration. Assuming your Knuckle and Index Finger are aligned to the Top and Aft of the Shaft respectively.

The swinger doesn't feel PP#3 on the aft side. Does't feel PP3 at all sometime, but in order for the ball to fly as far there is just as much force on the shaft as a hitter.
Question: where is this felt?

The Swinger, (any golfer for that matter) will feel Lag Pressure, given any acceleration, its just a matter of where he feels it. Which is a function of his "direction of loading" and his grip type. He'll feel the load with whatever is attached to the Top or Aft of the Shaft. At the Knuckle only as per 10-11-0-3 in Kevs post given a Week Single Action Grip. Or assuming a Strong Single Action Grip at the Knuckle during Drag Loading and then at the First Joint in the Index Finger during Radial Acceleration. The latter is the more common method and Homer's recommended grip type I believe. My cross handed buddy , who can really play (local Champion of Champions) must feel Lag Pressure along the finger tips of his left hand during Radial. Maybe loads his left thumb for Longitudinal ... I'd imagine, Ill have to ask him.


Check out Yoda's mega hit movie "Pressure Point #3 where are you? " starring Lynn Blake. http://lynnblakegolf.com/index.php/V...e-Are-You.html

Personally I love the way Homer described ........ "Remember, with Swinging, Pressure Point #3 must have a Feel of being rotated a quarter turn at The Top with Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A), just and only because of Loading Action direction – no actual movement of anything." To me that means the only thing being "rotated" per say is the direction of loading. Along the aft/finger or along the top/knuckle.

When Im Swinging from Adjusted with a Lagging Takeaway ......something I love these days......I feel like I am tossing the Club UP against the Knuckle . I get into trouble sometimes with a false feel for loading the Index Finger hard and early......something that takes me a bit too much IN, under plane on the backswing. Like a mini Nancy Lopez or Raymond Floyd move. It'll arch the left wrist too ......but I digress.

What do you guys think about the "Direction of Loading"? Have any of you goofed around with that bit of business? Dustin sure isnt loading his Knuckle is he! I sure like that guy though. Ben Hogan , now there's a Knuckle Loader then Index Finger.....just look at his grip. Its made to accept the Load, sustain it. "You get this pressure just going through".
