What does this tell me?
My 2 cents...
Really hard to tell whats going on unless you have a faulty grip and the club is twisting in your hand from an off plane motion. Pressure point 2 is in the fingers, not the base finger knuckles.

Any previous injuries there? Any AI's ever looked at your motion?
Sounds like something to chat with Vickie about in the Fitness forum for a more detailed analysis.

Thanks for the advice. Is there an exact spot for the pressure point #2 or is it the entire finger, or would it be differant for differant swings/grips? I said knuckle to illustrate how far down my finger it was and that it was a small area, not just general finger pain. Where PP3 is on the right index, is where the pain is on my last 3 on my left.

No AI looked at my swing, but I think i will try get some video tomorrow so I can have a look at it myself incase anything obvious pops out.

Thanks again.
