Hi Hans and John! I think we are all on the same page
John, I get it, imho. My shorter front leg which I shift to like I think Yoda does , sort of presets #2 pp (last 3 fingers of left hand) because as I pull my left arm up with my right elbow, my left heel rises and I let it. My artificial left hip is stiff and planting or bumping forward slings the left arm in motion while I am simply focused on my right heel palm crushing into the ball.
Is it TMG logical?
I can do it regularly and want to do it better!

I felt immediately that it must be a good thing to add this little power to the extensor action push with my heelpad. When I tried at the range to combine pp#1 push with a small pp#3 pinch I got a fascinating feeling of control. The hit sounded like stonesmashing and I think I came to another break through in my swing. I have to add that I have begun to start my backswing slower and in more control.
Your description of what should happen and how it should feel is among the best I have read. I have though a question. At the end you give three alternatives. In the third you say that " while pushing hard with pp#3 opposing this direction". Does this mean that you still pull at the two ends of the rope at release?

It worked pretty well for a gentleman named JACK for a very long time!
Teach, EVERYTHING is TGM logical. No right, wrong, best. Focus on the imperatives and everything else is fair game. The fewer compensations the better, but you have to do what works for you and your body.
I really like the idea of starting with the basic pattern, 12-1, IN THE 6th EDITION, and make changes as needed from there.
