Hi, I'm ICT, a grateful owner of a left forearm and # 2 pp!

PP#2 is the life blood in my game, from t to green. If it's not alive and kicking at impact it is throwaway city, compression leak, flipping, missed putts, duffed chips and two shots in the bunker. PP#2 is to me the chief guardian of Homer's first big discovery: The flat left wrist. Also, it is the supervising monitor of rhythm and the leverage from accumulator #4. My left wrist always know how I'm doing.
I can lose pp#1 and pp#3 lag pressure big time and get away with it for quite a few holes. But if I loose pp#2 pressure I've got no game.
Even though pp#2 is protected by a glove, that's where I get the biggest golf blisters. The two middle fingers have one each, then there are two more in the palm of the hand, following the extension of the ring finger and yet another at the extension of the long finger. If I hit hundreds of balls on the, it's the left forearm - the muscles that powers pp#2 that gets the hardest workout. And the better I strike the ball the harder workout they get.
Since experimenting with the Moe Norman tapes, I have become acutely aware of my left forearm and # 2 pp! When my head is stable (physically, not emotionally, though that helps, too), I count on # 2 pp to hold my flying wedges in place and make the ball go "wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" all the way to the hole!
