I was standing at the cash register at Yodas preferred breakfast spot near the swamp.....can't remember it's name , a country kitchen that does a great job.... I asked him where EXACTLY was the #3 and he grabbed a straw and placed it right in he crease of the first joint ! I had always thought it was the pad between the joints. I was wrong.
I have read (or implied) the same interpretation of PP#3 as OB Left presented. So my only surprise here is that he now claims that he has invented it
O.B. Left claims to have made the other stuff up.
Quote:
For the Three Barrel Hitter the lag pressure point will always be the first joint, for the Four Barrel Hitter who Drag Loads in Startdown ........he'll sense Lag at the Knuckle during Longitudinal acceleration and then at the first joint during Radial Acceleration.
O.B. Left gave YODA credit for inventing it.

Cracker barrel?
Pardon the interruption. This (#3 pp ) is something I work on a lot.
I totally agree with EVERYTHING that O.B.Left said. With one personal caveat. I place #3 in the joint but I feel #3 in the pad above the joint (or under the first joint when dragging before release).
For me, there are 2 parts to #3 pp, position and “feel”
I think the position element has been communicated well and to me it is EXACTLY as OB LEFT and YODA communicated it.
The “feel” element has been described so broadly, maybe because it is called “Pressure point” which implies club moving force.
To my feel, #3 pp, is like your eyes are for drive a car. It is the ONLY thing that is sensitive enough to precisely locate the chub head/shaft/”sweet spot” (I put quotes around sweet spot-but that is another topic).
When you are driving you can take your eyes off the road briefly. The more and the longer you do that the less accurate you drive the car/mc Etc.
I can remove #3 from contact with the club at any point and replace at will. Nothing lost if the off time is short and not at a “critical" location /transition. Because, FOR ME, A hitting motion is #1 driving the HANDS “down plane” and swinging is #4 dragging my WRISTS through the ball.
6-C-1. PRESSURE POINTS The Force to be applied for the movement of the Lever Assemblies--both ways--is exerted against the Club through Pressure Points…
Addressing Force (Thrust?), what describes or distinguishes the role of pressure points #2 and #3 when Swinging.
You can use the "meaty" part above the first joint as the #3pp BUT where is your Knuckle if that meaty part is on the Aft? It'd be OK for Drive Loaders who dont need the knuckle ....but for Drag Loaders .......they havent aligned their Knuckle to their full advantage........any advantage.
Yoda comments from Chapter 8--Delivery Path--Neeman videos
"the number 3 pressure point--meaty part of right forefinger"
Interesting Im not questioning this comment , but I can assure you I have discussed this very specifically with Yoda....... and he said ....crease not pad on the aft. Just like this guy.
