[O.B.Left]

I'd say its good in a number of ways. Profoundly good.But dont start pushing directly with it on the aft of the shaft, that would be profoundly bad, throwaway by definition. When you feel the pressure against it start to point or trace, paint a line with it. No pressure , no paint, like say a spray can. Let the inertia push against the #3 pp and there in use it as "indirect" drive rather than "direct" drive for both Aiming purposes (Tracing) and Thrust regulation (Lag Pressure metering). In that way you have both distance and direction monitored.

For swingers this pressure is sensed at the first joint of the index finger during impact and at the knuckle where the index finger meets the hand during Startdown, Lag Loading. There is an accompanying Right Elbow position unique to this set of #3pp locations. For Hitters its normally all first joint, Drive Loading against the aft of the shaft.

See the free movie here entitled "Pressure point #3 where are you?". It will save you much time and frustration. Years maybe.

There is something special to the idea of pointing. Something in our human makeup or whatever. Its benefits are there even if there is a good deal of parallax. I recently came across an article on a marksman who could teach anyone to shoot coins out the air with a bb gun. He could teach rank beginners to do this in a matter of minutes, his students including U.S Presidents and heavy weight boxing champs and joe public. His name was Lucky McDaniel. His method will seem familiar to us here at LBG, its all about pointing, proprioception, routine and instinct as opposed to mental or physical effort. A short cut in the pathway between eye and hand without conscious intervention that would slow the message down and garble it up like that kids game of broken telephone.

Something we see the pro golfers on tv do more than we retched hacks who need it most.

There's a book from the early 1800's which outlines a method of "dueling for the beginner" that recommends extending the index finger along the barrel to enable you to point at your target better. A method that survives to this day in marksmanship of all kinds.

Our brains and our hands are capable of doing fantastically complex things at such rapid rates that it should be obvious to us to just let them do there thing. But golf being so frustrating at first has a way of letting rational thought, most of it false logic, come into the mix. To our detriment.

Moe might have been thinking about clouds but was pointing at dirt. He got it away in a hurry too. Is this instinct golf? Quick kill golf? Greg McHatton actually has his right finger sort of hanging off the club does he not?
