The No. 3 Pressure Point Still No. 1

I submit that this is not true.
I don't see where or how you can physically mandate PP#3 and change the top reference point (club butt end) to be external to the shaft...

Martee,
Thank you for another thoughtful, well-researched question.
The Line of Pull of Centrifugal Force is indeed through the #3 Pressure Point. That is why Clubhead Feel -- The Secret per 6-C-2-0 -- is the Clubhead Lag Pressure sensed and controlled through that 'Last Outpost' of the Grip (2-F and 6-C-0-#3).
For the very obvious proof, look again at the photograph of Homer Kelley swinging the weighted line in my post Back To The Future in the Chapter 2/Statement of Principle thread. Here the Line of Pull is clearly evident between the first joint of Homer's Right Forefinger (the #3 Pressure Point). This picture is particularly revealing of the Principle involved because...
...there is no Clubshaft butt!
Study 2-M-2, 2-F, 6-A-3, 6-B-3-0 and 6-C-2-A.

Martee scratches head, shakes head, exhales deeply...profound and total denial..shock..
This is what has pop out of the incubator with your statements...
1. One of the three imperatives is 'A Clubhead Lag Pressure Point'
2. PP#3 must be the Clubhead Lag Pressure Point
3. 6-C-2-0 states you can have any combination of PPs to sense BUT you must have PP#3 with your statement.
This really makes me wonder and question Basic Hands to Plane (grips) cause of the location PP#3 may be in (such as 10-2-E and 10-2-F)...
Me think me has confused me totally...Ugh!

Yes, Marty, 6-C-2-0 does state that "sensing the Clubhead Lag can be donewith any one or any combination of Pressure Points..."
And then it goes on to say:
"...but herein, unless otherwise specified, always refers to PressurePoint #3. "
So, we leave the #1 (6-C-1-#1) for Hitters to Drive their Right Arm. Weleave #4 (6-C-1-#4) for Swingers to Drive their Left Arm. We leave the#2 (6-C-1-#2) for both Hitters and Swingers for the cocking anduncocking of the Left Wrist.
Finally, we leave good old #3 (6-C-1-#3) to sense the Clubhead Lag.
And also, to sense the all-important Rhythm (2-0, 2-G and 6-B-3-0) ofthe Stroke and thereby allow the #3 Accumulator (the angle formed by the LeftForearm and Club) to maintain its radial alignment with the Left Arm and a LeftWrist vertical to its Associated Plane.
For those who can't make heads or tails out of that last paragraph, join our HingeAction--A Primer thread. That class will begin in earnest soon -- probablytonight -- and the above paragraph will be made crystal clear over the nextcouple of weeks.
