You mentioned Lee Trevino having tape over his left thumb. I also read your post on this subject "somewhere." The question is this: Was the purpose of this tape because his thumb was irritated or simply so he would have better feel with the #1 Pressure Point, whether he called it that or not.
I don't have large hands and I do have a problem putting pressure on that thumb . . . I can get it on #3, and it seems to be taking more pressure. But as hard as I push against the thumb, I can't really seem to really feel unusual pressure on it.
Thanx for your thots.

Hey Dave,
You may try this. My hands aren't really big either. Could never really feel PP1 strongly until I incorporated this grip change.
Check your left thumb position. Based on traditional instruction, I had a really tight "V" with thumb pressed against the part of my hand above the forefinger.
Based on advice from EC I changed the tight "V." I now have a significant GAP between the thumb and hand. This will get your thumb on the aft side of the grip. Now when you place the cup of your right hand on your newly positioned aft thumb, you'll be able to feel the PP1 pressure. It took some getting used to. But if you are trying to hit you want to really feel PP1.
