Pp3
PP3 is located, more or less, at the base of the index finger. It is one of three pressure points on the shaft. Each pressure point is located on the backside of the shaft and are driven by power accumulators. They are not “pressured” points activated by squeezing or pressing. A pressure point of the front side of the shaft has little value in how you power a shaft- either by pushing or pulling.

PP3 is still “attached” to the shaft at start-up- sort of a reverse pp3 pull. Use Extensor Action with pp3 and snap the left wrist straight if you like early or set wrists later. PP3 will always be there.

There is a danger with pp3. If you push pp3 with just the index finger you will get throw-away, a flip. The right forearm Flying Wedge and the pivot drives pp3- not active hands.

By all means educate your hands to all three of the pressure points and use them on a straight plane line.

The fourth pressure point is the contact of the left arm on the chest.
