Hi all, I am fairly new to the TGM way of life (within the last month or so), but very excited about the journey towards TGM enlighment...and translating that into a consistent swing. At first I thought it sounded like a pretty complicated approach to the golf swing, but I figured I would look into it since so many on different forums seemed like they were having success with it. My impression after a month is that it simplifies the swing, not complicates it. The magic of the right arm takeaway with the simple backstroke to the top has down wonders with my game allready...and when I started using PP#1 I couldn't get over how much further and higher I was hitting my short irons (I had a TGM opposite problem -- flat right wrist and bent left wrist at impacts -- GASP!).
At first the jargon was overwhelming, but I am starting to get a grasp of some of the main terms including extensor action, PP#1, PP#3, etc. My question is that I have seen nothing written about PP#2 (assuming there is such a pressure point)....is there? If so what is it?
Just ordered my TGM book today and I am in the process of trying to set up a trip to the swamp with Yoda. Even if it is 25 degrees outside my golf life is definitely warming up!
Thanks...that makes sense. I am sure it is extremely important from the aspect of applying pressure from the aft side of the shaft for club stability in the hands...but this would explain why its not mentioned as much with the forums since it doesn't have a direct involvment in the backstroke or the downstroke drive as far as feel goes.
All four pressure points are available to the golfer. PP1 and PP3 are most often used while hitting due to the drive loading action. PP2 is very useful while swinging with its Drag Loading action. Since drag loading feels like and out and out pull from the top towards the plane line, feeling that pull from PP2 is essential!
