John, I get it, imho. My shorter front leg which I shift to like I think Yoda does , sort of presets #2 pp (last 3 fingers of left hand) because as I pull my left arm up with my right elbow, my left heel rises and I let it. My artificial left hip is stiff and planting or bumping forward slings the left arm in motion while I am simply focused on my right heel palm crushing into the ball.

Is it TMG logical?

I can do it regularly and want to do it better!

Hello John,

I read the above after having been through the following. While dry-swinging in the gymhall I incidentally pinched my left thumb a little harder than usual in the backswing. I felt immediately that it must be a good thing to add this little power to the extensor action push with my heelpad. When I tried at the range to combine pp#1 push with a small pp#3 pinch I got a fascinating feeling of control. The hit sounded like stonesmashing and I think I came to another break through in my swing. I have to add that I have begun to start my backswing slower and in more control.
Your description of what should happen and how it should feel is among the best I have read. I have though a question. At the end you give three alternatives. In the third you say that " while pushing hard with pp#3 opposing this direction". Does this mean that you still pull at the two ends of the rope at release?
