PS (pre script): Daryl probably uses pp#1 as well. But only for extencior action, right?

Pressure point combinations is similar and different than accumulators. Extencior action doesn't use Accumulator#1 but still uses the associated pressure points.

Proper pp#2 pressure at impact is IMO as fundamental as it gets.

If you want to keep things simple this is a very good key to focus on. It basically takes care of The Three Basic imperatives: It is the physical equivalent of TGM's geometrically flat left wrist. It IS a Clubhead Lag Pressure Point - and IMO the most significant by far. And if you control it and keep it throughout your stroke you will get a straight Plane Line. And it is also the essense of rhythm. The only thing it doesn't cover of the TGM fundamentals is a stationary head and balance.

A lot of people who come here to LBG and learn TGM seem to be very inspired by the hitting protocol and change their stroke pattern towards hitting. For me it was the other way around. I already had plenty of hit impulse in my stroke. My main problem was pp#2 pressure that varied from day to day and stroke to stroke. And the stroke was never better than my pp#2 pressure through impact. Through TGM I became much better to pull that rope through the ball and that has made a huge and lasting different to consistency.

The better I control pp#2 the better I strike the ball; putter or driver or anything inbetween.

Great post BerntR!

This is what I really love about TGM and LBG. Right here in this thread. So many different ideas, so many ways to get er done, and all of them are correct.

Air, I'll bet you are learning so much this week in Cuscowilla, I can't wait to hear more!
