But all the crazy things he is "selling" for 3 payments à 29,95 is just a joke from his side..?

Yes, just a joke. Ed loves to make training aids for next to nothing and joke that he could be selling them for $$$. One of the nicest gentlemen in the business, and a big fan of Homer Kelley.

But he really meant Homer had missed a Pressure Point - in the left/front foot?

I think in our connection to the ground. I've heard that thought expressed by others.

I think it is possible to be in that release position of Tiger in the picture without having to intentionally avoid the club head from digging into the ground. Tiger just have to keep the left wrist flat and level. He's got enough PA#3 angle built-in at impact fix. His left wrist at level state is exactly on the ball. So he's not worrying about that. And because of that, he ensured accuracy. His clubface closure is the slowest ever. What he's worried, IMO, is how to close that face. He's not worried about getting it closed at impact either because it's closure rate is slowest possible already. He's worried about leaving it open. But his extraordinary strength can do it. Others can't. Advantage Tiger. Accuracy + strength. That only he can maximize the potential of. Wow. Watch out. I'm having goose bumps. Remember this: my prediction--25 majors.

Brianid it ain't about strength! The reason why he would dig intothe ground is because at address his shoulder to ball radius is x amount and then he drops down which would make him dig under ground the exact amount he dropped unless he makes a series of compensating moves.

By strength I mean the need for it to be able to close the face via PA3. The more PA3 angle you have, it's more difficult to close the face, hence more strength you need.

I think the shortening of the shoulder to ball radius is not a fault, but a compensation for having a left wrist that is uncoocked more than level at setup (sorry, his left wrist is not level at setup/impact fix), and then having a level and flat left wrist at impact. If he doesn't "dip", he will whiff the ball, not hit the ground.

Ed,
You know that your Doctor said not to remove the neck brace until February! Now knock it off!

No 5th Pressure Point

There's no question that the golfer exerts pressure into the ground through the Feet. In fact, the Feet are the first link in the "gear train" of the Pivot (Feet, Knees, Hips and Shoulders) and its Lag (6-C-0). They initiate the Downstroke Sequence (6-M-1) and act to give the Stroke its maximum Radius ("Swinging from the feet" / 7-17). However . . .

The left foot's pressure against the ground does not actually drive the Lever Assembly (Left Arm and Club) during the Downstroke. Hence, it does not qualify as a Power Package Pressure. Instead, that work is accomplished by the Right Shoulder and its Thrust (6-B-4-A) against the #4 Pressure Point (where the Left Arm contacts the side of the chest / 6-C-1 #4). So . . .

While the Feet initiate the chain of events, it is the Shoulder that finishes the job. It is "the fastest and farthest moving component of the Pivot" (7-13) and the only Pivot Component that is also part of the Power Package (2H). It actually transmits the Pivot Motion to the Arms and, through the #4 Pressure Point, ultimately drives the Club.
