The importance of PP3 (lower hand index finger against the club)

That's great and keep using that feel but understand it's a feel.

Thanks Mike!

Thanks Mike!

Some reason wasn't able to edit this post, but wanted to add that I think I am physically incapable of maintaining PP3 post impact on a full swing. Thanks for the 5th accumulator read.

Why on earth would you want to maintain the PP3 after impact??

Yes it's not something that should be maintained, again it's a feel. Inline condition with the lead arm and shaft at impact with some trail wrist bend and then the wedge quickly comes out after impact.

I've been playing with this some myself.  At this preliminary stage I notice more effect on P3 on the shorter wedges and irons than my longer clubs.

It does seem to be sharpening up my shorter game shots.

I will try using it to shape thee ball and see what happens.

Very interesting reading others efforts and results.

Yeah the wedge shafts are shorter, angle of attack is greater, you're going to "feel" PP#3 more.

Oh I don't. My post is just an affirmation to Mike's post that it's just a feel at impact and not reality especially post impact. I was just adding that I can't hold it even if I wanted to, i.e., the flying wedge releases on it's own even if you TRY to hold PP3 post impact. I think that would be true for anybody but I try not to state/implicate absolutes for everybody. Stranger things have and do happen.

Just didn't understand why PP3 was a bogus concept that affected release if you can't hold it (post) impact anyway. I have clarity now from reading the link Mike provided.
