I aim the #3 PP at the rear inside quadrant of the ball.

It is like a slow, deliberate, ax blow to the base of a tree. A slow, heavy blow that you really step into. Almost like a person steps into a baseball swing.
What you describe above sounds like the feeling of a deliberate axe blow to the base of a tree. But this is Golf and we learn feel from mechanics which are the alignments and force used in any given procedure.

I use the RFT. The RFT Loads the #3 Accumulator. Backswing Loads the #2 Accumulator and the #4 Accumulator is loaded at the End of the Backstroke. If the Length of your Backstroke is a very short Pitch Shot, then My #3 and #4 Accumulators are Loaded. Full Load on #3 Accumulator and ALMOST full Load on #4 Accumulator. The #4 Accumulator is Loaded against the chest at a lower location than when performing a full backstroke. This procedure allows me to use Hip Action to drive the Power Package Downplane. Otherwise you'll need to pull with the Left Arm, which IMHO should only be used with Non-pivot Strokes.

Golfers become conditioned to "Suffering". Seek medical advice. The prescription is "more knowledge".
