No,
Colonel.
Ideally, the Swinger begins his Stroke with the #3 Pressure Point in the
meaty part of the Right Forefinger and directly
behind the Shaft. He does not
actively change that Loading to against the
first knuckle (and the
top of the Shaft). Instead, as the Backstroke progresses from
Top (of the
Line Delivery Path -- Right Shoulder high and On Plane) to
End (anywhere, even a fraction, beyond Top) that function is performed by the
motion of the Club itself.
As the Club approaches the horizontal, its momentum pulls the Club more and more toward the Ground. This Action gradually loads the Sweetspot Plane of Rotation
Pressure away from the
back of the Shaft and toward its
top. Meanwhile, the Right Forearm (and Elbow) that initially supported the back of the Shaft now supports its top.
That
Loading Action does not exist for the Swinger who restricts his Backstroke to Top.
