As I understand it... if one goes to the END (usually shaft will be around parallel to the ground), when SWINGING, the #3 Pressure Point will rotate from AFT to the TOP of the handle.

This moves the right hand grip to more of a weak (top of handle) position, if it is left there at IMPACT. I believe if you look at Impacts of Ernie Els and Craig Perks you will see this.

It also seems to me that the Release Swivel with this variation would have a little less travel... or may FEEL that way.

I think the grip isn't moving at all - so the right hand grip isn't in a weaker position (I suspect what you see with Els and Craig Perks is just hinge action or roll of the right hand over the left through impact).

What moves is the pressure. Hard to explain exactly, but I think an (inexact) analogy may help. Imagine your in a ferarri F1 car - going straight pressure of the g force is in the middle of your back, but going around a corner pressure moves to the side of your back as the forces change. But you're strapped in tight (no wobble in the cars grip on you), so your back doesn't move.

That's my (poorly explained) understanding. It could be wrong. What I'm not sure of is how exactly you would maintain this pressure (position) until impact. What the change in procedure would be. Unfortunately, this was what PhillyGolf originally asked, so I'm not being much ultimate help!

Edit: Thought about this some more. It seems to me the rotated pressure of the swinger at the top is to do with loading on the approximate plane of the wrist cock motion, which is the secondary lever assembly loading. This also seems to me to be loading for a sequenced release to some degree. Here's a hypothesis; if you're uncocking more strongly than you're rolling at impact, you'll feel pp 3 to be more on top. Alternatively, if you've dumped more of the wristcock/#2 accumulator before rolling, the pressure point will seem to be more on the aft. Thoughts?
