What you want is to have the pressure points on the aft side of the shaft- including pressure point #4 on the aft side of the upper arm. In regards to your grip- and impact fix- I would recommend taking a 5 iron- put the clubhead against a solid post or edge of a wall- now push/pull forward towards the target- bending the shaft as much as possible. Can you change something to more fully support impact and bend the shaft more? Left thumb pad on aft side? I don't care what change it is- adjust your hands and body so that you find the most support and easiest position to bend the shaft- that's impact support. Then before each shot - practice bend the shaft- it will verify your pressure points for impact.

Personally, if you've got lag and are hitting down- I wouldn't worry about "the wedges" etc- should take care of itself. Although, you definitely should not hold back the right wrist- You should have the amount of weight that you loaded on the pressure points- maintained past impact- via constant acceleration - dictated by your awareness of that constant weight.
