My apologies; I was using shorthand and should've been more specific. When I was referring to #2, I was referencing what a lot of people call "accumulator lag" and what you and Johnny Miller were referencing in regards to Stricker's seemingly never cocked/uncocked left wrist.

So #1,2,3, and 4 all reference a power accumulator and a corresponding pressure point. The 2 we've referenced are 1 and 2, and they are somewhat related.

#1 accumulator is the amount of bend in the right arm (for a righty), and the pressure point is the right heel pad pressing against the left thumb. For a swinger this is passive, as the right arm straightens but isn't consciously driven straight.

#2 accumulator is the angle between the left arm and the top of the left hand (cocked vs. level wrist). This is most easily seen by the angle between the left arm and the club shaft, or simply by looking at accumulator #1. Assuming a level right wrist, if the right arm is bent more than it was at impact fix, then there is some amount of #2 accumulator established. This is what most talking heads refer to when they say "lag" and is what guys like Hogan, Sergio, and Boo Weekly all max out then release very late in their swings. The #2 pressure point is the last 2 fingers in the left hand, and you really feel this when the club 'throws out' and that angle between the left arm and shaft gets inline.
