The right index finger has two joints and one knuckle. The Angle of Approach is a cross line deal with a Closed Plane Line for Hitters to Cover visually with their clubhead, cross line. Cover in Steering like fashion.
The #3 pp at this point in the swing is .....the first joint. For the Three Barrel Hitter the lag pressure point will always be the first joint, for the Four Barrel Hitter who Drag Loads in Startdown ........he'll sense Lag at the Knuckle during Longitudinal acceleration and then at the first joint during Radial Acceleration.
I didn't know any of that. Whoa, that seems way deep for me.
6-C-2-0. CLUBHEAD LAG……..can be any one or any combination of Pressure Points selected to sense Clubhead Acceleration rate and direction……
6-C-2-A. THE ESSENSE of Clubhead Lag technique is that it is always both Aiming AND Thrust. Passive--it is primarily Aiming the Lag Pressure.
10-11-0-3 PRESSURE POINT #3 can be either active or passive Accumulator #1 indirect drive of the Secondary Lever Assembly. That is, active as Accumulator #2………for Hitting but passively as Accumulator #3 or with a Right Arm Swing

Is Pressure Point #3 the Knuckle or the first joint of the Index Finger? Maybe it's about best results?

Does that include Swingers? Is it Optional?
That's cause I just made it all up. Even I don't understand it.
Swingers drag load, longitudinal , knuckle then radial first joint.......first joint in a passive way.
But here's something I've been noodling.....a swinger loads against the knuckle loads the left wrist, the hitter the first joint the elbow right? We tend to think in terms of Top vs End, quarter turns or whatever but what about half shots?
Surely the Hitter senses lag against loads against the first joint and swinger against the knuckle for these little shots?
If you've seen the amazing hogan in mexico video where in the later shots he's hitting these little drag loading half wedge shots that'd make you drool with envy........ He's loading the knuckle. So as Homer said it's really all a product of the direction of loading! So I'm thinking if your a drag loader per 10-19-C throw it against the knuckle......I think thats what Homer thought Hogan did and it does look like it to my eye.
Hmm? Made it up? I wish I would of thought of it. It's such a simple adjustment.
I've done some experimenting with the First Joint of the Forefinger vs. the Knuckle. I haven't found a problem with it. Actually, I like it. It seems more "finesse", more precise and needing very passive hands. It creates an urge to drag the Club.
The Loading Force is still toward the Knuckle but with the shaft resting on the fatty part of the finger which is now between the knuckle and shaft.
I was standing at the cash register at Yodas preferred breakfast spot near the swamp.....can't remember it's name , a country kitchen that does a great job.... I asked him where EXACTLY was the #3 and he grabbed a straw and placed it right in he crease of the first joint ! I had always thought it was the pad between the joints. I was wrong.
I have read (or implied) the same interpretation of PP#3 as OB Left presented. So my only surprise here is that he now claims that he has invented it
O.B. Left claims to have made the other stuff up.
