Experiment with the amount of loading you place on your pressure points. Load max then back off and see what amount you can sustain . . . It surprised me anyway what amount of loading produced the most CONSISTENT results with regards to compression and direction.

Monkey with it . . . I found less was more . . . but may not be that way for you.

Thats the thing bucket, in TMG we are constantly told HEAVY is good, that theres a tendancy to strive for too much heavyness that you just can't get it to impact. It's like everything in life it's only good for you in moderation.

Also i think the quick start down for swingers can be misleading, For me anyway when i'm playing well my transition seems to take for ever, my hands feel like their hanging in the air. It requires patience and discipline. I think Fred Couples used to call it 'letting the air out', I like that.
