Downstroke pressure points for hitting?
After recently converting to hitting, the one thing that continues to elude me is the applicaton of pressure points through the downswing.

My understanding is that for hitting, one establishes #3 pressure point at address and keeps that pressure throught the swing. At the time of release of the right forearm straightening, the force is against pressure point #1.

My question is this: When practicing I find that if I concentrate on applying pressure against pressure point #1 only, I tend to push the ball right. Is there an equal amount of pressure against pressure point #3 and #1 through impact?
Is the image of a "frozen right wrist bend" through impact enough?

Thanks,
Jim
