Using 10-2-B, with Standard Wrist Action, the First Joint of the Index Finger, where it touches the Shaft, is Aligned with the #2 Pressure Point. Swingers Load the #3 Pressure Point on the same line as the Left Wrist Cock (directly opposed to the Secondary Lever). Hitters do not, they Load against (don't shoot me) the Left Hand. Hitters Load against the Fleshy Part of the Index Finger.

If you use maximum #3 Accumulator Angle (in the Left Hand) and Release on the Elbow Plane, then the Pressure is likely to move against the Fleshy part of the Right index finger on the side of the Shaft (Aft Side because of Elbow Location). But, with a Small amount of #3 Accumulator angle and a Turned Shoulder Plane, the Pressure is likely, during Release, to remain against the First Knuckle of the Index Finger where it was Loaded on the Wrist Cock (Elbow Location a between the Belt Buckle and Right Side).

It's very interesting to note, that when using 10-2-B with 10-18-B (Double Wrist Action) that the Loading is against the Fleshy Part of the Right Index Finger. This is correct because the Fleshy part is on the same line as the Double Wrist Cock. Simultaneous Release with a Horizontal Hinge.

So, for a Swinger, the more Bent your Left Wrist at the Top of your Backswing, the more the shaft is against the Fleshy Part.
