Ok agreed, if that part of the finger touches the aft but can you still get the first knuckle on the Top when you do that?

At the risk of seeming overly precise :

6-C-1 PRESSURE POINTS. Homer says "first joint of the Right Hand index finger where it touches the Clubshaft". See 10-11-0-3 PRESSURE POINT #3 where he talks about the swinger loading the first knuckle of the forefinger , the Rotated Lag Pressure Point. 6-H-O IMPERATIVES , E. Hitting lists Fixed Lag Pressure Point while F. Swinging lists Rotating Lag Pressure Point.

Small point maybe but it can really change a Swingers Lag Loading , wrist conditions during cocking , direction of loading etc if the right hand is not attached to the Top of the handle . No lag pressure sensor to load against , throw against , no sensor for drag loading down either.

This grip below, what Lynn calls the "question mark right index finger" with the knuckle on Top and the first joint on the Aft , will scare the heck out of slicer but its got good reason to look like this in terms of lag pressure and its Rotation. Rotation from knuckle to first joint.....an area that spans the pad yes but its not fixed in one spot on the pad for the Drag Loader who then accelerates Radially.

Interestingly lag pressure at the #3 "pad" , ( associated with Radial Acceleration) was the last thing Hogan talked about in the Coleman video. He called it the "pad" too.

Sorry I've really got into loading that knuckle at Top. It fixes off plane loading , cocking automatically.
