While I feel I have a solid grip on the rotating lag pressure point, I could never visualize how it could be left on the top side of the clubshaft. Can anyone help?
The only thing I can think of is if there is minimal, if any, release swivel.
Am I on the right track?
Thanks!

Let's all consider that I am a strict interpreter of the definition of being on plane per Mr. Kelley...low end points at the plane line or the entire club is parallel to it...PERIOD.
OK, the #3 pressure point pressure rotates 1/4 turn from the aft side of the grip to the top of the grip (actually it is the bottom and under the shaft as viewed from the player's perspective) when the secondary lever loads for swinging. NOW, for the real magic...the entire power package assembly lowers vertically on its same angle of shaft inclination until release point is reached, at which time, the club throws down and out. At this critical juncture, the pressure point pressure of #3 moves from the top back to the aft side of the grip prepartory to impact. At or near release, the club head will feel slightly behind the rear (for your benefit Patrick) bent wrist, and at impact under and behind the bent rear wrist. PP# 1 and PP #3 will seem to be aligned very nearly VERTICALLY for impact and into full extension.
Easy to demonstrate, but difficult to relate via this medium.
PP3 on the "top" of the shaft at the End is only a feeling. If you stop at the top, you can really feel the lag loading on your PP3 at right shoulder height - PP3 is directly behind the shaft as it was at address.
But if you're all the way at the end, then PP3 is going to be facing skyward and thus PP3 will feel "under" the shaft. Then in the downstroke the release swivel will throw it back behind the shaft in support for impact. Like EC said it's very easy to show in person but via words it can be a bit more difficult.
There is a good explanation by Yoda in the #3 In Relation to Plane Line thread.
He explains that one could leave the #3 in the Weak position through Impact, and "it would not be disasterous" to do so for the Swinger. Centrifugal force is doing much of the work for them.
