I know this sounds crazy and bit too elementary but I have associated pressure points to directional control of the clubface, clubshaft and clubhead.
For me Directional Clubhead control is via P4 and P2
Directional Clubface control is P1
Directional Clubshaft control is P3.
This directional control is to describe the forward swing only.
Almost a year later and this seems like a silly post by me.
clubshaft moves linearly and circular and in a twisting torque fashion.
clubshaft rotation and clubhead rotation affects clubface angle.
Not mutual exclusion.

I enjoy thinking of the shaft staying on plane while maintaining lag pressure. Twisting and torqueing aren't part of my program. Whatever works for each individual!

My swinger's P3 cannot just move the shaft linearly like a pulling on rope.
The shaft moves forward and around my body and the clubhead rotates counterclockwise through impact.
So an upward hinge left wrist is especially essential in the backswing.
I spoke to Yoda a week or so ago about "level" left wrist and i did not quite do it correctly after speaking with him. Then last week I practiced (egads!) and truly got level and viola I could drag the wet mop!

The level left wrist the single most important advice I got from the forum members when I first sought help.
I get left thumbitis.....I tend to downhinge/arch my left wrist with my left thumb by pressing my thumb straight down.
This is great for a putt or some chip shots but bad for the full swing.
My left thumb competes against the accumulator for P3.
Once i could feel a level left wrist by either loosen my left thumb and/or tighten my last three fingers (P3) my swing got better.
Thanks all.

Miko O has the best tip for level left wrist.
point the left forefinger out as if you were pointing. the forefinger would be in line with the forearm.
This would be level left wrist and support the max load you can muster with the club
