Aft simply means on the back of, inside means the part of the ball closest to the players feet, the goal is an 'inside-out' impact although it is not an inside out plane, but the ball is to be struck before low point, the club still traveling down and out towards low point through impact. Set your flat left wrist and clubface and put the #3 pp on the aft side of the shaft perpendicular to the line of the left wrist cock giving you a strong single action grip and the flying wedges. The plane o te left wrist cock perpendicular to the line of the right wrist bend.
Please don't attempt to re-write the book especially if it's 600 pages. The only simplification of the book is the authorized instructor. The #3pp IS the first fleshy pad of the index finger.

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.
Don't overthink this, this is very basic. Don't get confused by the words rotated or swinging or hitting, the question was regarding the pressure points location not it's action. For most a strong single action grip is by far the best choice and is mandatory in homers basic motion acquired motion and total motion curriculums. If you go to any tour event one thing that will stand out with nearly all their swings is their trigger finger grip with the first fleshy pad of the right index finger (pressure sensing pad) on the back of the shaft.

You should see the bronze casts done of the grips of memorable winners of the Open that are displayed at the R&A museum in St Andrews. Trigger fingers all.
The pressure point does Rotate though for the Drag Loader . He or she does load the knuckle at the base of the index finger during Drag Loading, Startdown, Longitudinal Acceleration ...assuming thats what attaches to the top of the handle. Then it Rotates to the first joint or pad (if that whats attached to the aft) during Radial Acceleration.
The Drive Loader just employs the first joint or the pad if you want . Ted hits but drag loads instead of drive loads most often so he's loading the knuckle in STartdown then Drives hard with a Right Arm Throw during Radial Acceleration.
The location and/or movement "feel" of #3, is related to hinge type. Because the #3 "senses" the shaft on the angled plane but the back of the left hand (and therefore the grip unless you asjust your grip during the swing) maintains its relationship to the associated hinge. Therefore, only with angled hinging will #3 remain in one "feel" location, behind the shaft, because the clubface retains its relationship to the angled plane.
Which leads to why angled hinging is "best" for hitting and Horizontal hinging is best for swinging, but thats another story.
At address the location of the #3 pp for hitting or swinging using a strong single action grip is the same, on the back of the shaft, perpendicular to the line of the wrist cock this doesn't mean it's going to be exactly at any angle it depends on your left hand impact location. The action of the #3 pp differs from swinger to hitter but both are in the same location at address. the violinist also uses the number three pressure point as he senses the strings angle and pressures.
It'll be located at the lowest point of contact between hands and club , aft of the direction in which the club is travelling. It senses inertia. And is located at the top of the LCOG, the Sweetspot Plane in other words . If you gripped the club cross handed, during Radial Acceleration it'd be located somewhere on inside of the tip of the left index finger.
During a Lagging Takeaway you sense the Lag at the lowest point of contact between the inside of the right hands index finger or thumb and the fore (as opposed to aft) of the handle.... a reverse #3 is you will. The fore of the handle is now aft of the direction in which the handle is moving in Startup... If you know what I mean. Dang .
