You wrote-: "What I did:
- use PA#4 as a swinger: the whole primary assembly accross the chest then rotary body power to blast it of the chest,
- at some point in the downswing, you'll feel the release of PA#4 through the pression descreasing on PP#4,
- as soon as you feel that (for me it's almost when my hand pass in front of my right leg), you activate your right arm to drive the primary lever assembly toward aiming point."

I used to swing the same way - first use the pivot thrust to activate release of PA #4 and then use active right arm thrust (active release of PA#1) at some point in the mid-downswing. However, I found that this "switting" approach was too dependent on timing, and at times the active right arm thrust interfered with the natural release of PA#2 which occurs passively via centrifugal action. When I discovered Yoda's archived posts I came to understand why it is a mistake to use a "switting" approach and that it is better to either be a hitter (1:2/3) or a swinger (4:2:3).

I can understand the use of enough right triceps action to maintain a "feel" of constant pressure at PP#3 during the downswing so that the right forearm keeps up with the clubshaft through the mid-late downswing - without actually releasing PP#1 via an active right elbow straightening thrust action.
