#2 and #4 pp on the downswing is really great, ideal even for a Drag Loader, be he a Swinger or a Hitter with a Swingers Startdown (Four Barrel). A swinger would not typically have a strong sense at the #1 cause he isnt thrusting against it like a Hitter or Four Barrel guy. #3 is inertia something that is there unless you arent accelerating at the same rate which itself is essential to good power golf, full swings. But the perception of the #3 pp, the ability to read it to employ it as a tool is a learned skill. Indeed I believe pp#3 awareness becomes golf "concentration".

For sure there are champions with no concept for lag pressure at the #3pp, but that pressure must exist in their hands though they dont recognize it intellectually. The oh so common "trigger finger" of the great golfer suggests that to me, though its an assumption on my part I admit. There is lag pressure elsewhere in the grip too of course not just at the #3, but given a common grip type thats where its focused. I would say that any good golfer has a feel in his hands he employs but is #3pp (awareness) a requisite to good golf?.........No. But the presence of lag pressure, inertia is. So why not find a method of sensing it, meetering it, directing it through the ball. Hence the lag pressure point , #3pp.

Speaking of "directing" the #3pp, the #3 attaches to defines the top of the Longitudinal Center of Gravity, the Sweetspot defining the other end. So to direct the #3 is to direct the sweetspot specifically , literally. So #3 awareness can be restated to "sweetspot awareness". Putting your brain in your hands is really also putting it in the sweetspot.

You can drag the wet mop with a leading right hand/arm........that would be the Right Arm Swingers version of the analogy. The Drive Loader, would be Drive the wet mop. The Drag Loaders would be Drag the wet mop. The Four Barrel guys would be drag then drive the wet mop.
