The lag pressure you feel is a function of acceleration. If you feel less of it while you swing you have less acceleration. That shouldn't be the case, IMO.

Swinging is good for learning golf because you are forced to use your lower body and your big muscles (Zone 1) properly to get a decent result. If your Zone 1 has issues you will probably get better results trying to hit. But you will never get great results with any pattern before you master Zone 1.

Something you said about your pressure points made me wonder whether you actually change your grip when you shift between hitting and swinging. That shouldn't be necessary nor would I recommend it. The PP#3 rotation should happen because of grip change or a steeper seing. But because of a pitch elbow in the down swing, because you turn your arms with your pivot and because you aim for a dual horizontal hinge action (which comes rather natural with swinging when it's done right).

Bernt,

one of my current struggles with swinging is the proper swivel or dual horizontal hinge action.
I am trying different wrist actions to match my pivot actions.
I notice that my rhythm is bang on when I employ standard wrist action as the rate which I turn zone 1 muscles is at the same rpm as the rolling of my left wrist.
I think that is one of the difficulties with swinging is not to compensate too much and feel the pressure points just exclusively with PP#4 or PP#2 but both.
