I've heard it said that this is negligable. I'm just wondering if the word should have been subtle, instead.

Uncocking, as I understand it is a pulling motion done primarily with the #2pp assisted slightly by the left thumb. But, reverse that, by using the left thumb then it becomes more of a pushing action.

Would throwing in this manner still be considered Drag Loading or a very subtle Drive Loading?
Thats a TOM Watson move, when actively push No.1 using the wrist early , will release no.1 too fast and thus making a wide pulley. Not advisable and its the incorrect way to make lag pressure. and the shots will be very high. Especially when the hand is uneducated, it will yield Throwaway. Also , need a pretty steep swing plane for this to work. start sweeping too early.

For a swinging.. this lag pressure is generally created by the change in direction, and Pulled by the pivot against the lag pressure point 4 1 2 3 . could be any combo or all.

for Drive loading, the lag pressure is created by the right arm driving actively pushing the left arm... Like pushing against a wall. 7-19, pushing against the back swing. ...

None of them use the wrist muscle actively. They are the worse muscle to use in golf . Unless you want throwaway.
