Thanks.

For Hitters: Driven!

For Swingers: Swung!

This is, of course, a simplified explanation and does not answer your question regarding the 'entire motion.' For Hitters, as an example, the Drive Feeling relates to the Downstroke. Because of this Drive, Hitters will Feel Pressure Point #3 much stronger than Swingers.

And the Extensor Action stretching of the Left Arm through Pressure Point #1 or #3 or both is a Feel that should always be present.

You've Got That Laggin' Feelin'!

The Clubhead Lag constitutes the Indirect Drive of the Stroke (7-11) and is almost always assigned to the #3 Pressure Point (10-11-0-3). During the Start Down, the #3 Pressure Point accepts the Load -- Clubhead Lag Pressure Point Pressure -- put on it (by the Pivot in Full Strokes and by the Right Arm or Left in Short Strokes). It then unwaveringly sustains that Load through Impact and well into the Finish.

Unlike the Power Accumulators, the Clubhead Lag has no Release Point.
