R.E.S.P.E.C.T. tell me what it means to me.
Well Bucket, I'm going to give this thread a run. Thanks rchang (Alex?) for thinking about the role of PP2 and getting me thinking some more.

Still discussing swinging for now. There are only two pressure points in the hands so their distinct roles have significant importance; #2 on the left and #3 on the right. There is a wealth of material on this forum regarding #3 so I won't go into it's role. The primary role of #2 is sensing the cocking and uncocking of the left wrist which provides the throwout action of the clubhead. But there has to be a secondary role for #2, that of monitoring the pull of momentum transfer through the left hand after release of the #2 accumulator.

Centrifugal Force alone can provide the uncocking motion, but as the left hand rolls into impact the feel of PP#2 should also sense the roll up into the fingers. It dawned on me that this would be very similar to the quarter turn roll feel of #3 at the end of the backswing. This isn't in the book and I've never heard it mentioned before, so I might be way off base.

I can imagine momentum transfer flowing from the #4 accumulator (the master accumulator) which is the left arm welded against the chest and the momentum of centrifigal force being transfered to #2 because it is the only other pressure point in a position to sense pull. #3 and #1 are sensing the change in inertia but are not in a position to do any direct pulling of the rope handle through impact. Only #4 and #2 are in a position to spin the flywheel and keep the primary lever ahead of the secondary lever.

I might have had too much yellow koolaid for breakfast this morning.
