Think of the Lag Pressure you feel during Start Down as a stone you are going to throw. How much pressure would you feel in your hand if you were going to throw a stone two feet? How about ten feet? How about 100 feet? In each case, there would be a definite difference in pressure, right? That is the same differentiating pressure you sense in a good Golf Stroke.
And remember, until well into the Downstroke in most Strokes, the Swinger's #3 Pressure Point is against the top of the Shaft and the first knuckle of the right hand forefinger, not against the back of the Shaft and against the 'meaty part' of the forefinger.
So, sense the pressure -- normal, light or heavy -- against the true #3 Pressure Point, and use it to control your distances.

For some of my advanced students, I will actually put a little ball of Play Dough® between the grip and where their #3 Pressure Point.
If they want to hit the ball further, I have them think "Flatten the Play Dough ball a lot" and then do it. This is plus.
If they want to hit the ball with less gas, I have them think "Flatten the Play Dough Ball a little" and then do it. This is minus.
Per 6-C-2-0: "Establish your "normal" procedure per 2-M-2, then its "plus" and "minus" variations in five increments."
This method of varying distance goes against what Pop Golf instruction teaches, which is to vary distance by altering swing length or swing speed.
However, those procedures do not give place to the 2nd imperative per
2-0-B-2, Clubhead Lag Pressure Point, which is the weight that Lynn is talking about when throwing a stone.
Bad throwers of a stone don't feel the weight of it.
Bad users of a golf club don't feel the weight of the club.
Clubhead feel is sweetspot feel for all #3 Pressure Point sensing functions per 2-F of the 7th edition.
Per 6-C-0: "Clubhead Lag (7-19) promotes even and steady acceleration, assuring DEPENDABLE control of distance."
There are lots more stuff regarding what this thread goes into and for the folks who are interested, definitely read:
3-F-6
6-C-2-0
6-C-2-D
6-F-1 and
9-2 -Zone 2 Club Control is the Power Zone and includes component 11, pressure point combination.
I have been extremely enriched by what Lynn has shared with me personally and on the forums about Clubhead Speed. Also do a search on Thrust, Acceleration and Speed by Lynn.
I cannot remember what the name of the thread or the post is. It be worth the hunt for it. It goes into greater depth as to what is being discussed here.
