At least as far as set-up, Homer always said that mid-body hands (Standard "Classic" address) was well suited for swingers. I personally like this address when swinging as for me, like yourself, I get the feeling of PP#3 lag loading at the top. The only thing to monitor when dragging the club back is to not allow your shoulders to perform a shoulder turn takeaway in which the club would come inside/under the plane going back.
