Pardon the interruption. This (#3 pp ) is something I work on a lot.
I totally agree with EVERYTHING that O.B.Left said. With one personal caveat. I place #3 in the joint but I feel #3 in the pad above the joint (or under the first joint when dragging before release).
For me, there are 2 parts to #3 pp, position and “feel”
I think the position element has been communicated well and to me it is EXACTLY as OB LEFT and YODA communicated it.
The “feel” element has been described so broadly, maybe because it is called “Pressure point” which implies club moving force.
To my feel, #3 pp, is like your eyes are for drive a car. It is the ONLY thing that is sensitive enough to precisely locate the chub head/shaft/”sweet spot” (I put quotes around sweet spot-but that is another topic).
When you are driving you can take your eyes off the road briefly. The more and the longer you do that the less accurate you drive the car/mc Etc.
I can remove #3 from contact with the club at any point and replace at will. Nothing lost if the off time is short and not at a “critical" location /transition. Because, FOR ME, A hitting motion is #1 driving the HANDS “down plane” and swinging is #4 dragging my WRISTS through the ball.
