Me likey. So in essence you have "pre-loaded" pp4 via Extensor Action prior to the load imparted by the Pivot?
Hmmm... not sure exactly what your meaning
PP4 is loaded on the backstroke and your left arm contacts the chest at the top. Once your at the top of the backstroke you feel this pressure and you concentrate on increasing the pressure (don't think about directions - just the pressure) as much as possible all the while maintaining a stationary head - releasing no.4.
Also I just want to add a few things since we're on topic. As pp3 is aggresively applying extensor action (you really feel pp3) that pressure is also onplane. When you look at 1-L and the hinge, notice that the secondary hinge in the dual horizontal hinge action, that lifts the left arm up and down which actually is what the magic of the right forearm is all about - any bending of the right arm with extensor action will lift the left arm in a circular motion around its pin. In the dual horizontal hinge the left arm is lifted till the top of the backstroke, goes back down till low point and then lifts again till the finish of the stroke. The constant 'onplane' pressure of pp3 towards the plane line as pp4 drives the lever assembly is what drops the left arm onto the ball...
Because the stretch is also onplane as pp4 pressure is created against the lever assembly, and the fact pp3 is also on the plane and your pp3 won't be offplane (I hope), as the pressure of pp4 works against the onplane pressure of pp3, this tilts the spine and drops the right shoulder axis tilt until pp3 can trace down the plane line.
Also the pressure of pp3 towards the plane line is what keeps the level condition of the right wrist....

Mathew,
By "work against the onplane pressure of pp3", do you mean it exerts force against lag? Just trying to clear the fog. I understand and am clear on the rest. Good post.
Some additional information on this can be found in the recent thread about CONNECTION.
Here's a comparative stop-action that shows Ben and me with a fully-loaded Pressure Point #4 (where the Left Arm contacts the chest). No falling 'headcover under the Arm' here!
I never sought to copy Ben. I just sought to swing according to the Principles and Procedures of The Golfing Machine, and this is what I got.
