It all starts at takeaway though - when you establish that lagging clubhead dragging away from the ball as you pick the club up with your right forearm. When I start down, I feel like I turn at a rather fast pace, but not too quick. Too quick leads to overacceleration. You have to experiment to find your desired pace. What speed allows you to get the best distance and control? When do you cross the line from hitting it hard to hitting it errant? When you feel out of tempo, when you can't "leave" the clubhead at the top as you start down...that's when you're too fast. Grip pressure is rather firm. I never liked the idea of gripping it loosely because then it feels like it's going to wobble around during the stroke. On a scale of 1-10, I'm somewhere around 7 or 8. But I'm not all locked and tensed up - I'm just gripping it hard. My arms feel loose to allow for ease of rotation and throwout. I don't worry about accumulator #2 or my left wrist. Back at thet start of all this I did have to worry about my left wrist but it's been awhile since I've focused on it. As far as acc. #2 goes, I feel that as long as you're not preventing it from throwing out that you'll be fine. Just let it all happen and #2 will throw out when it's good and ready. Don't try to artificially force max trigger delay by "holding on" to your left wristcock. Let it be and it'll throw out at the bottom.
