Loading and the #3 pressure point:
Hitter has a Fixed Lag Pressure Point (10-11-0-3), and Swingers have a Rotating Lag Pressure Point.
I think you can clearly see in the picture that Els is Loading the top of the shaft, as the entire shaft is laying on the knuckle. And, I'm Loading the back of the shaft, as the shaft and left arm look to be laying in the first joint. He takes a 5 Iron to End, and I'm taking a Driver to Top.
I've drawn the arrow to ask, where would I feel the Load?

Great pics Ted - really captures the 'feel' difference of the loading action - side of the shaft (hitter) vs top of shaft (swinger)
Not to take this thread off on a tangent, but these pictures suggest that plane angle may (or may not) be a factor in the rotation of the pressure point.
The flatter the plane angle, the more likely the pressure point would not 'need' to rotate, the steeper the plane angle, the more the pressure point would need to rotate, to stay on plane - everything else being equal that is. Always exceptions (Nicklaus and Hogan for example) - both of whom had to actively 'do' something with their hands (single vs standard wrist action). Perhaps those 'opposite trends' helped them never go left
