"Lag", period.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.

As a swing "thought", I have to go with #2; Hands down.

eyes on the ball, mind in the hands - but specifically the flat left wrist is my guess

"sustain the lag." For me, the most difficult .

I voted for #1 but my gut feeling was telling me the same as Hunter.
But . . . I never was good at guessing on tests!

I'm suprised that one of those would be used as you stand over the ball. You 'saw" the shot, can feel the target. From there it's mindfulness. Just get out of the way and let your body do it.

They are all excellent for practice, though. The swing thought of the flat wrist at impact seems to draw the others in line for me.
