Different golfers will feel different pressure points, but as @Ronald Burkholder suggests one of the universal basic elements is that they should not create tension in the arms. That pressure point of the trail palm on top of the lead thumb is definitely a good one for maintaining the cheese wedge and putting the wrist hinge on autopilot, and the last three fingers of the lead hand and middle/ring fingers of the trail hand are good for someone who is not prone to flipping and who likes to feel the handle secured in and controlled by the fingers. One pressure point I do not typically recommend is that of the two thumbs actively pressing down on the handle, as this will activate tendons in the forearms that should generally remain relaxed.
A recent revelation for me: pressuring the lead thumb with the trail palm is a golden nugget. I used to concentrate on gripping with the fingers. but I believe that fosters flipping and is hard to do without tensing up both forearms. For me, pressuring the trail Palm on the lead thumb doesn’t seem to tense up my forearms and makes it easier to hold the Flying Wedge through impact.

Fingers for me.
