No right or wrong Mr.
Air, you need to experiment...
For me, if I try to pause, I sort of "snatch" it on the way down. Very jerky. When i work on tempo, I like to feel a little extra "float loading", like my body is starting down beginning with the feet on up, and the clubhead is staying behind. That "snatch" move getting the club to start first is the destroyer of swings, and a great contributor to the "over the top" move.
