For many years the teaching of a little pause at the Top, or End has been kicked around. We know from high speed video that nearly all tour caliber players do not actually STOP at the Top, except for maybe Bob Murphy. There is, however, a change of direction, that may FEEL LIKE A PAUSE. This may be especially true for those whose transition has been out of wack.
When the OUT OF WACK player incorporates a PAUSE, his swing often gets in sync... at least for a while. He may also more easily eliminate an unwanted double cocking action, or right wrist cock. He may be able to more easily monitor his PRESSURE POINTS, FLYING WEDGES, or any number of things.
Why? Because he has a little more TIME. TIME, is one of the four primary elements of PHYSICS. MASS, SPACE, TIME, and ENERGY. The TIME element of any stroke must be correct(for that person) or the stroke will suffer.

The clubhead definitely pauses (when the backward momentum and the forward reach a balance and lag is loaded, or neither is present and no lag is loaded) at the top before coming down (when the forward overpowers the backward), but your intention shouldn't.
A clubhead pauses with nothing loaded (or no lag) can be subjected to instability the easiest, regardless of the time it is allowed to avoid one.
"Lag" is the secret.

"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.
