I bet you can teach this stuff to us if you choose. It is all fairly new to me.

If you get rid of lag before impact you have clubhead throwaway. You dump lag in the upstroke when the clubhead passes your hands. >I think lag is independent of these types of swings, even though this >is very good description of swings that aren't usually discussed. One >can hit the ball very well without any lag at all. Sure you can, you can hit the ball well with any swing if you practice it enough. Moe Norman was proof of that. But why try to defy physics when you can make it easier on yourself and comply with it? David Laville, G.S.E.M. The Golfing Machine Authorized Instructor TB-8982

Hitters take the club back about 3/4 so gravity acting on the shaft places the pressure point in a different position than a club taken back to parallel. Homer was going to make some changes and make references to low shafts (hitting) and high shafts (swinging). However I see he didn't make those changes in the 7th edition. David Laville, G.S.E.M.

Lag allows it to be faster though. |
