Ed,

Thanks for your helpful explanation. I'm a newb to this forum, only recently having discovered TGM and started putting a few of its precepts into my approach to the game. If I did only 1 thing differently in my setup or swing, the key of maintaining lag pressure is a *huge* improvement in how I hit the ball. I've golfed for 40 years, much of that time over 100 rounds a year, and don't believe I've ever hit the ball farther with less apparent feeling of "speed" or effort than when simply keying on flat left wrist, extensor action on downstroke, and maintaining lag pressure. There's a "whoosh!" in my contact now, even on an easy 8 or 9 iron, that is thrilling to a dedicated golfer. -- JC
Glad to help JC and welcome to the site.
