[O.B.Left]

Take a look at these hands.......just made for Drag Loading. Knuckle on top , first joint of the right index finger on the aft. Seemingly foreshadowed in the way he held a ball even. Alignments born out of hard work , trial and error but here for us to discover intellectually thanks to Homer.

Hogan probably never heard of "Drag Loading" but his hands knew it well. I dont know if he ever discussed the feeling of Drag Loading....the loading of the knuckle, the body pulling the club longitudinally by pp #2, the last three fingers of the left hand. (Startdown waggles anyone?) He danced all around it though from what I can see while discussing the mechanics of it.

In terms of Radial and the index finger he was caught on film discussing it's feel. A tape that Lynn gave to the world actually. Here's an edited version , watch where he says "its just forward". That is inertia , lag pressure at the right index finger he is discussing as opposed to direct drive thrust.

You can only feel that inertia as long as the Hands are accelerating. In fact to sustain any given amount of lag pressure you must sustain their Rate of Acceleration. A drop in the rate of acceleration, though you may still be accelerating, will see a corresponding drop in amount of lag pressure (in psi). To sustain the rate of acceleration you better start off kind of slow and give yourself a chance to keep it up. Sort of like a sprinter. Ah by the way Im thinking the Endless Belts Analogy's constant hand speed was not intended to be applied literally to your golf swing......you'd have no lag pressure in that case. Hence its label as an analogy perhaps? Not saying anything is wrong with the Endless Belt though , I love it.

This is Homer's Heavy Hit . Triple H. Golf's secret. Lag Pressure (and Rolling but thats another story) create the flat left wrist not vice versa to my mind. Swing the Hands not the Clubhead etc it all relates.

As an aside, although Mr Hogan said "butt pad" the photos seem to reveal "first joint" to my eyes. Either will work I guess but its interesting to this golfing lunatic. Hmm could one be the feel of the pressure and the other be the alignment to the aft, given some downwards direction to the thrust?
