The 'lighter' Loading automatically produces a slower Stroke and yet sustains the Lag. But, when we get these results, we tend to think, "Oh my goodness. How wonderful! Now let me see how far I can hit it when I really Load up!" The result, of course, is a much faster Stroke, the Over-Acceleration you mention, and the dismal results experienced by most.

This 'lighter' Lag Loading is counter-intuitive, and failure to understand it is yet one more reason why so few play the Game well.

Master Yoda,

Somehow you always manage to put up the rightinfo, at the right time.
Great Post!

Mr. Yoda,

This is good!

On the topic of "counter-intuitive"... I recently attended a seminar. One of the presenters showed pictures of players with BACKWARDS leaning shafts at impact. He said the REASON they were doing this in nearly all cases is that their concept is to create a lot of speed in the club well BEFORE IMPACT. He said the way to correct this is to have them believe that the speed should be the fastest much LATER in the downswing, and FEEL as if the speed is greatest AFTER IMPACT.
