Thank you - here was something to put your (i.e. my) teeth into.

6-C-2-0 CLUBHEAD LAG . " Is the secret of golf......."


This is Lag Pressure here. Unlike the Accumulators it has no Release Point. It requires a constant nursing. A constant amount of lag pressure can be obtained only via constant rate of acceleration. etc etc etc.

This is the best web site going for this topic. Lynn knows Lag Pressure, "backwards and forwards"............... if he's using a lagging takeaway anyways. Little pun there sorry.

Interesting (but I didn't understand your last sentence.) If I am a hitter and the goal is lag pressure, would it be a good idea to start the backswing/takeaway with heavy drive loading? (If I know what I am talking about).

Thats a fine way of Starting Up for a Hitter , but you do have options in golf, trillions of them quite literally. Homer didnt believe there was "one best way".

Typically I'd imagine, a Hitter would Startup from Impact Fix with his Hands in an Impact condition, (flat left , bent right) and employ a "Carry Back" , no (or very little) sense of Lag in the initial move back . A Swinger or Hitter wishing to establish a stronger feel of Lag and Drag early in his motion can Startup from Adjusted Address with the Hands set mid body , the Clubhead trailing the hands, and "swing the club back" with a Lagging Takeaway.

Homer in 12-1 and 12-2 prescribed Standard Address 10-9-A with mid body hands and bent left , flat right wrist conditions for both Swinging and Hitting. While this is typically a Swingers type deal it is a very useful thing for Hitters as well. Homer I believe, did this in an effort for "sameness" between the two procedures. He said he "sweated bullets" over the lists in 12-1 and 12-2 so we shouldnt take them lightly.

Interestingly Lynn in his premium movie with Brian Gay discusses how from Impact Address there is still ideally some Lag to be sensed/perceived in Startup. So I guess you could say that even for the Carry Back there is some Lag and Drag. Often things arent just black or white in TGM or in life........there's a seemingly infinite number of shades of grey on a spectrum.

And where does one sense the Lag associated with Startup? Not at the #3pp! Not along the aft of the shaft! It'd be along the front of the shaft wouldnt it? Giving you a Reverse #3pp or some such thing. It'd be a brief little bit of loading that subsides when the Hands established their Impact Condition, flat left/bent right........which Lynn once told me could happen right around the time the hands are over your right leg as Extensor Action snaps them to attention.

I'm not sure how to reply. It's interesting to read even if it goes over my head, so I can't say so much about it other than thank you. Maybe I can come stronger back in the future??

Should? Could? the #3 PP trace the Plane Line in "Both Directions"? Could one use the "Waggle" to pressure the #3 PP and then take that to the Top? (ala Ben Doyle)

Not familiar with the Ben Doyle thing.

But Id say you for sure trace on the way back but it cant be with a loaded #3 pp like on the way down. Lynn told me once about the RFT taking the #1 pp Back , In and Up in Startup. I like that one. Its nice and snug on the way back and the spot at which I apply Extensor Action too, but the tracing Id imagine is still with done with the #3pp ...........cause its attached to the Sweetspot Plane and its the Sweetspot you want to hit the ball with. I dunno.
