Got the book Monday, read it in one looong swop. Tried it out the next day, and realized I was back to my junior swing.
There is one item I wish Mr. Trolio had addressed in the book. According to Jody Vasquez account, Mr. Hogan played with severly open clubheads, I believe they were 5 deg open. How does that affect "the move"? Playing with regular clubs, do I need to take that fact into account? Should I address, or "imapct fix" with a distinctly open clubface?

If you rotate the face of the club as fast as Hogan did around impact, then yes, otherwise, no need. Hogan built several face/slice type moves into his swing and game, the open clubs is just another weapon he had in his arsenal for kicking that hook. If you hit a hook no matter what, copy all his slice producing moves, if not, keep adding at your own risk. Of course all of these "slice-producing moves" worked so darn well because Hogan had some hooking tendencies, flat swing, quick clubface rotation, quick tempo, etc.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
