I'm afraid it is far more complicated but results in a simpler swing.

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)

Mike told me that part of his formula for hitting it long and straight was to put the left hand heel pad on the side of the grip and not on top of it. Mike said this adjustment to the left hand heel pad allowed him to maximize power with accuracy.

I agree that the left hand turned grip is ideal but I think Hogan got everything more correct than anybody in the history of the game. Not just judging by what he wrote, but also by what he did.

Mike was not talking about turning the left hand but the position of the heel pad on the grip. 6-B-3-0 on page 70 of the 6th edition will explain why he did this.

Given that your description involves opposing forces interacting, perhaps you could provide an explanation of the physics of this interaction? Arguably, the best corroboration of your theory is providing the practical physical physics of why this procedure is more effective and/or efficient.
