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)
It seems you are trying to take the piss out of me. How many start do you want ? Stick with your right forearm trying to find position golf.
No wonder people don't post on here
Naw, Pistol, I am just not as far along as you are. I am just a mongrel nipping at your FJ's. Shrill, but no threat! I just thought the right forearm's angle of approach was an alignment, not a postion. I'm not sure what I said to make you think I was heralding position golf. That is not my intent, although my ignorance exercises its habits...daily. I will take you to task for being coy and secretive. Your prescription falls short of your diagnosis, doc. What do I not understand about RFT? I can be a sarastic S.O.B, but my delusions have no grandeur. I want to learn. As for those that do not post here (as you suggest) they simply do not! If I have had a hand in driving anyone away from this forum I apologize. But...the only altercation I have had was in response to the Dr. Z thing. I think Wolfman and I went a couple of rounds. My beef there was that people were jumping on the Homer was wrong band wagon (really a leaky boat!) Is there some guidance you can provide me, other than just watching the Hawk circa 1967? Sorry if I offended you.

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.
