That was quite a first post, yodeli. Very impressive!

There's lot's to digest here, but there definitely is a remarkable difference between these two Strokes. Personally, I like the one with Lag!

I'll come back when I've got a bit more time.

Thank you Yoda, and ok, this first poll was a bit verbose!
But there is much to say and I am very excited about this LAG feeling because I sense this is a major key for me and many serious G.O.L.F.ers!

So I decided to go on, throw my old swing forever and build a new one around this LAG feeling.
I’ll keep you informed on my progress and discoveries!

As I experienced LAG only a few days ago, I think it could be helpful for someone if I explain how I get there!

1. I started to read a lot of posts regarding LAG in this forum to gather general information .
2. I learned to “drag the wet mop” by watching the following videos:
   -[click on] Drag Your Wet Mop - easy to reproduce what I saw and the best one to understand the proper stroke mechanisms -
   - [click on]The Vikie Lake series: Because it covers many of the basics!
3. I went to the short range practice zone and did a lot of Basic Motion (20 meters to the pin) to help me feeling the hands past the ball with FLWrist and BRWrist.
   LAG whas easy to do and to feel by simply getting my wrists loose on the backswing and then focusing on getting my hands past the ball before impact (I think it is a DRAG loading procedure?).
4. Then I increased the distance to the practice green and went to 40 meters. As a result I started to practice Acquired Motion (See also the John Riegger series on this)
5. Finally I went to 80 meters still with Acquired Motion (no Swivel) and focusing on doing the same thing with my hands I did in Basic Motion. I was still able to feel the LAG and clubshaft bend.
   The easiest way to do it was to start the downstroke by interrupting my backswing while having "loose wrists".
   The tricky thing here is to avoid being too quick. You must stay cool and laaaazy on the downstroke to allow for the LAG to load (feeling the clubhead heaaaaavy).
6. Now I work on the Total Motion by adding the Swivel (currently practicing that one).

What “early releasers” must understand is that it took me only 4 visits at the range to learn and recognize the feelings.
I was trying to get rid of my clubhead throwaway for 2 years and I understand now that I could have kept it all my life without those little trainings at the range!!!

This said, I am still very curious to understand why the THROW of the SWING make me feel no pressure on PP3 as opposed to a HIT where I can feel something…

(Still very verbose uh?!)
