I am only questioning the belief that the presence of lag will decrease clubhead deceleration during impact. It is my belief that the clubhead will decelerate to the same degree as a result of ball collision - whether there is lag at impact, or not (presuming the same clubhead speed at impact and the same ball-clubface contact conditions). I also believe that lag mainly applies to the relationship between the clubshaft and the left arm, which means that the swing radius ends at the left shoulder socket. The concept of "lag" extending to the feet may be a useful idea in a pivot-driven swing, but doesn't apply to a left arm swinger. Jeff. What is a left arm swinger? In the book Swinging is based on the massive rotor of the pivot . . . . sounds like a "left arm swinger" is non-pivot delivery . . . . good for short shots. Hitting or swinging . . . . you need lag in the pivot . . . . . again look at the extension in the longest hitters. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
