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.
