Need some help with sensing #3 lag pressure. On the rare ocassion that I feel it, I don't know why. When I lose it, I can't get it back!

Anyone have any good drills or swing thoughts to help? As always, thanks.

Brian, great article! If I understand the article correctly, you can lose lag pressure by over-accelerating the club on the downswing?

6-C-2-D. LAG LOSS

Over-Acceleration is the menace that stalks all Lag and Drag. Here it al-
lows the Hands to reach maximum speed before reaching Impact and so
dissipates the Lag. So the length of the Stroke and the amount of Thrust
should be adjusted and balanced to produce a "High Thrust-Low Speed"
Impact-"heavy" rather than "quick." Daintiness is dangerous.

"High Thrust-Low Speed"

Brian, in the flying business we call that L/D (Lift over Drag) Max!

Now, you lost me on the "daintiness is dangerous" comment. Can you elaborate?

By the way, your last reply may be the most enlightening/profound reply I've seen in my one year of TGM study. I'm impressed...again!

It's my job.

Thanks Brady!

Daintiness: The OPPOSITE of OVER-ACCELERATION. SLOWING DOWN the lever assemblies, FORCING the lag pressure to "float away."

Are the cures for "leakage hooking" as referred in the article the same as in "never hook again" ? Or do different moves help this problem?

To feel more lag pressure, hit balls with your thumb off the club.

Great drill. I remember someone saying here that they started hitting it so good they kept it as a normal procedure lol.

I had one for 20 years.

When I started teaching, there was no "commercially available" portable video camcorder.

Three years later, in 1985 Sony came out with the first "Handycam."

I ordered one two months early and got it and a bunch other peripherals.

20 camcorders later, here I sit.

But until Katrina, I STILL had my Manfrotto/Bogden tripod.

Indestructable!

If you want REALLy want a tripod, this is the very best, and only a few bucks more than the junk.

One of my videographers with a big commercial camera has a CASE for his tripod that alone costs $3000. "Why?" I asked him. "To carry the tripod that keeps this $60,000 camera from falling over!"
