"Not sure what gets everybody's shorts in a knot when it comes to lag but like MizunoJoe's buddy there seem to be a whole lot of people who get their back up about the concept and the book. Too bad. Homer and Ben Doyle are truly great, generous people and with an open mind the book is a treasure trove."
I don't think everyone's shorts are in a knot because of lag. A few folks simply noted that most TGM'ers get their shorts in a knot whenever an alternative viewpoint is introduced. Again, my instructor is a GSED who has taught the likes of Charles Howell, but never has he told me to go read "the book" or "the book" reigns supreme. In fact, I have been told to not really worry about reading the book. When I object or question him for answers surrounding the "whys" of the golf swing, he never hides under the mantra of "it must be right because it is scientifically proven" or "geometry rules" or any of that jazz. We never really talk about lag either. We focus on power. Why, because lag is a byproduct of doing other things correctly. Execute the things necessary for a powerful swing and you usually end up with accuracy AND lag.
The fact is that the book may be a treasure trove and Doyle and Homer may be great but it doesn't mean the soldiers of TGM must brandish their arms anytime an alternate viewpoint is introduced. Funny, this debate reminds me of Evolution vs Creation.
