When is handle draggin okay?

[Kevin Shields]

What about on the so called "stinger." From what I understand it is a delofting of the clubface with a shallow AoA. Seems to me that it would be easiest to accomplish this with handle drag.

How come? Still releasing the club head if you want full distance on a stinger

Not sure that pure handling dragging has a shall AoA. It definitely delofts the club, but it does it by going more down.

Sure but then in that case handle dragging is ok in every shot, by your logic, do anything it's a valid shot. Easier, more efficient = don't handle drag on short pitches and chip shots.

No, that is not what i said. I mean specifically in the short game.
