I second that question. I also have a question about lag pressure in the wet mop drill. I love the way this drill reinforces the feeling of the body turning through impact for me. I feel a lot of pressure in my right hand, which was a bit disconcerting for me as a swinger. My right arm dosen't feel like it's driving out, really, but it's far from inactive; it's maintaining just enough pressure to keep the mop from collapsing it. It has been stated that inertia is basically a resistance to a change in direction. So am I correct in assuming that to achieve the proper feel of lag pressure, it is the player that is resisiting the club's change of direction, and that feeling of resistance is what we are to carry through impact? If that is the case, would it also be fair to say that overacceleration is the problem of applying more resistance than is needed to establish and maintain the proper pressure through the swing?

The Rhythm (rpms) of the swing needs to remain constant. The body or the hands cannot overtake the other. “Erratic execution indicates loss of Rhythm.”

That said, the clubhead will get a HEAVY feeling as it lags behind. I think that is what you are feeling when you say more pressure in the right hand. Keep pulling and drive the right arm follow as you pivot. That clubhead just got Deliberate, Positive, and Heavy. See 3-F-6
