Three Types of Lag FeverPowerful wrote: ...with players who have incredible clubhead lag (for eg. on the downswing w/ Hogan, or Garcia), does that mean they are NOT bending their right wrist greater than impact fix (and impact) during the swing?

Two quick points:

First, the Left Wrist cocks (4-B-2) but the Right Wrist never does.It remains Bent (4-A-2) and Level (4-B-1) throughout the Stroke. This maintainsthe precision alignment and structure of the Power Package (6-B-3-0-1).

Second, there are three types of Lag (6-C-0):

(1) Pivot Lag;

(2) Accumulator Lag; and

(3) Clubhead Lag.


The "Clubhead Lag" that you refer to with Hogan and Garcia is AccumulatorLag. Both men have Clubhead Lag. And Pivot Lag, too. But the trailing ofthe Club behind the Hands is not Clubhead Lag. This is a widely heldmisconception, even among long-time students of The Golfing Machine.

Nothing in The Star System of G.O.L.F. is more important than Lag. Andyet the separate identities of the three types are not generally known, muchless differentiated. Time permitting, I hope to post on this very importanttopic in the reasonably near future.
