"One of my big driving keys isn't a swing position as much as it is a feeling--a feeling that my LEFT ARM IS BEING PULLED from its socket after impact. I think if I focused on forcing my left arm to straighten I'd be in trouble. It's more about the force of my swing pulling it straight, and me just being relaxed and letting it happen" (Camillo Villegas, Golf Magazine 3/08 ).
Is this a consequence of maintaining extensor action or does it have to do with the left shoulder climbing after impact? Other ideas?

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
