I don't think it was a matter of what type of shot he was trying to hit, I thought he used more of a LCT earlier in his career almost if not exclusively. As a result, he had a longer backswing, more of a float load, more #2 accumulator lag coming down. With setting the club earlier in the backswing later in his career he had a shorteer backswing, less of a float load, and slightly less #2 accumulator lag coming down. All just my best guess.

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)

Thanks, nice to see the full article.

Basically his setup was all about the fade, and his hands tried as hard as he could to hook the heck out of it.

Hence the reason item #22 in the the checklist for all strokes is capitalized:

DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP

J. Miller did the same thing, setup at the extreme (weaker grip than most) and just fire those hands through with FULL ROLL!

Did Hogan full roll??? Or did he say he full rolled?
