It is most noticeable with the long clubs. I have uneven lag pressure. The hands could move faster but the lag pressure becomes tremendous through impact. Where in the motion should I look? Earlier release?, Longer arc?, more effort earlier?, longer stroke?
This is kind of backwards. More lag pressure than wanted not the normal problem of running out of lag. How do I get “evenness” THROUGH the release interval?
Are you moving your hands? Well, it sounds like something is moving faster than the Handle. Has it been a Problem?
Yes. I have my right wrist at full bend, for me that is only about 45 deg- physical limit- but a light club (shaft only) moves through faster so it is clubhead dead weaight feel . Even with CF the pressure really increases. I see the point, getting ahead someplace but how to locate that?? The shame of it is that It may be someplace as a habit used to prevent loss of lag that has come back to bite???
Then again- As U say- Move the handle- That puts me back to bad pivot- maybe even traction?

I don't think you can have too much lag pressure going through impact. But if it isn't matched with a decent overtaking rate of the club, the sweetpot will move way up the club shaft and you will get a greater portion of the impact shock through your hands. And even more so with the longer sticks who has much lighter club heads than the wedges.
It sounds to me like you're not releasing the club well enough. Not enough clubhead spead / hands speed ratio.
Can one have too much Lag Pressure? Didnt Ben Doyle say something like "having too much Lag Pressure is like having too much love"?
What are the symptoms Bear? Late release? Overshooting the target can I suppose be considered a "too much lag pressure" deal.......you know like blasting a putt 10' long.

It happens at release. Only with a driver or longer woods. The feel is that the club is so heavy it stops my hands. If I slow everything down to create a smoother heavy motion I have no club head speed. I crank it up and I get this convulsive lag pressure near impact and a late release action which makes squareing the clubface difficult.
I have too much Extensor Action and the tightness gets to my right shoulder and I short-circuit the swing. Only happens with driver and long clubs 5+

I don't know if it applies to this thread, but players with sub concious flipping will tend to hit the wedges high (early flip) and struggle with getting the driver and long irons properly released. I believe this is quite common among the freshman golfers. What Homer says about rhythm is very relevant in this case.
