3 types of lag

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

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

Where can I find this?

Didn't Homer Kelley write that?

I don't think Homer wrote about Garcia, do you?

Don't get upset. "FeverPowerful" identified Hogan and Garcia as examples of "Clubhead Lag". Yoda said that although Hogan and Garcia had Clubhead and Pivot Lag in their Swings, FeverPowerful had observed and identified "Accumulator Lag".

The wealth of information stored in this website is priceless.

If you post about "Clubhead Lag" please mention the "procedure" for a Swinger that allows the #3 Pressure Point to return to the Aft side of the Shaft at Impact. It took me a very long time to figure that out, and I'd like to get your thoughts.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not thinking so much about what swingers do - I think I'm a hitter. I also use TGM to hit me on the head.

Ok, thanks anyway.

I'm not sure what you are thanking me for, but anyway: You'r welcome.

Interesting Yoda quote there.

I read it to mean that Clubhead Lag is Lag PRESSURE at the #3. The clubs inertia as sensed in a pounds per square inch manner at the #3 as opposed to the #2 Angle as measured in degrees in Hogans , Garcias swing.

For this reason Luke doesnt like it when one says "lag" he prefers "lag pressure". They are different. The former can have a common golf speak #2 angle connotation to it.

Lag Pressure has no Release Point as its release would be associated with a loss of power . Whereas Accumulator Release is associated with increased power. If it were not so the farmers flail would not work. You must Release. Making those who would avoid Finish Swivel , scardie pants with compensated held off low powered swings. Good for some shots , shorter ones but not for long drives. I cant believe some of the guys who teach that stuff are ex A.I.'s. What didnt they get about Release?

I'm getting tired of my own ignorance. All I wanted was to read more about the 3 different lags, since this is not much spoken of? But that's not saying that I would have understood so much...?

Its a big question, but I think its talked about...

Lag is everywhere and importantly, employed differently by Hitters and Swingers.

Here's something from my personal think lab: Three types of Lag, Three Zones.

Pivot Lag (Zone 1), Accumulator Lag ( Zone 2), Lag Pressure (Zone 3). Does that fit? Thats the entire body as well as the club.

Also from a Downswing Sequence , 6-M-1 perspective: The radius extends from the Feet to the Clubhead. In the downswing, each component part Lags and places Drag upon its proceeding component until it overtakes it. So lag exists from foot to clubhead, ideally, if your swinging from the feet anyways. Sometimes we dont obviously , putting for instance. The Feet are the first component to sense Drag , the Clubhead is the last component to Lag.

I like Lag Pressure (type 3 lag if you will) as a course of study. Homer wrote the book on it , so to speak. And as he said in 6-H-0 you cant have educated hands unless you know what to teach them. He then laid it all out, one list for the Hitters Hands , one for Swingers. See 7-19 Lag Loading as well.


Here's a Yoda post that alludes to Accumulator Lag and the differences for Hitter and Swinger. The physics employed is different and so is the Lag.
