[O.B.Left]

Thanks Mike O, that cleared the fog quite a bit for drive and drag, now just a light haze. Suspect my intermittent problems drag loading are mostly old age, flexibility and fatigue/stress destroying alignments.

Here are my current thoughts on Lag Loading.

1. Drive Loading(less experience)- Carry back(liked that)Deliberate resistance compared to drag, feels considerably shorter than drag, clubface feels aligned.

2. Float Loading (No Idea)- Doesn't sound anything like Drive Loading. I might be float loading for less than full power.

3. Drag Loading (that's me, requires a different mental state than my norm, nice reality break) - Your exlanation was great, momentum created(swung/thrown). I'm trying to be pliable AND let the weight stretch me while maintaing alignments, feels long/delayed, clubface feels rotated/laid off?. The bad swings/days I feel like I am catching the club with a misaligned stiff glove, like poor power transfer from the club to all 3 zones( a glancing blow), no slot.

Hey Bumpy I really like what Mike O. has said there. Nice stuff.

Re the lay off and miss aligned stiff glove thing you mention. Check your wrist conditions at Top, your Plane of the Left Hand Wrist Cock and the Direction of Lag Loading.

Are your hands sandwiching the inclined plane at Top or are you arched left/ over bent right? Is your Left Wrist Cocking a true Vertical only Hand Motion or have you introduced some Horizontal motion, arching ? In trying to load the Lag Pressure Point are you , a Swinger Drag Loader loading the mis matched Lag Pressure Point location? You should be loading the Rotated Lag Pressure Point, the knuckle at the base of the Right Index Finger . In trying to load the #3pp at the "first joint of the right Index finger" (as a Hitter does , classically ) its easy over swivel the left forearm and get the club under plane on the way back or/and get an arched left wrist , which makes cocking difficult unless your super flexible like say D.J.
