Don't create more Lag than you're prepared to Sustain (need for the length of shot)
The Right Forearm must be Driven through Release and Impact
The Right Forearm Flying Wedge must remain Intact. The Right Forearm Flying Wedge Alignment is what brings Clubhead Lag into Impact. Without the Alignment, no amount of Thrust will help. Clubhead Lag is "Keyed into" the Right Arm Flying Wedge Alignment at "Startdown".
The Right Elbow must Straighten as the RFFW approaches the Angle of Approach for Impact. It's easy to lose Clubhead Lag when the Hands Slow. If you can't maintain Hand Acceleration, then use a smaller Pulley. That's what it's there for.
The #3 Pressure Point is indispensable from start to finish. "Trace and Drag".

If you can learn to sustain Tip Bend on a fishing pole, then you can learn to sustain Clubhead Lag with a Golf Club.

Thanks Daryl!

So I'm Tracing, Drag Loading the shaft, then firing the forearm vigorously as I get to the ball to go through it, correct, or are you saying to maintain the constant force?

My most success has been slinging the Power Package down with firm wedges through the sharp Pivot returning to Impact Fix. I think you are speaking about the Pivot moving the shoulder down plane and then extending the the forearm or unbending the elbow.

It will be hard to fire the Pivot and then s-lowly extend the forearm after it rides down.

Thank goodness we have a little more winter for practice! ; >
