Hello Monte, I was curious if you've ever seen this video? It feels like I stepped in to a time machine to hear someone teaching very similar concepts to you, with slightly different terminology: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqKdoBVYQ9EThanks for the videos, they've helped a lot....(biggest moment for me was when you explained that when one turns everything at the same time, the left hip still appears to be leading, great stuff)

Monte, you would be happy to know that lag has OFFICIALLY been killed by science. Angular momentum has NO practical application to the golf swing. NONE. It's about the timing of torques. People with stronger forearms can apply torque on the club later in the forward swing. Those that are weaker in the forearms need to apply torque at the club sooner in the forward swing. That's it.

Here is an excerpt from my book and this took place in 1996. --------------------------------------------------
At a Nationwide event in Denver, Colorado, a team of biomechanical engineers were measuring different small muscle strength among the players before comparing their findings to driving distance in an effort to find some link. Of course, they couldn’t wait to see how I would test, as a former Long Drive Champion. One of the tests was squeezing a bulb that had a pressure gauge attached to it. The gauge only went up to 30. Former PGA Tour player Deanne Pappas squeezed a 26, ranking him second. I squeezed it off the scale with an estimated 37. The next test involved a device that immobilized your forearm up to the elbow. There was a handle you would pull as hard as you could…both with your palm up and your palm down. You have way more leverage pulling the handle with palm up, and I pulled 20% higher than the next closet guy. What got their attention was the fact that I pulled with more force with my palm down than over 75% of the guys did with their palm up. It was their immediate conclusion, before they had crunched any of the data, that a freak amount of strength in the small muscles of my wrists and forearms is what allows me to hit the ball great distances and control it without having better than average physical strength in the rest of my body.

I believe TPI has info stating that the long drive guys have more hand strength than PGA Tour pros.
