1. The Aggressive Finishers-- Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer, Rory Sabbatini, Phil Mickelson, etc, where the club is really moving into the Finish, and often rebounds off the left shoulder.
2. The Smooth Finishers-- Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Luke Donald, Geoff Ogilvy, etc., where the club just kind of GLIDES to the Finish, and there is no rebound.
Both styles can strike the ball very long. What you think causes this difference?
There are some... like Tiger Woods that can do either. Many, however, of these players seem to be only one way on this. What do you think?

1. Pull against the "Lag" all the way through the finish-less timing-dependent.
2. Snap the "Lag" through the ball and to the finish, or pull then snap it, or pulling + snapping it-highly timing-dependent.
1. might not be as powerful as 2., yet much easier than 2.to do.

"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.

Tour players can manufacture any type of finish that they deem appropriate at the time.
Bearing in mind that the ball is long gone, most finishes are posed for effect, I suspect, rather than reflections of what preceded them.
but isnt one of the three stations the finish position pops? per TGM, it seems much more important pops than post-impact position....
Yo Son,
Quite right, the finish is important and usually caused by what preceded it rather than posed.
I was being playfully provocative, having witness numerous exaggerated finishes where a little extra contortion is added at the end. A two stage motion, effectively.
Ya mean he's moved beyond the lever power golf thingie?
Hmmm......
Yup. The arms only, static shoulders and head free swing.
No pivot or bodily rotation needed. No body needed in fact.
No weight shift.
And, certainly no exaggerated follow through.

Umm... that is the lever power golf. So he IS still doing that.
