Lag and Drag
I just did Yoda's wet mop drill to experience constant, dead weight inertia. After dipping in into a pool it weighs about 5lbs and takes effort to drag it through the impact area. It is impossible to get quick with this drill. My question to Yoda or Ted is how long do you do this drill per day for that feeling to be trustworthy so that the club itself will feel as though it weights a lot?

As long or as short as it takes!

John, Dragging is for Swingers. If you're Hitting, you'll need to Push via PP1.

Duffy's right in the sense of 'do you drag the mop through or do you drive the mop through.' But remember, every Stroke has Lag, Drag and Thrust. Swinging and Hitting are differentiated by the type of Thrust employed. Hitting utilizes Muscular Acceleration (6-C-0-1) to actively drive the Lever Assemblies via the Power Accumulators. Swingers, on the other hand, use Centrifugal Acceleration (6-C-0-4) to pull the Clubhead toward its In-Line condition.

In the wet mop drill, the lagging mop head places a drag on the preceding accelerating components, no matter whether the mop handle is being Pulled or Pushed.

If I am practicing the wet mop "Lag and Drag" I assume that I should feel a lot of pressure in the #1 and #3 ppts as I Drive the mop through the impact area. Thanks again Yoda and Ted for a great lesson!

Can you give an example of "preceding accelerating components"?

So it's basically a similar concept to the Gear Train effect of Pivot Lag?
