If you have a flail on a horizontal plane, assuming you keep applying force, the swingle would never catch up with the handle. It would continue, with 'lag' around the circle. I have read past references to 'continuous Lag' in your circle theory. With my attention diverted to other areas of your theory, I didn't do my homework on this one. So, I really don't know how you apply this concept to an actual Golf Stroke. That said, what you have described above is Accumulator Lag -- as opposed to Pivot Lag or Clubhead Lag -- the out-of-line condition of the Flail's Swingle and Handle. And this Loaded Accumulated Power must be Released in order to convert its potential energy (energy of position) into kinetic energy (energy of motion). Similarly, with Pivot Lag, the Lagging Components of the Pivot Train must gradually overtake the Leading Components. This is the Sequenced Overtaking of the multiple Pivot 'Centers,' i.e., the Feet, Knees, Hips and Shoulders (6-C-0 and 6-M-1). Only the Clubhead Lag -- the inertia of the orbiting Clubhead as sensed through the #3 Pressure Point -- properly could be considered a 'continuous Lag around the Circle.' That is because, unlike its two counterparts, only the Clubhead Lag has no Release Point (6-C-2-A). But... This is not the Lag of the trailing Flail Swingle. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
