The mop is heavy. But Homer is pretty clear about Lag Pressure being related to if not solely produced by the Rate of Acceleration. See 6-C-0 or 2-M-2 #1. Where Homer says "The Acceleration Rate (Lag Pressure 7-11). Which to my mind suggests that the constant hand speed thing of the Endless Belt analogy is not a suggestion we should literally swing with a constant hand speed. Respectfully. Its just an factor held constant in a model to show the advantage of the smaller pulley wheel. Now the thought to try to swing at a constant hand speed if it prevents over acceleration .... "the menace that stalks all lag and drag" may seem to be beneficial. Maintaining a Constant Rate if thats possible would have a corresponding constant amount of lag pressure but you would have to start down very slowly to allow yourself to build at a Rate you can maintain. The Hands at the end of our Arms , levers must accelerate. How could they go from a full stop to a constant speed to a full stop? Outside of the endless belt does Homer ever mention (let alone recommend) a constant hand speed in the book for full power shots? He only mentions it for "less than full power shots..." I can find nowhere that he recommends it for full power in the book, but im trying to understand the advantages of the alternative. lag pressure is varied by changing the acceleration rate he says, but he also says lag pressure is club head feel which may change based on end or top position and where the club head is in relation to the p.p.?. Ok I think I'm sort of understanding what's going on here maybe not, he is suggesting to use a constant hand speed with heavy extensor for less than full power shots, I guess I was taking to mean constant hand speed for full power shots during the downstroke and release not necessarily a constant speed throughout the entire stroke. What would be the advantage of a lag pressure that varies Or a hand speed that varies? I myself am now confused Last edited by whip : 09-25-2011 at 11:05 PM. whip View Public Profile Send a private message to whip Find all posts by whip
