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.

Welcome aboard, FeverPowerful. Good to have you here.

And thanks for the FGI quarantine heads-up. I went there for the first time today, and you were right. Never again.

Now, regarding your Right Wrist question, I know your post was essentially addressed to Chuck, and I'm sure he will respond.

Until then, though, two points:

First, the Left Wrist cocks (4-B-2) but the Right Wrist never does. It remains Bent (4-A-2) and Level (4-B-1) throughout the Stroke. This maintains the precision alignment and structure of the Power Package (6-B-3-0-1).

Second, there are three types of Lag (6-C-0):

The "Clubhead Lag" that you refer to with Hogan and Garcia is Accumulator Lag. Both men have Clubhead Lag. And Pivot Lag, too. But the trailing of the Club behind the Hands is not Clubhead Lag. This is a widely held misconception, even among long-time students of The Golfing Machine.

Nothing in The Star System of G.O.L.F. is more important than Lag. And yet the separate identities of the three types are not generally known, much less differentiated. Time permitting, I hope to post on this very important topic in the reasonably near future.
