What are the things we think about getting the good amount of Pivot lag besides a good start up to tighten things up? what are your thoughts?
For example. is it better to drive your legs, step on the left feet etc, a good startup?
Personally I try to lower my center of gravity , weight to my left side, meanwhile tightening between my left hip and right shoulder during start down to prepare the flywheel. But i think, maybe there is a better way!
Ok... do not get me wrong. Of course I am saying people who already have somewhat educated hands , trying to improve the pivot zone

Homer Kelley was so so so far ahead of his time. Much of what is in the book concerning Pivot Lag is a bit nebulous. But he NAILED Pivot Lag like Tony Soprano nails peoples knee caps to the floor.
First of all let us distinguish the different types of Lag . . . You got your Accumulator Lag. You got your Pivot Lag. You got your Clubhead Lag. And you got your Lag Pressure.
Many folks who have just scratched the surface of the Machine focus on Accumulator Lag. This is pop Lag. "You gotta make your angles and hold on to 'em." Yeah whatever. Accumulator Lag MUST BE RELEASED. This is where the Radius is either driven out or slung out. Surface speed is thereby increased geometrically. Forget about holding on to angles. Angles are created and held in line DYNAMICALLY as a result of Clubhead Lag and Lag Pressure.
Clubhead Lag and Lag Pressure ARE NEVER NEVER EVER RELEASED. Why? Because if you release 'em it is a POWER LOSS. Accumulator Lag . . . YES. Lag Pressure and Clubhead Lag . . . . AW HELL NAW!!!
Pivot Lag another Lag type that is NEVER EVER NEVER RELEASED. How come that is? Well it's all about the Radius of the Stroke. For maximum power you want to begin your Pivot Train from the FEET. The left foot preceeds the knees, the knees preceed the hips, the hips preceed the shoulders, the shoulders preceed the arms, the arms preceed the hands, the hands preceed the clubhead. So every preceeding component PULLS the trailing component . . .thereby PIVOT LAG is established geometrically from the ground up through the shoulders and out through the hands and club. Lag is an "out of line" condition. This also holds true for the pivot. You don't want nothing getting in-line. Pulling from the preceeding component feet to knees and so on beginning with the left heel.
So if you want to establish maximum radius and thereby maximum effective MASS you PULL your pivot components from the ground and feet UP. This is Swinging from the feet and achieving MAXIMUM RADIUS for the stroke. How do you foul this up? You let one of them components that should be lagging its preceeding component get ahead or in-line. Most likely culprit here is the shoulders and ROUND HOUSING. Once your shoulders get ahead of your hips, you have shortened your radius. The radius ends at the first NON-LAGGING component.
Practice this stuff slow motion by starting down with the left heel and allowing ever component to be pulled . . . no club . . . just feel the "pivot lag pressure" all in your body beginning from the GROUND.
The pivot is not so much about speed as it is about RADIUS and LAG. Homer said any amount of LAG in the pivot is Lag. You don't necesarily have to "over work" your pivot because you will lose the lag you have created and disrupt your waist bend as well.
What are the things we think about getting the good amount of Pivot lag besides a good start up to tighten things up? what are your thoughts?

Do a pivot-rotation-only swing without using the club and the arms.
Tighten up the pivot (or load and sustain the pivot lag) by reversing in the middle of the backswing, just like tightening up the arms (accumulators) and club (shaft flex) (or loading and sustaining the club and accumulator lag) in a regular swing.
The faster the turning-back and reversing, the tighter the pivot (or the more the pivot lag).
__________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"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.
Somewhere on the site is a set of exercises to internalize the pivot motion and improve the timing. I remember them as "Thompson, Franklin, or Mc Donald" exercises or something like that. Anybody know where they are?

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
