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)
I'm not Lynn but I will give you my opinion. Everyone should give it a read. Finally a new take on Hogan's motion.
I think VJ has done an excellent job explaining Ben Hogans pivot . I also believe that he is correct in his assesment about how Hogans pivot and swing are different from the rest. It really is simple when you know what to look for. I am just suprised that I never saw it before. I am also suprised that with how may others have been studying that swing, that others did not point it out either. Great job on having the eye to spot it.
I have tried it in my own swing and had great results so far. There is no doubt that I am driving the ball considerably further when incorporating the missing piece he speaks of. I hope it can help others as well. I feel lke this missing piece finally makes it possible to start the downswing the way Hogan reccomended.
