I think I can speak with authority as the president of the round belly club, but not with authority on VJ's book.
VJ and I are planning to play golf very soon, so I'm waiting to see him to get my autographed copy of the book. Since I don't have the book, I'm going on the posts and speculation.
I am Hitting, but I use a 4 Accumulator pattern. So, I have a Swinger's Start Down. You may be able to see in these pictures that I move forward about 5 frames with my Hips, as my Clubhead continues back. I've made a small blue mark on my Left Hip to mark the beginning of forward motion. I have made red marks on the Clubhead, as it continues back. This change of direction places a heavy load on the shaft.
This was one of the highest speeds that I've achieved on tape at 123 mph. I'm not sure if this is exactly what VJ's talking about. But, I see this move in players that can really smash the ball.
Hey Ted,
I am curious, if you strive for more right leg lean at the top, if you can increase your swing speed even more.

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)
