Thanks Birdie_man. Yes, I am very familiar with the pump drill and while it is a good drill I haven't found that it has lead to significant improvement in clubhead lag, at least not for me.
In fact, I took the drill a step further in 2003 and played the entire season (to a 3 hcp) using the pre-set address position (left wrist cocked at almost 90 degrees to start) for all full shots. It gives you the same feeling as the pump drill. I picked this up from Lyle Alexander, a fine Canadian am who some folks may recall from the Single Axis Forum.
In the past 2 weeks I've been doing the divot drill that Brian Manzella described on his "Confessions of a Flipper" short video and that seems pretty good. In practice swings and slo-mo shots, the lag seems most pronounced when I feel the right elbow re-attach on the downswing before the power is applied -- like the right elbow is "seeking the navel".
