I interpret nmgolfer's post as indicating that golfer C would not generate a significantly greater ball velocity than golfer A, and that golfer C's clubhead will not slow significantly less than golfer A's clubhead as a result of ball collision.
What about golfer B compared to golfer A? What does HK mean when he envisages a swing radius extending from the feet to the clubhead, and what effect does this "mental construct" have on ball velocity and clubhead slowing as a result of ball collision?

Where are you getting "mental construct"? That's your words not Homer's . . .. He's talking about pivot lag . . . not some kinda concept deal. You either got components lagging from the feet . . . or somewhere further up the pivot chain . . . . that's what makes the difference . . . . lag in the pivot works . . . lag in the brain or lag in the construct . . . not sure about those.
I am very much in favor of the idea of lag existing throughout the swing system - for a pivot-driven swing.
I am only questioning the belief that the presence of lag will decrease clubhead deceleration during impact. It is my belief that the clubhead will decelerate to the same degree as a result of ball collision - whether there is lag at impact, or not (presuming the same clubhead speed at impact and the same ball-clubface contact conditions).
I also believe that lag mainly applies to the relationship between the clubshaft and the left arm, which means that the swing radius ends at the left shoulder socket. The concept of "lag" extending to the feet may be a useful idea in a pivot-driven swing, but doesn't apply to a left arm swinger.

What is a left arm swinger? In the book Swinging is based on the massive rotor of the pivot . . . . sounds like a "left arm swinger" is non-pivot delivery . . . . good for short shots.
Hitting or swinging . . . . you need lag in the pivot . . . . . again look at the extension in the longest hitters.
