Did Lynn ever elaborate on this? Did that orange ring kill Bucket? Where the heck is that guy?

Absolutely! I just think it's strange they all have to take shots at Homer Kelley, and they all disagree about which parts to shoot at! After seeing this thread, I went back over there to take a peek. They feel Chapter 2 is right on, while the other dissenters feel that's the chapter that is totally bogus.
No wonder golfers are so confused!
Our good friend Bucket will be back, he'll never lose this great foundation. Best thing about his journey is, he'll discuss with what he learns with us as different "feels" and in a way that's compatible with our studies. The mechanics won't change, just another way to get there...
I wish I had the smarts to just stick around here and get it right. Just too much fun watching the other train wrecks!

very interesting photo lynn.hands and what would be the clubhead are correct,but the bend of the shaft is the other way.it's hard to imagine the shaft looking like a c but it does.makes you wander even more how we can even hit the little ball first
Some fine points that I've learned to encourage and maintain Clubhead Lag through the Impact Interval. CL has almost nothing to do with speed. Acceleration only needs to apply a greater force than the strength of the shaft and the weight of Clubhead inertia. And, Stiff shafts bend easily. Stiffer is better. Stiff shafts stay with you.
Don't create more Lag than you're prepared to Sustain (need for the length of shot)
The Right Forearm must be Driven through Release and Impact
The Right Forearm Flying Wedge must remain Intact. The Right Forearm Flying Wedge Alignment is what brings Clubhead Lag into Impact. Without the Alignment, no amount of Thrust will help. Clubhead Lag is "Keyed into" the Right Arm Flying Wedge Alignment at "Startdown".
The Right Elbow must Straighten as the RFFW approaches the Angle of Approach for Impact. It's easy to lose Clubhead Lag when the Hands Slow. If you can't maintain Hand Acceleration, then use a smaller Pulley. That's what it's there for.
The #3 Pressure Point is indispensable from start to finish. "Trace and Drag".
If you can learn to sustain Tip Bend on a fishing pole, then you can learn to sustain Clubhead Lag with a Golf Club.

Correct you are D. Unfortunately I am such a dummy it took me about 2 years to figure it out. And that was after about 50 years of wandering in the desert not knowing where to look for the horizon.
But now my addiction is compression. Once you find it and feel it, there is nothing like it. Those photos you posted not only look good, they feel good.
Thanks for all the illustrations and concepts you post. They are most helpful.

Do you have any pics at impact with the same look of lag? Some of that "look" is deceptive because of distortion, also there is in Hogan's power golf a pic that has the clubhead in the exact opposite position of leading before impact, do you think that's accurate?
The shaft leans have to be taken with a grain of salt, and that aplies to the dramtic leans/bends in either direction. Hard to get accurate depictions at that speed like a race cars tires looking out of round. Lots of delusions in this area.
What is without dispute, IMO is the principal of lag leading into the impact interval. Never been anyone worth a flat dang that didn't do that.
Mr. Kelley's mothod of achieving it may not be the only way, but is surely an effective one. But one better have it one way or another or never realize even close to full potential.
