Lag Pressure And Its Pretender

No, Bigwill, it is the Clubhead that resists the change in direction, not the player. The player establishes that resistance -- the Lag Loading -- in the Start Down. Properly manipulated, the Clubhead Inertia can withstand all the Lag Pressure we humans can generate. Homer Kelley described the phenomena (of incredible #3 Lag Pressure Point Pressure) this way:

"Sometimes I felt that if I were just a little stronger, I could have lifted both my feet off the ground."

Throwaway and its Over-Acceleration are the products of an improper, throwing pressure (typically from Pressure Point #3), not the steady, driving pressure of the Clubhead Lag.
