The frisbee toss would have to be two handed in order for it to be an apt analogy, no?

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)
The left arm is above plane for the majority of the stroke, the left arm 'cones' into the inclined plane until it eventually is on the inclined plane at followthrough. The idea when throwing a frisbee is that you throw it on the plane of motion of the left arm, however the left arm is not onplane in the golf stroke, it thus compounds the ignorance of this fact.
Does the left arm karate chop that seems to be often recommended for swingers have the same problem then?
Its something that i've always struggled to understand because if the left arm is the power source (for the swinger) then it seems natural to uncock down its plane. Any advice on how not to fall into that trap?

Not Mathew . . . But credit to him . . . you could think of it more as a Slinging Back Hand Slap . . .
You are using your pivot to DRAG your inert left arm down to SLAP somebody with the back of your left hand. But you ain't slappin with the power of your arm you're slingin' and slappin' with pivot power.

A karate chop is a strike made with the heel of the hand which in golf is thrust by the pivot towards a point on the plane line. It is a strike towards the plane line and not a strike gliding along the plane line. This is trying to control the clubhead orbit with the left arm which is a big no no in golf. It is the downstroke prior to the release motions maintaining the palm directly towards the inclined plane.
However this karate chop strike towards the plane line is guided via the clubhead control of the right hand or specifically pp3 drawing a straight line of thrust towards an aiming point after you adjust yourself in a position to do so (top arc).
