I agree that flexibility is important but to be more specific, dynamic flexibility is probably even more important than static flexibility. With dynamic flexibility there is more careover to actual functioning. One thing I would encourage everyone that is looking for a bigger turn in the backswing to do is work on thoracic spine mobility rather than lumbar spine mobility. In other words, avoid this stretch: http://www.buildingbodies.ca/exercis...ck-stretch.jpg, and replace it with this stretch: http://fitnessforbettergolf.typepad....gression_3.jpg
The reason for avoiding lower back stretching is that in most people the core needs stability not mobility. In addition, hip mobility and thoracic spine mobility decrease the loading on the lumbar spine reducing the chances of lower back injuries. If anyone wants resources to working on these 2 issues that almost all people have I would be happy to include them.
Note the 2nd stretch (dynamic) can be done on all 4's as well. With the forearms resting on the floor and the knees bent to 90 degrees.

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)
