Hey Strav.

Thanks for posting the link to the video. The photo of Yoda you are inquiring about is perfect .......... for the context in which in which that swing was made, only. If that is an actual swing. I see it as a demonstration , an exaggeration of Clubhead Lag as apposed to a Thrown away clubhead which is often a result of Over Acceleration.

Notice how the Clubhead has yet to pass the Hands. The Grip type or Hinge Action on display is irrelevant, thats not what he was demonstrating.

I believe the "Drive" Yoda refers to is not the drive of Drive Loading but the drive of Clubhead Lag Pressure.

"Improper Clubhead Lag Pressure Point action" , refers to the three unique procedures by which clubhead lag pressure can be established; Drive , Float and Drag Loading. They are not the same and do not necessarily share the same Lag pressure point location.

Yoda detected some "over acceleration" and was demonstrating the cure for its associated Throw away.........the sustainment of Lag Pressure. That said a tour pro for instance could make a practice of Throwaway to some extent, develop a feel for throwing it away. If the clubhead doesnt pass the hands prior to impact the shot will not lost as it would still comply with the law of the flail. The left wrist would still be sufficiently flat in other words, though its in the process of breaking. Rhythm is only just beginning to be lost, but not yet critically so.

Lag Pressure has a feel. Throwout and Throwaway have feels but are not one and the same. Throwout via uncocking or rolling are Power Accumulators 2 and 3 Releasing and part of the Swingers Golf Flail. Necessary for Power generation. Throwaway on the other hand sets up an improper Rhythm, where the clubhead is thrown in a manner where it accelerates to a higher RPM than the rest of the Power Package (hands).......breaking the left wrist. That said you can employ Throwaway intentionally for a deliberate loss of compression, for a specialty type lob shot say. So it can be useful at times.

It is all about the feel in your hands. You have to educate the Hands.

Thats my take on it anyway.

I agree OB. Lag=Sweet Spot On Plane

Constant awareness of the Lag means that the club is moving On Plane. When I Swing or Carry Back and wait for the weight or Pressure to load on PP # 3 , my Right Question Mark or the inside of my Left Question Mark, I can either Drag that weight on a string or Drive it through Impact around a Stationary Balanced Head. The Weight is the Rhythm is the Lag is the Sweet Spot of the Club Face.

Now, it is simple, after 1200 posts and 45 rounds and 4 days with Lynn.
