I will continue to argue that he has lost lag pressure before impact. Forward bend of the shaft contqains NO lag press.
HB
The shaft kicks before impact in every properly fitted shaft. The trick is to get a flex that gives as a straight a shaft as possible at IMPACT for face control. As a general rule, too stiff and it kicks too early, too much flex and the head lags the shaft at impact holding the face open. In those photos of Woods, he hasn't lost lag pressure, the sweetspot is outrunning the shaft, but not his trigger finger(pp#3)!
HB - In particular, :45 through 1:00 will clear it up for you. Thanks for the great video Kevin, I hadn't seen it before now.
1. Like Hogans answer when asked - How stiff should a shaft be??- Answer- like a telephone pole.
2. Sure would like to see the physics of how the sympethetic vibration aids ball striking not just making your swing feel, feel good.
3. yes I have seen the data showing forward bend at impact- even the pros. BUT HK has said (can't find the quote now but it is on the forum) that the pro's loose lag before impact.

When you find that quote from Homer Kelley, please share it with us.

Kev, I absolutely agree. I don't want to get into a lengthy discussion about forward shaft bend (this thread doesn't need to be dragged - no pun intended - in another direction). But the video explanation is very unsatisfying. If the shaft can't keep up with the sweetspot (as mentioned in the video) such that a forward bend is created, then it must be influencing the sweet spot - resisting its forward motion - opposite to the desired resisting its deceleration
