Tiger and Els have a less extreme angle at the top, maybe its because of the their strength that its not as neccessary for such an acute angle.

you need to be careful about what you are describing when you say "lag" and "90 degree bend left wrist" - in TGM terminology is very precise.

The 90 degree bend you see is the amount of left wrist cock ( no. 2 accumulator) or the no. 3 accumulator angle. ( complcated at first but it as accumulator 3 is turn and roll of forearm then the mechanical effect of the foreaem action is determined by the no. 3 accumulator angle - i.e the amount of wrist cock present when you do the rolling action)


LAG is an additional component that is best sensed at pp3. You can have lag but zero wrist cock - as long as the shaft is leaning forward and the right wrist is bent/ left wrist flat.

I think this is one of the TGM issues that is hard to understand because common use of word lag in golf is amount of wrist cock ... but in G.O.L.F. it is more specific.

Wait for somebody to correct this but it is something like that anyway.!
