Lag is the secret of golf

Over acceleration of the clubhead is a race between the hands and the clubhead.

If your hands decelerate prior impact, the clubhead won’t and they will win the race...

To make your hands win the race:
  • continue to accelerate your hands to both arms straight - stopping your effort at impact is not enough (REALLY driving to low point will also help).
  • slow your stroke to give a chance to your hands to go at least at the same RPM as your clubhead (this is the SLOW and HEAVY concept you already know). Don't worry, you won't lose yardage because you will replace clubhead speed with clubhead mass. ONLY THEN you'll be allowed to go faster with YOUR HANDS (not the clubhead) for tour pro yardage

Now, talking about Lag Pressure, I'm so crazy about it that I felt the urge of setting up a blog around it! Feel free to give it a look, you may find something helpful - but I don't want to threadjack or steal visitors from Lynn and I encourage you to search the forums here first on this topic because you'll also find a ton of great information on this subject.
