Can one cock/hinge the wrists as easily during the backswing when starting from a higher hand postion?
No. The reason is the lower the hands are at address, the more cocked the wrists are, so as it relates to getting the wrists cocked in the backswing you are ahead of the starting line. The thing you have to figure out is which is more difficult to overcome. Many would argue that lower hands creates far more compensations than having to retrain your wrists. If you don't overroll as you start your backswing your right elbow bend should cock your left wrist.

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)

These low hands guys are starting from a cocked right wrist position as well though so this means they need to get it to level somewhere in the swing before impact?. Brian starts from a level right wrist so this gets maintained throughout the swing which we know is correct. He demos this on the video with yoda.
This is yet another extra move for them to do along with getting their right forearm on plane before impact.
Lots of compensations as you state mrodock so what are the supposed adavantages of these low hands especially the real low hands guys ala Jodie Mudd etc?
Remember hearing an audio where Homer said low hands would help you get the club up quicker on the backswing.?
Does it affect the pulley size in the endless belt?
No, Jodie Mudd was a "Mac Guy" and from what Mac said was important with the low hands was to move farther away from the ball rather than cocking the wrists at adress, the lower plane angle, and #3 has a shorter radius therefor there will be more bend in the left wrist especially with the stronger grip...would set up for a big pulley, but the pulley would be heavily dependent on which delivery path, and plane angle the player is swinging on

I have watched many of the videos of Brian Gays swings and seeing these pictures furthers my question of whether he is in fact a swinger or a hitter, I notice that he starts with a forward press or from "impact hands" and seems to have relativly little blast off or throw out from acumulator number 4, or maybe i am just more used to seeing a very agressive lower body action like most traditonal instruction suggests is neccesary, but to me it would apear he is a hitter
