Pull or snap or both

2. The Smooth Finishers-- Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Luke Donald, Geoff Ogilvy, etc., where the club just kind of GLIDES to the Finish, and there is no rebound.

Both styles can strike the ball very long. What you think causes this difference?
There are some... like Tiger Woods that can do either. Many, however, of these players seem to be only one way on this. What do you think?
1. Pull against the "Lag" all the way through the finish-less timing-dependent.

2. Snap the "Lag" through the ball and to the finish, or pull then snap it, or pulling + snapping it-highly timing-dependent.

1. might not be as powerful as 2., yet much easier than 2.to do.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
