That's my problem understanding lag pressure and its affect on ball flight distance. Each club needs a different level of forward shaft lean at impact (more for short irons). Therefore, for a given amount of forward clubshaft lean and a given clubhead speed at impact, wouldn't the amount of lag pressure experienced at impact be the same for different swinger-golfers who do not drive load the shaft? How could there be variations in the degree of loss of clubhead forward speed due to impact? How could different golfers have different levels of a "heavy hit" (whatever that means)?
