It involves more than just hitting that hand location a little more forward or aft. may even tie into hands controled pivot????

SURE . . 100% tied to hand controlled pivot . . . as you say above it can be done by "feel" . . . Mr. Kelley actually advised the player to look at the point rather than the ball . . . but this is your "triggering point" or "directing point" to get the club to throw out at the right TIME . . . it IS A TIMING THING . . . each club will line up at a different rate due to the length of the shaft . . . I "experimented" with the aiming point too far forward . . too much shaft lean . . .too much accumulator lag that the accumulators never "dumped" and the club never "threw out" . . . so particularly with the driver I've had to feel that the aiming point is WAAAAAAAY back of the ball . . . that is the danger of some interpretations of TGM/lag/snap release/accumulator lag/sergio&hogan look . . . it may look sexy . . but is it efficient for your game . . . and even though it looks a certain way . . .is it really that "certain way" . . . what you are seeing is happening . . . but does that mean you should MAKE it happen??? Are they trying to make the "look" happen or is the look a result of something else they do?
