It won't be much longer before this site leapfrogs to the next level. We are working hard behind the scenes.
Bagger,
I have a suggestion that possibly might help you in your leap froging efforts. I am a hitter who has been signficantly confused from time to time, in trying to make productive use of your generous "free information". When I watched the Tom Tomasello Videos a while ago, for example, it is almost impossible to know what information I could use and what information did not fit with my hitter's profile. As I am sure you are aware, adding every promising looking piece of information to ones swing that one sees here, can throw a monkey wrench in your swing if you add the wrong piece. When I added Jeff Hull's dramatic downswing waggle for example, it didn't produce the benefits I was expecting. because I should have been performing that move slower. When I watched Ben Doyle's videos, I didn't initially know whether "drag the wet mop" is an idea that works for hitter's or only swingers? (Not to mention, Lynn Blakes, drag the wet mop video as well.)
Clearly there is no blanket solution to this problem. But I do think it might be possible for you to create a hitter's emblem, and a swingers emblem, and perhaps mark videos as they released as to whether they contain primarily swingers information, primarily hitter's information, or perhaps a mixture of the two.
In any event, this is a fantastic place to learn about golf, regardless of whether or not you chose to put my suggestion to work.

R . . . The Drag the Wet Mop thingie is applicable to BOTH Drive Loaders and Drag Loaders . . . It is simply the feeling of "dead weight inertia" of Clubhead Lag and the load it puts on your Pressure Points regardless of the method used to accelerate the Lever Assemblies. You must nurse the Dragging the Mop feel regardless of your choice of CF or Muskle Powers. Below is the passage from 7-19 Lag Loading that speaks to the point.
The correct Clubhead Lag Pressure “Feel” is a deadweight inertia – exactly like dragging a wet mop through impact – constant Loading, constant direction. A careful nursing of the Clubhead Feel. Clubhead Lag can be established by three different ways:
1. by resisting the Backstroke motion for Drive Loading
2. with the Start Down motion for Float Loading
3. by “throwing” the Club against the Lag Pressure Point at The Top for Drag Loading
Many thanks Bucket, that answers a question that has been puzzling me. I thought the word drag indicated it was for swingers, but clearly I was wrong. My point in mentioning "drag a wet mop" is that sometimes it can be a bit tricky to figure out who certain lessons would benefit... .

The lag pressure always has a Constant direction. Is this true regardless of the delivery path being used or length of the stroke ?
