This is really good stuff, I appreciate your detailed explaination and will work on the lag pressure a little more. I am a left hand swinger at present, but have dabbled in Tommy's right hand swing as well. Hell Ive tried everything and am working on the Bertholy stuff now (left side swing)
Can you direct me to any video's that could help me to obtain lag pressure?
The Doyle vids maybe? Again thanks for your time...
Not sure about any videos . . . there are probably some that would be good for you in the Gallery here.
I'd say do a couple of things . . .
Do a search on the Yoda's Secret drill.
Try to hit balls gripping the club with your right forefinger and thumb extended. It would look kind of like you are making a that pistol you used to shoot when you were a kid. So basically the only part of the right pointer finger that is touching the club is the first fleshy pad (pp3). You will sense lag pressure doing this.
Also get out your video camera assuming you have one . . . make sure that you are not "flipping" or round housing or steering.
When you hit balls you REALLY need to focus your attention on your hands and NOT THE CLUBHEAD. This is harder to do than it would seem. Try making swings and hitting chips with your eyes closed.
ok, I'll try the pistol drill. When I said video's I meant any good clips here on Lynn's site. Just now learning to try and bring the right shoulder down the plane vs round housing, now I just need to pay attention to my hands and feeling that pressure. Thanks again, this gives me some things to work on.

6bmike-Thanks man, I will try using this. Would you say Hogans "thumb and forefinger off" grip will accomplish the same thing as your pistol grip drill to really feel that lag pressure?
mb6606-are you saying that since Sergio and Charles Howell are smaller pro's that they need more accumulator lag than say Ernie or Tiger?
Yoda's drill will teach you feel PP3 Lag Pressure onto the ball. It is IMPORTANT that the Lag Pressure of PP3 strikes the ball and not the evil twin PP3 Throw-Away. Do not flatten the right wrist.
I am not familiar with Hogan's drill but I think BH had the evil twin pp3, at times. He mentions how much trouble the index finger and thumb cause.
Delivery PP3 (extended down the shaft in this drill) with a bent and Level RW on a three dimensional Down, Out and Through incline plane. Shield eyes from blinding light.
One last point I have been meaning to post- this is as good a place as any.
When you 'see' the ball UP on the incline Plane, not at the bottom of the stroke, it changes how you ‘see’ impact. No longer will it feel like Down, Out and Through are three separate angular motions but D-O-T as ONE. Go through the lazy ball to Low Point on the incline plane.

Thanks guys
I would say yes to that. Funny how some guys think they need less. However its one of the reasons they are on the top of the charts.
