So it could be said that overacceleration and deceleration (especially short game) are both demons!
Deceleration is QUITTING- 3-F-7-B, one of the four snares. Slowing or stopping the hands changes the Down and Out clubhead path. Losing Lag not only adds to quitting- in your case from deceleration- but also corrupts rhythm. Bottom line- your machine needs tuning.
Over acceleration is another rhythm corruptor. When your hands “out pace” the same basic RPMs of the turn- components poorly spaced and released inaccurately.
The Pros throw-away because they are gifted ball strikers with exceptional eye hand coordination and can get away with driver throw-away. But many don't know anything about swivel or roll, either.
An open-faced club can be 'slid' under a ball and clubhead throw-away may be the only way it can be done when held very open with a hard outside to in cut.

I lay the sod over it on around 1 pitch shot a year and wanted to make it 0 for this year. I think it is because of quitting though. Thanks for the great posts Mike.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

I meant "your" in the third person, btw.
My full stroke improve ten fold over the winter because I improved my chipping. How? Basic and Aquired Motion. I hit plastic balls, crab grass, pine cones, bottle caps- just about anything on the ground- all the while downloading the book into my hands.
Some say Basic and Aquired are boring (not while downloading into the hands it ain't) but the weeks doing that over-shadow all the years of banging the driver at a driving range. You really discover your Flying Wedges.
