Jeff.
Jeff . . . Homer said that he felt lag pressure so strong that he felt like he could lift himself off the ground . . . BUT he also said that lag pressure is measured out in ounces not pounds. That a pound of lag pressure would be too much to sustain . . . hmmmmmmm . . . . not really sure how to reconcile that.

I'm not sure that in your above post you actually are equating lag pressure with shaft lean . . . . there is a connection there . . . however . . . . . . . . . shaft lean must also be metered out in appropriate amounts for the shot at hand and the club in hand . . . . . nicking the loft with shaft lean on the short irons works . . . . but maybe not such a good concept with the longer less lofted irons . . . see Lee Trevino . . . .

This is one of the reasons you want to be sure that you take your grip at fix . . . . a "leany" fix maybe really good with the short irons . . . but you may need the loft with the longer clubs so back of the lean and swing appropriately.

There is "accumulator lag", "lagging components", a "lagging clubhead" and LAG PRESSURE. You don't have to have ooodles of the first 3 to have the last one. Pressure is . . . well pressure. Swingers generally will feel less pressure generally due to the loading and the pressure point loading on the knuckle and moving back to the fleshy pad (or not moving).

Pull up! Pull up!
12P,

Do you think this is where the club manufacturers have done a number on us? I feel as my mechanics get better my ball flight becomes lower. I know how to fix this...at...fix, but I love the crunch that a "leany" shaft provides. Is that why Trevino put a 6 wood in the bag? Too much shaft lean made the butter knifes impractical? It seems as though good mechanics and modern lofts are somewhat at odds.
