The right arm never overtakes the line of sight to the ball.
Ted,
Congrats on your good play! Could you please expand on the above? Is there a book reference on this?
Thanks man!

6-B-1-C speaks to maximum trigger delay. The right elbow passes the line of sight to the ball before release.
In my own teaching experience, I find that many have such poor rythm that this mistake being made (bad rythm) is assumed to be clubhead lag. In fact, I was taught in my early golf lessons that the body had to 'outrun' the clubhead. I was taught swinging with angled hinging. (Swing as hard as you can to the left and hold on for dear life - that's what I gained from the instruction.)
Lag PRESSURE occurs when a greater force than the momentum of the clubhead is applied to the handle, instead of the 'drag and hold.' Drive the handle is the feeling I have now. Remember, in hitting, we're not trying to outrun anything. We're trying to drive the handle so far ahead of the ball that the clubhead couldn't catch up, even if it wanted to do so.
As far as RPM's go, the body doesn't have to travel very fast to stay ahead of the hands. The hands are to far away from the body on the radius of the left arm, that they have to travel very fast to keep up with a turning body. As far as four barrel hitting goes, the body stops just as quicly as it starts. The right shoulder becomes a platform.
Since I'm on the analogy kick about rythm, here's another:
You're in a Ferrari, and I'm in an E-Z-GO golf car. We have to do a lap around a track to see who wins. I can be the winner if my track is 1/32 the size. The body is the E-Z-GO. It doesn't have to travel around very fast to get around it's track. However, the hands (the Ferrari) have to travel much faster on the larger track, just to keep up with the body. Lastly, the clubhead is a fighter jet. It is capable of traveling at the greatest speed, but it has to travel on a much bigger circle.
I'm sorry about all the analogies, but I wake up at three in the morning thinking about this stuff. Am I sick??
