Thanks OB. Your post gave me some ideas about my waggle. As a curiosity, I experimented with the correct "question mark," "thumbs to the sides of the shaft" grip. As I loosely bent my right wrist and checked my flat left wrist, I felt my right elbow move down toward my right side and my left heel tugged up a bit. But instead of flipping my right wrist back and practicing dreaded"throwaway," I slowly drove my right elbow and forearm intesifying lag pressure on pp# 3. With that feeling on pp#3 being fresh " in my hands, I slightly led the lag on pp #3 down driving my right hip, intensifying lag on pp #3 and lowering my front heel all while my wedges ride the face of the plane loaded with ever increasing lag. I do this waggle to both arm straight twice and then I do it with the ball in the way. It is so cool.
OB, I' m sorry the Phillies beat Toronto today, and the Flyers are buying Canada this week. Ed Snyder is sexually close to Obozo and the money is printed daily for those frat boys

So long as there is Lag Pressure it will be sensed by the sections of your hands attached to the aft of the shaft (aft of the direction in which the club is traveling). It is inertia to the change in directions. It isnt just the #3 pp really. As long as you change directions it will be there , however briefly. Trying to sustain it through the ball is "golfs secret".
Watch Ben Crenshaw putt for a while and imagine what that would feel like in his right hand. When Tiger asked him for putting help in 1997 he described much the same sort of feel. He "gathered it up" or some such thing. Dont have my golf books with me right now.
Start small and build. Id guess that a guy that cant feel Lag is taking a mad swipe at it , with thoughts of other things.......with tons of throwaway, over acceleration. I could be very wrong though. See it , feel it...... like you are tossing bean bags. Good golf reduces to this I think. Its that simple. Bean bag into the center hole.
Lag PRESSURE. PRESSURE. It in the hands and it attaches to the Sweetspot Plane........ thankfully. Homer's insight and gift to golfers. Some know it only intellectually , some good young golfers know it only in their feels but dont comprehend it........some lucky fellas know it in both manners. Dont bet against the guys who feel it. They've traded "one day wonders" for the feel in their hands.
Learned mechanically, played via feel. The translation of mechanics to feel is golfs curriculum. The feel is the direction of the Lag Pressure , the sweetspot , along the Arc of Approach, through the ball and all the way down and out to both arms straight. As if the ball wasnt really there. It just got in the way.
