Lots of nice stuff Epawl.

Re your stance and start up from impact fix. You can still have a sense of lag and drag despite the fact you start up with the hands ahead of the club head. In my last lesson with Lynn (we're into double digits) he talked about this very thing. He told me that Jack Nicklaus in the video that accompanied Golf My Way (if memory serves) described a sense a feel for clubhead lag despite the fact he started form impact fix. Lynn also alludes to this in his video with Brian Gay on this site. The Melhourne / MacDonald drills that Hogan described in Five Lessons , the continuous swinging drill where you brush the grass in both directions ..... while hitting a line of balls (optionally , ideally) lends itself to a lagging takeaway . RFT in Homers terms means you are PULLING it back and therefore dragging it back with the clubhead LAGGING THE HANDS to varying degrees. Literally as seen in Hogan , Nelson or in feel only as Jack described.

Lagging TAkeaway was for me, upon Lynns insistence , encouragement , the gateway to what Homer called a "one piece total motion" . As seen in Dufner , Rory , Hogan , Nelson etc etc etc. Lag and drag in two directions.

BTW Lynn would have you point your eyes directly at the ball , chin down . Probably the first thing he would say to you. It'll simplify your motion , automate your stop at Top mechanically and give you a better view of the plane line.. When putting it will allow for both eyes to see the hole, stereoscopic vision ... imperative to one perception of distance ... it makes 2D turn into 3D. In regards to your finish ...... dont finish swivel with your eyes parallel to the ground . That will make your body , pivot too erect prematurely . Come up with your eye line more diagonal ...it will fix your pivot in finish .

IMO
