Drag Loading is born from the lower body- the pivot- at the start of the downswing. Found in all Swing strokes- The Great Pull. All accumulators are set and ready to be released.


Float Loading is born from the arms and hands during the downswing. Accumulator #2 is not fully set until the downswing. In fact it is called in the book, 10-19-B, DOWNSTROKE (OR FLOAT) LOADING. Homer goes on to write that the word "FLOAT" describes the sensation - a gentle, lazy float. A far cry from the fierce application that Hogan and Sergio gives it. This is why Tongzilla and others warn of its danger to alignments.

Once you Float Loaded, the motion finishes like a Drag Loaded Lag.

see: 10-19, 7-20, 6-C. Its all there.
