fixing effect with cause
The "intention" is the cause and the rest is "effect".
"a bobbing (3-F-7-D) head which causes a thin/fat shot is simply the manifestation of a breakdown in the lead wrist." or a golfer's intention of hacking at the ball, "moving the club to hit the ball", rather than simply "moving the club through the ball". Usually the head stops "bobbing" in a practicing swing, which no "ball intention" is involved and the lead wrist stops "breaking down" as well, because there is no ball for the clubhead to be released at.
"Effortless power" feels "effortless" but do demand effort, which moves the club(head) effectively, efficiently and precisely and randers it "powerful".
"Powerless effort" feels "powerful", yet the effort/intention is directed toward the ball (or/and its behavior), which usually causes the opposite of the above to the clubhead movement and randers it "powerless".

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the " LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain ( Yang/陽) the lag ( Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" ( 陰陽合一).
The " LAW" creates the " effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the " cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
" Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.

...which boils down again to technique - getting the job done with the least amount of resources.

As an Econ major that's what a lot of stuff is about!

Super efficient!
We want maximum distance for a given ball speed.
And maximum ball speed for a given clubhead speed.
And maximum clubhead speed for a given hand speed.
And maximum hand speed for a given amount of lag pressure.
And maximum lag pressure for a given amount of effort.

Yep!
And how would Tongzilla craft a Machine to meet this most excellent criteria?

How about maximum "sustained" lag pressure for a given amount of effort?
