Lets drop it. This isn't even half the story about what went on behind the scenes. We are here to study the Golfing Machine. The same book Yoda was taught from by Homer Kelley and teaches to all of us, even lurkers that use this remarkable book to their advantage.
Bucket - it started with the directions the grooves face after hinge action- went to ball positions, what frozen means to the right wrist, tripod. I'm sure I missed a few. Lynn provided the Homer Kelley answer- the TGM answer or description. Are the HK answers the right one? Well- it's his book. Are we allowed to challenge? Positively- that’s how we learn. Do you have to accept the answer- Nope.
But you don’t trash your friends or plot against them over such things. That's just BS.

Witcha . . . I don't have a problem with people saying Homer was wrong, Lynn was wrong, Festus was wrong, Barney was wrong, Elmo was wrong, Goober was wrong, Gomer was wrong, Beavis was wrong . . . we can ALL be wrong.
My issue is with people who obfuscate (that's right . . . ) . . . Mr. Kelley spoke and Mr. Kelley wrote. And some think THEY can spoke and wrote for Mr. Kelley . . . and that there can't stand. Some want to defend AI's and that's just fine . . . but WHO is charged with defending Mr. K? Huh? What?

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
