Hands leading the clubhead?

I was just wondering the reason for the hands to lead the clubhead into impact? Thanks.

To create lag - the secret of good golf

The hands have to lead for a true 3 dimensional impact without a MAJOR compensation.

How can the clubhead be travelling down through impact with the hand not ahead of the club head?

In the grocery store
We push the cart using our legs, knees and feet - using our hands only as sensors - and not by knocking it to random destinations by means of jerky wrist actions.

In the better place
Same thing. We use a heavy, deliberate accelerating action through the ball. Not a "fast" weak jerky action. If the Hands are behind as a reslut of a jerky wrist action, there will be no pressure on the inner part of the right hand index finger and thus no feedback to the Computer.

Oh. And you can hit the ball without the hands leading the clubhead. And a long way! But if you do you have to forget about precision.

To do this the clubhead could not be descending at impact, correct?

Kee-rect - at least for any non-exotic shot.

I believe "lag pressure" is a more generic and better reference than "hands leading the clubhead".

Just a few weeks ago I watched a guy hitting drives over 400 yards (no wind - flat terrain) on my homecourse. Hitting up on the ball. I have footage & just need to get my act together to put them + obsvervations up. But the leftmost ball ended upp some 200 yards left of the rightmost, so although the length was amazing, the precision was not great. (Yes: The guy is a LD professional)

Ahhh...the old driver hitting up debate! Look forward to the pics and observations.
