I have always wondered why so much of current instruction correlates the "width" of the backswing with the ability to create power on the downswing (i.e. a wide clubhead arc in the backswing will lead to more power / distance) - pure B.S. If width were the key, we would get the clubhead to go as wide a possbile on the downswing - key to throwaway.

I agree with you completely Bruce. The only way taking the club wide back is good is if it helps the person come much more narrow on the way down. It's really odd that a couple of the "top teachers" talk about the importance of a wide downswing, to me, that's just plain stupid.

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)
