MAx trigger delay and short game
Many of the great ball strikers achieved max distance from relatively small stature/ slim build by using snap release and max trigger delay.

Think of Hogan, Sergio and CHIII. Hogan was reknowned for his wedge play but how many of the modern day "lag-meisters" are known for wedge play / short game?

Dave Pelzs research did seem to demonstrate that the players with best full swings often did not have best game between 30-100 yards. Is that because they were used to loading too much lag pressure and snap release? Is a sweep release a better option for subtle distance control? NB. I know that anything is possible but the fact that the guys with big lag have generally poorer pitching games suggests that it might be a challenge to become an accomplished wedge player using their lag-dominant techniques( Nicklaus was notably poor pitcher by comparison with his overall ballstriking)?

Thanks for any comments?
