But...I still did not hit the golf ball like I wanted. I had pivot problems. My hands were educated and I didn't flip it, but I still steered it and my pivot was awful

So my impact condition was great, but all the stuff that went into it (my pivot, lag, etc.) was not very good, which resulted in still mediocre golf. I am only now starting to become enlightened as to what I need to work on.
I think that is interesting, you can have a great impact position but if you don't have the proper dynamics you aren't going to hit the ball on the trajectory you wish to nor with enough force.

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)
