6-B-0 GENERAL page 66, 6th edition

...A hanging Driver weighs less than one pound, but at arms length the deltoids (2-M-3) are supporting about four pounds – considering the arm weight as negligible. But with arm and club parallel to the ground, the Wrist is supporting close to six pounds and the deltoids about ten.

These are static weight calculations. I was just thinking that if we consider the forces placed upon the Hands (Clamps) generated from Pivot Lag, and recalculate the weight of Pressure in the Hands during the Downswing, It would seem that the answer may be more than ounces. I was curious as to how the "Ounces" are calculated. Perhaps he was refering to something else? Maybe he was thinking of a swing in Slow-M-O-T-I-O-N? Maybe a Chip Shot?

I haven't heard the Tape, but if you have time, maybe you can shed some light on this.

Gosh, I wonder how the people who revised the 7th edition missed this. Merely having some indication of the amount of pressure on the right forefinger to sense the Lagging Clubhead would be invaluable to help guide someone. I know from experience that dragging a wet mop places about 20 pounds of pressure on my right forefinger. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong??

D,

You know about the menance that stalks all Lag and Drag right? there are much more interial forces acting on a mop . . . Overacceleration typically is caused by adding too much load to the system. You have to have a structure that can support the load . . . I'd say if you feel 20 lbs . . . you bust the structure.

The Book should come with audio.
