Also, if it's not too much trouble, help me out with one more thing. If I swing a driver at 107 mph and I use about 12 ounces of pressure, should I have 12 ounces of pressure when I swing the driver at 50 mph or should the pressure be less?
Remember it is SUSTAIN the Lag . . . not increase the Lag . .. Mike O will argue this point. . . you can increase the Lag but I don't think you want to go nutz with it. The problem lies in cranking up the Lag Pressure really earlier and really hard and you have too much speed too early and end up chasing it instead of driving it.

Homer advocated having a "stock" lag pressure and then adding/subtracting to hit different distances. You are definitely going to have less pressure hitting a driver 50 vs. 270 or whatever.

Probably what you should do is figure out what your sustainable pressure is. Hit the ball with as much pressure as you can put on it. Keep backing off and find your most "consistent" amount of pressure. You want a pressure that allows you hit the ball with authority but control your dispersion. Lotsa times LESS may be be MORE and may be better too.

Experiment with it.
