In regard to stiff wristed putting or chipping Im thinking you can feel Lag PRESSURE even without a Lagging Clubhead via the inertia of the accelerated mass of the club which is sensed in your hands. You feel Lag all along the aft of the handle on the through swing but only the lowest point of contact on the aft of the grip it senses the LCOG the sweetspot. The lowest point of contact defines the top of the LCOG, the sweetspot being the movable point on the face at the other end..... Moving that lowest point of contact up and down the handle moves the LCOG and sweetspot on the face slightly , like a plumb bob.

I suppose a cross handed guy would feel lag pressure all along the aft but would have to trace with the tip of his left index finger assuming thats the lowest point of contact on the aft of the shaft. If he did trace.

Homer believed the sweetspot was a movable point , without dimension , like a balance point say. So if you grip down , or up or lengthen your shaft it has implications to the location of the sweetspot on the face.

Interesting stuff.
