Sustaining Versus Creating Lag

Exactly right.

Moreover, I am referring to the Swinger's Feel -- monitored in the Right Forearm and Pressure Point #3 -- of sustaining (not creating) Lag Pressure 'Through the Ball'. This Lag Pressure is the indirect drive of the Clubhead (7-11), and its associated Accumulator #3 Action (Clubhead Overtaking) is the product of the passive Accumulator #1, i.e., the straightening Right Elbow per 7-3, 7-20, 6-B-3-0 and 10-11-0-3.

In my own case, my Right Forearm through Impact feels as if I am pressing the palm of my right hand on the inside of a doorway (with the Pivot and its Right Shoulder leading the action), but the doorway won't move. Presumably, this is the "optimum amount of isometric contraction" to which you refer.

Caveat Emptor For Swingers
I strongly suggest that Swingers attempting to monitor the Right Forearm Slap of the Major Basic Stroke (7-3; 10-3-B) first firmly secure the last three fingers of the Left Hand (Pressure Point #2) when taking the Grip. Then, maintain that Pressure throughout the Stroke, especially at the Top during the Left Wrist Loading (accomplished by the Pivot per 7-12, 7-19, 7-20 and 10-19-C).

Otherwise, it is all to easy for any 'Right-Sided' Action to degenerate into Throwaway (6-D-0/1/2/3) with its disastrous consequences.

For a 'through Impact' drill, do the 'doorway' drill mentioned above, only use the back of the Left Hand (and the Flat Left Wrist) against the door jamb's resistance. Feel the Pivot pulling the Left Arm.

Of course, the same thing is happening with the Right Arm: It is being Pulled by the Body, its rotation and the ultimating Centrifugal Force. But, it is easy for the player's Right Hand to mistake this Pull - against the Lag Pressure it generates -- as a Push.
