Homer said the secret to golf was Lag. The "drag the wet mop" analogy refers to the feeling associated with lag. The wet mop is heavy and as such creates more drag and lag, inertia. It resists the changes in direction more than a lighter dry mop or broom with less mass.
The clubhead is in the process of overtaking the hands during the downswing. TGM wants us to hit the ball with the hands ahead of the ball and the clubhead trailing or lagging behind. A heavy feeling, lagging clubhead. Once the clubhead passes the hands the lag is gone, over. This lagging condition can be sensed, monitored, ideally nursed via the Lag Pressure Point (the #3 pressure point) between the knuckle and the first joint of the right index finger.
If Homer thought the secret to golf was Lag you can imagine the importance of the Lag Pressure Point. I now view concentration as pressure point awareness. With a feeling of lag in the pressure point #3 good things happen golf wise.
Try it with some short chip shots and see if you discover a correlation. If you do and decide to keep your focus on the pressure points you'll be ahead of the game.
