First of all I do not believe lag pressure is measurable by any means other than the individuals own range of sensations, I don't recall a lag pressure formula in 2k...

As far as homer advising constant hand speed over hand speed that is erratic or maybe not erratic but slightly changing either way the goal is the uncompensated stroke and a constant hand speed surely works toward that goal of efficiency in more than a few ways, I would say he most certainly would say it is an advantage.

I do not understand why you would think constant hand speed means zero lag pressure, if you drag a mop across the floor while maintaining a constant hand speed do you not feel lag pressure? I do not need to accelerate the mop faster and faster to maintain the pressure.

The identity of lag pressure is that it is a pressure sensed that is all.

Let's remember in all this too that not all use number three pp, homer advised this but it is not mandatory, also remember that there are x variations as is the nature of the human vs. The programmed machine.

No quitting sure, but push to anatomical limits? Homer said it was Not advised to run your machine to it's limit. Also I do not believe this statement that the only way to sustain the lag is through turning hard with pivot lag during release or that it must be via Some other thrusting or extension, why is it being suggested that lag pressure cannot be sustained by simply sustaining the pressure from wherever you sense it?

I think you have homer wrong on this one, I don't think he is saying that you should be constantly trying to speed up in order to maintain a pressure, the contrary actually, he wants you to maintain a constant hand speed and utilize the surface speed increase effect of the pulley portion and CHOOSE a level of sensation, an amount of lag pressure based on the necessities of the shot at hand.

Yes agreed, I think I was wrong on the zero lag pressure for a constant hand speed thing in a practical sense as was pointed out. The mop is heavy. But Homer is pretty clear about Lag Pressure being related to if not solely produced by the Rate of Acceleration. See 6-C-0 or 2-M-2 #1. Where Homer says........ "The Acceleration Rate (Lag Pressure 7-11)".

All of which to my mind suggesting that the constant hand speed thing of the Endless Belt analogy is not a recommendation that we should literally swing with a constant hand speed. Respectfully. Its just a factor held constant in a model designed to show the advantage of the smaller pulley wheel. Now the thought or intention to try to swing at a constant hand speed if it prevents over acceleration .... "the menace that stalks all lag and drag" may be beneficial. But I suspect you're still accelerating in reality. Maintaining a Constant Rate if thats possible would have a corresponding constant amount of lag pressure but you would have to start down at a speed which will allow you to build (at a Rate) you can maintain. The establishment of a Rate which is not maintainable being the definition of Over Acceleration to my mind.

The Hands at the end of our Arms , levers must accelerate. How could they go from a full stop to a constant speed to a full stop?

Outside of the endless belt does Homer ever mention (let alone recommend) a constant hand speed in the book for full power shots? Less than full power you can have a constant hand speed if you need it but your Lag Pressure will show a corresponding drop off....as it should.
