This is a downswing drill. Intended to get the correct feel going down to impact. Don’t confuse this drill with the takeaway. Check out my video on the takeaway!
This drill is excellent for the driver. However, with the driver shaft being longer than an iron shaft you would simply be farther away from the wall. Again, set up with the toe of the driver an inch or so away from the wall and proceed with the drill, doesn’t matter what club you have in your hands.
Mixed bag on your advice. Lag cannot be "manufactured". People do manufacture it all the time but it is not effective. Lag is the end-product of an aggressive swing with a component of high emotion. Golf is not a walk in the park. It is a sport ! A baseball home run slugger is a strong guy who's emotions create a powerful swing. This is how golf lag is created as well. It is a natural result of making an aggressive sports swing. I've tried to "manufacture" lag at least 100 times. It never works in the end. Get back to actually playing a sport, and you will have all the lag you want without even trying. It is impossible to cast the club with an emotion filled sports swing. It simply does not happen.
@@craigjohnston2980 May be weird but if you want to remain a hack all your life create lag and play golf like a lady pansy. I'm a scratch player who hits my drives 300 yards. I do it because I treat the game as a sport. Good instruction books and articles will ALL tell you that. Hacks create lag and think that is going to give them distance. Just another RU-vid click bait post. It is also why pros are so long today. They go after it and let that create lag all by itself. The muscles can't hold back.
@@craigjohnston2980 LPGA players do not take a girly girly lag swing, They are athletes playing a sport. And an athletic swing creates it's own lag by a maximum amount. When one "creates lag" (which you can do) all they really do is slow things down. Yes, you swing slower and perhaps smoother, but you remain a hack. Get up there with emotion and turn yourself into an actual athlete. The lag will take care of itself. As I said, I have tried to create lag at least 100 times. It never works as a way of improving your game. This is why even small LPGA players hit it phenomenal distances, some of them even as far as men.
Real perspective on the game, about time someone woke us up to it again ! It’s the Seve in all of us playing The Open in a howling wind ! You ll have to hit the ball there with conviction ! Take that and play every shot like that intensity, small or big !
Mixed bag? I agree. Not all drills work for everyone and this drill certainly won’t work for everyone. There’s a hundred “lag” drills out there and even more fancy expensive training aids. Why? Because every great player who has ever lived produced lag in their swing in one way or another. It’s crucial to produce exponential club head speed and attack angle to the ball. Can you be a good ball striker without lag in your swing? Sure! But you’ll sacrifice spin, ball speed and club head speed. I appreciate everyone’s comments! Keep em coming! Any suggestions on more tips?
