I’m sorry. Who me? What did I do wrong? Welcome back to 15-minute golf drills. Today we’re going to be talking about why lag in the golf swing is so important. Now, the cool news is I was giving a lesson earlier this week and I randomly stumbled upon this explanation and I kind of want to show you guys. This is what I’m talking about. So, what is lag? is essentially leaving the club behind us and our wrist angles or hinge increase on the way down so that the club head can snap out at the bottom and produce a whole bunch of speed. This is what I mean to just hold a golf ball in my dominant hand, the hand that I’m going to throw something with, or to hold it up here in front of me and brace that forearm with my opposite hand. All lag is is that hand that you’re going to throw the golf ball with is just bending backwards or goes into extension if you want to be that technical person. And how it works is because it’s bent backwards now I can throw this golf ball with a reasonable amount of power. Looks something like this. If I’m dropping the club in my down swing with no type of lag, it would be as if this wrist stays dead straight and you try to throw the ball. Can’t put much power on it. There you go. You don’t have much speed in your golf swing. Hey, Brandon, that’s cool. You just flicked a golf ball. How can I get it in a swing? Well, I’m glad you asked. If you can hold your hand up here and bend your wrist backwards, you can point your hand down here and bend it backwards. It’s the same thing. If you start with your hands just hanging down like you’re in a golf stance and just flex your trail wrist backwards or into extension, that’s the wrist angle I need you to drop the club into on the way down. Start here. Show yourself where it is. Head. Take it up to the top. Can you get your wrist or your hands to fall down into that position? Boom. Congrats. You just put lag in your golf swing. If you’re dropping it down with the back of your wrist basically dead straight, you’ve gotten rid of all that lag and you’ve used all of the speed that you had built up at the top of your swing, which means you got nothing down there at the bottom. With a golf ball first in your hand, take it up, drop it into that position, and then throw it kind of like that. What’s left is to do it with a golf club. Same feeling. Can you take it up and drop your hands into that same position somewhere around halfway down? Then turn and hit it. Congrats, you got lag in your golf swing. Now it’s a good thing.
