In this video I discuss how to create lag in the golf swing. The ‘Lag Paradigm’ consists for most of trying to forcefully “hold on” to your lag as you transition. This concept is problematic.
It leads to excessive tension in the shoulders, elbows and wrists which ironically is what causes an early release more than anything else!
Creating lag requires a golfer to
increase the speed of their ARMS in transition. Most golfers conflate maintaining angles in the trail elbow with maintaining angles in the trail wrist. The trail arm should naturally extend as the club transitions and the arms drop. This in turn maintains the angle in the trail wrist ‘dynamically’ to create lag!
Remember the best players in the
workd drop their arms twice as fast and twice as far in transition than recreational golfers!
Enjoy the video and start creating LAG in your golf swing today!
Best,
Coach A.

Hey Andrew, thanks for sharing all the videos you've done. Most "golf coaching" channels are well into the weeds. It's nice to find a new take that keeps things straightforward
I am grateful for you taking the time to explain these concepts. Sending you well wishes
Another great video. Looking forward to giving this a try.
I’ll be moving to the NC area this summer for work. Might have to take to a trip for a lesson at some point sir!
Very good explanation and almost instantly doable!!! Thanks
Great video, Andrew. It's like Step 2 to angular speed. Thanks!
Great content and explanation 👌
Excellent instruction. Thanks.
Awesome video, explained beautifully! Could you do a video on how to better generate and use ground forces. Also when to apply them. Thanks
Great explanation Andrew. Curious, which course are you playing. Looks familiar, but can't place it. Cheers!
Hi Andrew, I just saw a video about Harvey Penick's "magic" downswing move. It seems to me to tie in very well with your LAG video. For me it is easy to visualize letting your trail arm/elbow drop. Not drive it down, but move quickly. The move seems to maintain lag a little longer and keep the chest pointed a little away from the target. Do you think this is something worth trying?
To people watching this video, Andrew is a terrific teacher, and unlike many online instructors he follows up! Get an online lesson or in person, you'll get better fast.
Really like your videos Andrew. I follow way too many teachers, and as you say some are totally opposed to one another. In their own convincing way.
Great visuals here A, love your explanation and drill sequence will give that a go at the range. Happy Masters Weekend 👍⛳️💪🏌🏾♂️
Excellent video. I don't come over the top with my swing but my downswing has always been a little steep. I think this video will be helpful for me.
this is so well explained…. just the explanation I needed…thank you. Thank you for giving a very thorough and straightforward explanation on this! I am headed to the driving range to work on this. I am 65yr and have been playing for 25+ yrs, but this was eye opening, as I jump in with my lower body too soon. Your channel is a gold mine for golfers at all levels. thanks for all you do…please keep the videos coming. I just subscribed to your channel. Yours in the only golf channel I will need…. its the best hands down!
Just got back from the range… had a push draw going… I think I am still using too much body. Hard to keep that quiet…but when I did, I got amazing results. ??,,,do you bring the butt end of the club down focusing on your right arm doing most of the work and then unhinging the right elbow into the ball? Seems the right arm would be stronger than the left for righthanders.
Been hitting it a bit from the top , tried this on the range Saturday and the difference was unbelievable , really really good , thanks
Excellent concept for the weekend warrior! I observe one of the things that separate the pro from the amateur is the pro's ability to separate their hip turn from their shoulder turn. A young pro, in their 20's, are flexible enough to do this and get posted up on the left side while their hands are still above their waste in the downswing. (Fred Couples is one exception, he can still do this into his 60's.) As the pro gets older, in his 30's, that flexibility wains and changes have to be made to stay competitive; Butch Harmon had Tiger work on this drill even before he turned 30.
I am really in tune with your teaching style. Thanks for breathing some fresh air into the mass of confusion available on YouTube.
Clear … concise … and no paralysis by analysis … You dropped some gems 💎 with real transparency…. Thanks for sharing!
Andrew, thanks again for clearing up the mysteries of the golf swing. Simple is good! Keep the videos coming!
Refreshing stuff thank you
Good points. Actually, for me, when my club gets to the top of the backswing, I feel 90% of my weight moving to my lead leg and I hold that weight there throughout the swing. This eliminates the need to rotate much at all. I'm 70 and in good shape but I can't do all the things required in the golf swing so I KISS. I maintain my lag because that's important. After that I only focus on keeping all my weight on my front foot. With those two thoughts, most of my balls with all my clubs (not the driver) go straight and high. The driver is another beast.
