Everyone wants lag yet few ever get it. Here is a super simple drill that you can try. When you do have someone video your swing and I guarantee you will have lag in your swing.
The great majority of golfers hit with their arms. This moves the club before the body. The word lag means something is trailing behind something else. So if you have no lag your club is moving before your body so you need to do the opposite.
So moving your body is a huge part which will allow anyone to get lag. There is one more part that I show you in this tip. To demonstrate I show one of my students who was severely casting the club and doing a chicken wing through impact. I had him do the drill and instantly his club was lagging. After you do the drill and see that you are getting leg then you need to keep doing the drill and feel what it feels like to finally lag the club.

This makes more sense than any lesson I’ve ever seen by anyone. Well done!
Paul would you also do this for driver?
Been trying to get this lag thing forever. This is a great explanation. 1 question: What actually drops the club on the down swing? Do you pull it down as you rotate OR do you let gravity pull it down as you rotate? Great stuff as always.
Thanks Paul. Crack the whip?
Paul- how does Jon Rahm create so much lag with such a short backswing?
Agree, I have difficulty at impact with club face control, timing, loose grip, thus not hitting the ball flush on the clubface. Any suggestions on how to overcome this?
Logical tips to understand the swing ,thank you Paul
Thanks Paul 👍🏻
I don't have trouble creating lag but rather where to release it. Before or after impact?
great explanation
Very enlightening thank you Paul
Great advice and explanation. Thanks Paul
Great video Paul and you make it so clear
