Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today I want to talk to you about club head lag. A lot of times people take it back and there's an angle formed between the left arm and the club shaft that is how club shaft lag begins. Now it's transition what you're going to find with the club head stays behind behind behind you until naturally releases. So in order to work club head lag first you must create club head lag and then you must maintain transport and deliver club head lag.
Let me show you a great drill so you can work on making sure you maintain club head lag from the top. You want to take in the top and stop make sure there's an angle between your arm and the club shaft and then from there stop count two 1, 2 and then swing through. All you're trying to do is make sure that you're with the body brings the club shaft down as opposed to throwing your hands at it. So for those of you who tend to cast it I would highly recommend you work on this drill take it to the top stop swing down and what you're finding is we're not trying to hit it very far we're just trying to take the hand and let them be very passive from the top. So that is the first way I would work on the transition from the top and if you do so I promise you won't throw it from the top quite so often.
