There are many different drills that you can use to get the feeling of lag throughout the golf swing. One of the easiest to use is a pause drill. And you can include this and you can build this into a regular practice routine and it’s something you can build into your practice swings when on the course. And it’s very simple to do. All you want to be doing is getting yourself set up to a ball in the range or the ball on the course.

And with your practice swings, you only want to be having two. You’ve taken it to the top, having a lot of wrist hinge going over to the top, a nice little shoulder turn, moving down into the point of impact, go in the hands pointing down towards the ball, then have a little bit of restart in swinging through. Try to maintain the angle between the wrists. On the second practice swing, same again, pulls here a little bit less time and then move through. And on the last practice swing, well, the swing, if you’d be here, they shot normally. It’s moving through. And try and produce those same positions without stopping. And it’s as simple as that. If you use a lot of these drills and if you hit a lot of shots like this, you’ll start to get the sensation of what it means to feel like coming into impact, first of all on the slow swing then a slightly quicker swing and then finally on a full swing. So what that looks like at full speed is to the side of the shot – oh, down, pulls, and then continue on. On the second one, just a slightly shorter pause, and on the actual swing, moving in and just trying to produce and just trying to feel those exact same sensations without stopping. And if you can move it in that way, use that a little bit of a drill in [line] to get that sensation and that feeling much, much quicker. 2016-08-26
