Creating Club Head Lag

Creating club head lag is what produces an effortless swing. You can choose to swing as hard as possible on every long distance shot or you can swing easier and use lag to your advantage and achieve quality distance and shot accuracy.

Club head lag is nothing more than the club following the hands and club handle through a shot. That creates leverage and produces additional club head speed to hit the ball maximum distances.

To create club head lag, on the downswing lead with the hands through the impact area and allow the club head to follow and then release into the back of the ball.

Practice creating lag by making half swings without a ball. Swing to half way back allowing the wrist to cock up. Maintain that wrist position for as long as possible in the downswing while leading into the impact area with the the club handle and hands. That is lag and will send the leverage created will send the ball a long way with little effort.
