THE Secret Key to Creating Lag in the Golf Swing

Lag is widely regarded as the holy grail of the golf swing. Legendary ball strikers like Ben Hogan and Sergio Garcia maintained extraordinary amounts of golf swing lag, allowing them to generate tremendous clubhead speed and hit the ball remarkable distances with what appeared to be minimal effort.

For the typical amateur golfer, lag in golf feels like a closely guarded secret that only naturally gifted players and elite ball strikers can access. Many believe you either have it or you don’t.

As a golf instructor who is dedicated to teaching the real physics and biomechanics behind the swing, I can assure you that there is nothing mysterious about lag at all. In reality, creating and maintaining lag is something any golfer can learn when they understand the correct mechanics. It’s actually quite straightforward once you know the right approach.
