How to Finally Get Your Hands Ahead at Impact

Today we’re going to talk about a powerful drill that teaches you how to exaggerate the positions of lag at impact. If you’ve been spinning your wheels trying to keep the clubhead behind your hands on the downswing, this approach can be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

This drill is intentionally an exaggeration. You’ll begin with normal positions of golf swing lag and push them well beyond what you’d ever use on the course.

This is specifically for golfers who have been unable to get sufficient lag in the downswing. The goal is to create ten times more lag than you’ll ever need in a real swing. Once your body finally understands what that sensation feels like, you can dial it back to the correct amount and start hitting the ball with genuine compression.

The first step is to set the club aside entirely. Put it down, settle into your address posture, and simply swing your lead arm back and through. Stop when your lead hand is 6-8 inches in front of your lead thigh.

Make sure your lead wrist stays completely flat during the “backswing” portion of the drill. You don’t want any cupping or bowing creeping in — a flat lead wrist at the top is essential to maintaining proper wrist angles throughout the motion.
