Drill to Increase Lag and Fix Left Thumb Pain / Soreness

Casting the club in the downswing is one of the most reliable ways to destroy club head speed and rob your swing of power before it ever reaches impact.

If you feel like you have tried everything and you are still casting, you may be surprised to learn that the root cause can be traced back to something as simple as your lead thumb position and pressure.

A telling sign is if you are experiencing any lead thumb pain or soreness in your golf swing — that discomfort is your body sending a clear signal that excess pressure is building in the wrong place at the wrong time.
