If you still don’t feel lag in your swing, even after all the other instruction you’ve had, this new drill’s exactly what the “Lag Doctor” ordered!<\/p>\n

\"forward<\/a>
Too much shaft lean? Not in this drill!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And if you’re making progress but still want more lag, it’s time for another\u00a0big leap in your improvement.<\/p>\n

The drill below is one of the drills from our latest Premium Video, “Hands Ahead at Impact Exaggeration<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

It’s all about getting you lag and that forward shaft lean<\/strong> needed for penetrating shots with less effort.<\/p>\n

But beware: This drill may give you too much lag!<\/p>\n

I want you to exaggerate the feeling of lag first, and once you feel it, then you can go back and tone it down.<\/p>\n

Sound good? \u00a0Then let’s get started!<\/p>\n

First Step:\u00a0 Lose the Club<\/h2>\n

Don’t worry!\u00a0 We’ll bring back the club shortly.<\/p>\n

But I want you to get the exaggerated feeling of lag in your golf swing<\/a> before involving the club.<\/p>\n

So, get into your normal swing posture, and swing your left arm back (to about the 9 o’clock position) while making sure that your wrist stays nice and flat.<\/p>\n

Then swing your arm through, letting your wrist bow<\/strong>, until it’s about 6 to 8 inches in front of your lead leg.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the pic below to see what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"lag<\/a>
Let your wrist bow a bit on the downswing as you see here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The back of your left hand will feel like it’s pointing straight down at the ground.<\/p>\n

This will put you in the position of extreme forward shaft lean<\/strong> that I want you to feel.<\/p>\n

On the follow through, make sure that you do this drill with your weight on your left side<\/a>. \u00a0(You can even preset your weight on your left side if you want.)<\/p>\n

Add Your Right Hand<\/h2>\n

After practicing swinging your left arm through, add your right hand.\u00a0 Throw it into your left hand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"lag<\/a>
Throw your right hand into your left. It should look like this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s almost like giving yourself a low five.\u00a0 And as you can see with the pic above, you’ll be in a position of a ton of forward shaft lean.<\/p>\n

Now Let’s Add Your Club<\/h2>\n

After about 30 to 40 repetitions of this drill without the club, let’s do the drill with your club.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"lag<\/a>
Now that we’ve added the club, it’s easier to see this exaggerated position that I want you to feel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adding the club will help you feel this exaggerated drill better.<\/p>\n

And if you’re really struggling with lag, there are more drills in the new Premium Video<\/strong>, “Hands Ahead at Impact Exaggeration<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

But with all this lag, be careful…<\/p>\n

I don’t want you to swing this way!<\/h2>\n

Just remember that this is a drill.\u00a0 The goal is to help you break your old habits and to help you feel an increase in your lag.<\/p>\n

If you try to hit balls with this much forward shaft lean, you’ll probably hit a nasty block.<\/p>\n

So, make sure that you tone it down a bit if you start blocking shots.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
