A great swing drill<\/strong> to do both indoors or out, this will get you in positions in your golf swing<\/strong> that you’ve never dreamed possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve struggled with casting the golf club<\/strong>, slicing, flipping and hitting fat shots, you will instantly improve your golf swing<\/strong> with this drill and you only need an impact bag<\/strong> to do it! Increasing lag in the golf swing<\/strong> and getting rid of the dreaded casting motion<\/strong> is one of the most sought after pieces of golf instruction<\/strong> advice there is and I show you EXACTLY HOW TO GET MORE LAG<\/strong> like in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it’s not necessary to have lag like Sergio Garcia pictured to the left, having sufficient lag in the golf swing<\/strong> is crucial to hitting solid and accurate golf shots and improving your golf swing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people are surprised to hear me say that lag is important for accuracy, but it is and here’s a quick explanation why. When you have lag coming into impact<\/strong> as you can see in the screen capture, I don’t have to do anything to square the clubface<\/strong> with my hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is, of course, assuming I have the proper grip.<\/a> If I release the club early at this point, the clubface<\/strong> is going to be shutting through impact and I will pull the ball. But, by not casting and not doing anything with my arms or hands (watch the passive arms video<\/a>) the clubface<\/strong> will quietly come into impact square with no conscious interference on my part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
