CD010. How to Get Lag in Your Golf Swing (Lead Wrist in Crazy Detail)

In this video, you’ll discover how to get lag in your golf swing.

You’ll learn, in crazy detail, how your left wrist moves so you can build and release more lag and increase your swing speed.

Before you get the details of the left wrist, you’ll get a drill to get a feeling of whipping your club through impact.

With your right arm only, swing the club in a circular path slowly and whip it through as the club approaches the ground.

The key move here is to not hurry the club when it’s above your head.

Similar to a real golf swing, I want you to feel how the club travels slowly except for when you snap it through contact.

This is how it should feel when you maintain and release your lag in the swing.

Next, you’ll learn tons about how to move your left wrist to hit with more lag.

In the backswing, keep your wrist loose and don’t set your wrists fully until you start the downswing.

Bow your left wrist to help deloft the club with forward shaft lean (key move to compress the ball).

Near impact, remember to get the whipping feel that you practiced earlier.

Practice these moves with just your left arm only.

This will help ingrain the lag producing moves.

Later practice with both hands and snap the clubhead through contact.

CD008. One Piece Takeaway in Golf | Crazy Detail

In this video, you’ll discover how to swing with a one piece takeaway in golf.

This is a very detailed video to help you develop a great takeaway.

I’m often asked…

“How do I make the perfect takeaway?”

Well, your takeaway doesn’t have to be perfect…

But it’s important to get a good start to the swing so you’ll be in a good position for the rest of your swing.

First, you’ll see a demonstration of a common takeaway mistake: dragging the club way to the inside.

This will put you in a bad place from the start.

You’ll have to make all sorts of compensations to get the club in a good spot at the top of you swing.

Another common mistake…

Picking the club up quickly without rotating the upper body.

This causes the club to rise up way outside, and again, requires other compensations to reroute the club and put it on a good plane.

Here are some tips to make a good takeaway…

Concentrate on syncing up your body and arms in the takeaway so you can avoid jerking the club back.

Keep your right arm straight (but relaxed) and let your upper body rotate back.

Also, make sure you shift your weight back slightly, pushing into the ground.

Next, you’ll learn how much club head angle matters in the takeaway.

Some pros have the club facing straight up while others like to have the club head angle match the spine angle.

I’ll show you why it really doesn’t matter much because the club head angle will change at the top of your swing.

Watch this video now to learn the common takeaway mistakes…

And discover the simple moves that’ll help you start your swing with a great one piece takeaway in golf!

CD007. Golf Swing Posture in Crazy Detail

In this video, you’ll learn about your golf swing posture in crazy detail.

You’ll get answers to questions such as…

When do you stay in your posture?

How much do you bend forward?

And…

How does your posture change throughout the golf swing?

There are 2 basic posture moves to focus on in your swing…

And this video will help you nail your posture for solid, consistent golf shots.

Flexion

This is when you create a sharp angle between your upper legs and torso.

Essentially this refers to you bending over a bit and bending the knees during your setup.

Later in the swing, you begin to stand up which is extension.

Note that you don’t want early extension or getting out of your posture too soon.

Side bend

If you stay in posture through contact, you’ll need side bend to the right.

In the video, I demonstrate how much flexion, extension, and side bend that you want.

There’s no exact rule for how much flexion you need, but you’ll get some general tips in the video.

Watch this video now to learn about your posture in the golf swing.

Get the details you need for making more consistent contact with your shots!

CD006. How to Use the Shoulders in Your Golf Swing | Crazy Detail

In this video, you’ll get a very detailed description of how how to use the shoulders in your golf swing.

To show you how to use your shoulders, you’ll get a close look at Adam Scott’s swing.

He has one of the better swings on tour and is a great model for this discussion.

Note that you shouldn’t obsess over every single detail about your shoulders…

But the goal is to clear up any misconceptions you may have on the topic.

So I don’t want you to make a 20 point checklist about your shoulders and spend the next 3 months trying to get your shoulders to move just like Adam Scott’s.

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll learn in the video…

Shoulders at Address

Your shoulders should be square to the target…

And your spine angle should be slightly tilted away from the target.

This will give you a slight tilt in your shoulders.

Shoulders in the Backswing

Your overall posture shouldn’t change much in the swing.

Don’t worry about the exact angles.

You just need to know that your spine angle and shoulders should be stable throughout the swing.

At the top of your swing, the shoulder angle shouldn’t have changed much.

As you’ll see in the video, Adam Scott does an incredible job at keeping his shoulders stable (again, just get the general idea; you don’t have to swing exactly like Adam Scott!)

Shoulders in the Downswing

As the lead arm is half way to contact…

Note that your hips should be rotating open more than shoulders at this point.

There’s a separation between your shoulders and hips that’ll help you whip your club through contact.

As you make contact, the shoulders will cinch together but are slightly open while making contact with forward shaft lean.

Shoulders in the Follow Through

Through contact, the shoulders and spine angle are still stable.

You’ll see that Adam Scott stays in posture well past impact; it’s stable to the point where his chest is facing the target.

Only after this point does Scott come out of posture.

He rotates so much that his chest points way left of the target.

You don’t need to be this flexible, but make sure you turn through as far as you safely can.

What You Need to Concentrate On

Throughout the video, focus on the stability of Adam Scott’s shoulders and spine angle.

Your consistency will shoot through the roof if you work on improving your stability and maintain your posture.

Watch this video now to learn how to use the shoulders in your golf swing.

Work hard and improve your consistency!
