L023. Get in the Slot! | Baseball Swing Drill

In this video, you’ll learn how to get in the slot.

Think about how you swing a baseball bat…

I know, it’s been awhile… But when you grab a bat, it’s natural to hold off on releasing it until the ball comes over the plate. You build and release your lag pretty darn well without thinking about it.

If it’s natural to swing a baseball bat like that, then why is it so difficult for you to maintain your lag and release with power using a golf club?

It’s so frustrating…

You swing as hard as you can, but you cast the club early in the downswing and any hope of crushing your drive is gone. 

In this video, you’ll discover how to take the feeling of a natural power-producing baseball swing and translate it to your golf swing.

Like a baseball player connects with the ball and blasts a home run…

You’ll get the feeling of releasing all you got into the golf ball so you can start crushing your drives!

L022. Stop Chunking the Ball with Lag

In this video, you’ll learn how to stop chunking the ball with lag.

Chunking with lag… That sounds weird right?

Actually, it’s pretty common.

Let’s say you’re putting in a bunch of time trying to increase your lag…

And the good news is that you’re starting to swing with more lag.

Success!

Not so fast…

The problem happens when you focus tons of your effort on one part of the swing and ignore the rest of the swing.

It’s easy to fall into that trap when training your technique.

I’ve had a lot of students struggle with this while working on their lag.

After successfully creating more lag, they start to chunk their shots.

Understandably, that’s really frustrating.

So in this video, you’ll learn what’s causing you to chunk when you come into the contact zone with a lot of lag…

And you’ll learn the one swing move that you need to make in order to improve your ball striking.

L021. Stop Early Extension with the Tiger Squat

In this video, you’ll learn how to stop early extension with the Tiger Squat.

Early extension of the club is brutal for your club head speed.

You won’t be able to whip the club through the ball because you’ll be losing your lag early.

So what should you do?

Find out in this video.

You’ll learn the Tiger Squat that Tiger Woods popularized many years ago.

This move will help you maintain your lag longer in the downswing, and it’ll help you stay in your posture through contact.

L020. Feel Lag with the Pump Drill!

In this video, you’ll learn how to feel lag with the pump drill!

This is a great drill to feel the sensation of maintaining your lag in the downswing.

As you’ll see in the video, there are 3 checkpoints that you need to follow…

#1 Shallow Out the Club

This is important.

You don’t want to perform this drill and ingrain your swing with a steep club path.

So make sure you check your path.

#2 Don’t Forget Your Lower Body

It’s easy to perform the pump drill with just your arms.

The problem is that if you don’t use your lower body, you’ll mess up your sequencing.

Engage your legs and rotate your hips open while practicing the pump drill.

#3 Put it All Together

Pump your lag twice while engaging your lower body…

Then on the 3rd pump, swing through and make contact with the ball.

L019. Iron Swing vs. Driver Swing | Driver Lag Tip for Max Distance

In this video, you get a driver lag tip for max distance.

You’ll get a close look at how you should release your lag at contact.

Now, there’s a huge difference between how pros release lag with the driver and how mid-to-high handicap players release lag with the driver.

Pros make contact with a spine angle that’s facing more away from the target.

They do this to launch the ball higher, which helps them get more distance.

What’s interesting is when you consider forward shaft lean.

Hitting with good forward shaft lean delofts the club (around 20 degrees for pros).

If you’re swinging with a 9 degree driver, that leaves very little loft on the clubface.

So, what do you do?

Since you want more distance (like the pros), you’ll need to increase your spine angle away from the ball in order to launch the ball higher.

Watch this video now to get a great lag tip and crush your driver like the pros!
