Now I found this is one of the most counterintuitive parts of the golf swing, and that's understanding what the momentum of this club wants to do. And once we get this man coming up with a solution to a lot of the things that, that give us trouble in our golf game, come really easy. Let's start out with lag.

Well, if we set this club very early, so I want you to grab this club by a couple fingers, you'll notice that if I don't set this club very much at all and I get very, almost like a John Rom swing, so if I get a big backswing, my hands get way back here, but I don't set the club. Watch what happens when I just take it with two fingers and I make my downswing.

It automatically wants to get some lag there. The momentum of the club where it's so far away, as soon as I change directions, it wants to get narrower there. Now what I find most players do is the exact opposite of that. You know, John Rom has this nice wide takeaway. The club is a mile away from his body wide at the top, and then as soon as he starts down, it starts to.

Most players will do the exact opposite of that. We want to get that lag so bad that we start to set the club really early. We think the earlier we can get that lag, the easier it'll be. Well, the same thing. If I set that club early and I get this sharp angle. As soon as I start down, look at what it wants to do.

It wants to fly away from my body. So a big part of getting lag in the golf swing his under. how the momentum of this club head wants to relate to what your hands are doing. If you want to get a lot of lag, there's a couple checkpoints here. Feel like your arms stay nice and wide. I want to feel like my club head when I'm halfway back is as far away from my body as possible.

Now, I don't wanna slide like this to try to get it farther away, and I don't really want to just push the club out of there. I just wanna feel like when I set up my arms are nice and relaxed in the club, and as I rotate back, I keep it nice and. At the top of the swing, what I want you to feel is you make a big turn.

Really get those shoulders going. Really get those hands nice and high, but I want you to feel like you don't set the club very much at all. You're gonna feel like the club's up here, in reality, it's gonna be much closer to parallel. But if you feel like it's up here, as you start down, the club's naturally gonna start to lag, and then it's gonna whip through contact and you're gonna have a lot of speed.

Let me go ahead and use that same feeling. That's not what it's gonna look like on. But I'm gonna feel exactly what I told you there. And notice how I have tons of lag here and I can really get a lot of club ed speed without feeling like I have to swing all that hard. Let's give it a whirl.

There we go. And I really felt like that club as it's coming down, it almost wanted to hit me in the shoulder. All the momentum was working this way rather than picking up early and throwing it that way. Now that same idea. What is the momentum of the club? Works great if you're slicing the ball. Now, same idea.

If I feel like I take that arm and I drag the club inside, what ends up happening, I get the club inside. As it loops around, the momentum of that club wants it to be steep, so it looks something like this. If I grab it with a couple fingers, I drag it inside. All of a sudden the club gets steep like this and it wants you to chop down over the top.

What I want you to do here as you're going. Just like we talked about, getting that club way away from, you feel like it stays outside your hands. The player that does this to the most extreme would be a Matt Wolf. He does this to the, to times 10, but I want you to feel like you have a little bit more of that Matt Wolf swing.

It's not gonna look like that at all, but if you feel like that club goes out now when you change directions, it's gonna loop to the inside. Now that feels a little bit crazy. That looks crazy when Matt Wolf does it. I don't want you to do anything like he's. But if you feel like you have a little bit more of that in your swing, it's gonna end up looking like a really good swing where the club drops in the slot from the inside like we've been working on.

Now again, I'm gonna have the feeling like I make a Matt Wolf swing, just a little bit of that Matt Wolf swing, and you're gonna see how my club really wants to shallow out, and it also helps me to get a nice draw when I'm doing that. So here, I'm gonna fill this. The club comes up and then it changes direction and shallows out.

Let's go. And see what that looks like when I make a real swing doing that. There we go. Hit that one. Great. And you can see that it didn't look crazy when I actually swung like that. A little bit goes a long way. You'll be surprised how much easier it is for you to get from the inside when you're doing that filling.

Now, there's an easy way to incorporate this to the long term, to your swing. If you're a member of top speed golf, what I want you to do is go to the lag section. Now, what we talked about there is Matt Wolf trying to. That club's shallowing out. That actually helps you to get lagged. You'll see as I shallow out my club here, this angle can sharpen up a little bit.

I'm gonna be able to have a sharper wrist angle. I'm gonna have more lag there in the downswing, and I'm gonna get some more club at speed. You're also gonna, when we talked about that club being wide and then narrowing it up, that helps us to get lagged. Well, both of those are just the lag section. These are some of the drills that I go over in the lag section of the top speed golf system.

Those are just a couple that are gonna help. Finally get that lag once and for all. But if you wanna ingrain it, there's a difference between I had lag today, I went out to the driving range, I went out to the course and I hit it great today, but in two weeks it's gonna fall apart. Versus I had lag today and I didn't have to think about it.

And every time I show up to the golf course, I have tons of lag and I can hit the ball well. Well, in order to get there in your golf game, what you're gonna want to do, if you remember a top speed golf, go to the instruction tab that you'll see at the top of your home. Click on the top speed golf system and work through the three levels of the lag section there.

As you get to level one, and as you do the drills we talked about here today, yeah, you're gonna hit it great today on the course, but you're not gonna necessarily have it for a lifetime. When you get to level two and level three, that's when it becomes ingrained in your game. You never have to think about lag again.

You've done your reps and. Your first swings outta the car look pretty dgg on good, and you hit the ball. Pretty dgg on good too. So going over to the lag section. I can't wait to see you there and I can't wait. Help you get a whole lot more lag and just have a, a blast playing golf. I'll see you there.
