  1. This is what Rick and I have been working on for a few months now.
    I’ve posted the teaching videos on here for Driver and Irons.
    Excellent tip and the distance increase is dramatic. Feel free to look at
    them folks.?

  2. now extra club head speed or distance without releasing it properly!!!! you
    need to mention that surely.?

  3. Think this one is beyond me for now – my swing seems fine so I really
    don’t want to fiddle with it much – I don’t think I get back anything like
    as far as that but, the club seems to reach 90deg – however, I don’t really
    need any more power as I am a long hitter and whip the head through very
    fast – in truth I am hitting it further than my eyesight can see so a long
    drive is a risk of ball loss – at the moment I am using the driver less and
    less :-)?

  4. Good one about the lag, bit I think you left an important thing out. Lag
    doesnt equal speed if you dont release the lag at impact. A lot of players
    hold the lag and dont release it at impact, making them hit poor shots.

  5. And leave the club face open, creating a massive slice. Lag is a nothing to
    the average golfer and only works on golfers who understand impact, even
    then the gains are minor. For the average golfer, lag isn’t a word that
    should ever be mentioned.?

  6. Awesome. I know I need to have more lag in my swing, but you’ve explained
    ways and feelings on HOW I achieve this. Keep the tips coming :-)?

  7. The exact video I was thinking about! Still trying to get my head around
    lag. I’m sure it’ll become clear when I go for a hit tomorrow.
    Thanks Rick!?

  8. Quality! Great to see you back Rick and huge congrats on the new addition
    (your daughter, not the SLDR!) Are you gonna get some more course vlogs
    going with ‘The Finch’? Really enjoy both you guy’s stuff. Been a great
    help to my game. ?

  9. Don’t know if this helps, but the way I learned lag was to relax my grip
    and arms slightly when I set my hands at the top of the backswing. The
    feeling is sort of like you are letting gravity take over to return the
    club to impact rather than trying to muscle the club through the ball. I am
    not a long hitter, but I get the most out of what I have, and I am very
    accurate.?

  10. Surely if you start your transition in the correct sequence fire the hips
    which drops the left shoulder automatically, upper body follows, arm trails
    as does the club then lag (if nice and relaxed through the swing) is
    something that naturally happens. I think ppl get too caught up in lag and
    forget about the other ways to create it (naturally) concentrate on what
    comes before lag and the lag will create itself. ?
