Downswing Lag Checkpoint
Lag is one of the most commonly misunderstood concepts in golf; players of all skill levels are often confused as to how it is generated and where to spot it when analyzing their own swings. On top of all this, there is also a point of diminishing returns for this concept. Students who over-exaggerate this pattern will often benefit from working in the opposite direction; movements such as “the unhinge” can be a huge help in these cases.
Overall, if you are struggling with a flip-release, poor contact/low-point control, or are simply looking to better understand the common golf adage that is “lag“, this is a useful and straightforward starting point.
