Golf Swing Lag Creation and Lag SustainmentLaggolf.com is proud to announce the discovery and publication of the Golf Swing Lag Creation and Lag Sustaining Fundamental. Lag is defined as "to stay behind". In the golf swing, lag is that ability that allows the golfer's hands to stay ahead of the clubhead before striking the golf ball. Lag creation and sustainment is the most important fundamental in the golf swing. Without lag, the other fundamentals -- grip, stance, etc., don't really matter. Knowledgeable golfers know that no matter how different or unorthodox, all effective swings have one position in common. At impact, the skilled golfer's lead wrist is effectively flat or bowed facing the target, the trail wrist is flexed backwards, and the trail arm is bent. The trail wrist and arm do not fully straighten until after impact. How does the highly skilled golfer reach this position so consistently? The answer is lag -- his golf swing produces and sustains lag in the downswing. All of the following downswing actions and positions: lead knee buckle, vertical drop, sit down move, trail elbow dropping to trail side, proper hip movement, upper side leaning away from target, club shaft covering the trail forearm, trail forearm on the proper plane, retaining the leverage angle, club shaft attaining its proper plane, forearm rotation, flat lead wrist, straightening of trail arm and wrist post impact, proper release, and balanced finish are the result of, not the cause of, this lag fundamental. This lag fundamental generates most and coordinates all of these actions and positions to produce a consistent solid ball striking downswing. Let's face it, the only time most golfers experience lag on the golf course is when they catch moss on their ball retriever in the water hazard. Most skilled golfers learned to lag the clubhead when they were young. To them, it is as natural as walking. Like the golf swing, walking is actually a complicated motion, but since we learned to walk while young it seems perfectly natural and easy to do. If a golfer cannot consistently lag his clubhead during his golf swing, he has not yet learned to walk upright in the golfing world. He is still in the crawling stage and therefore will never fully develop as a golfer. This lag fundamental will enable him to stand up, and then learn how to play this fascinating but complicated game we call Golf. Also, once your body becomes accustomed to lagging the clubhead your putting and chipping will start to improve, especially in distance control. Lag will not only improve your ball striking, but will give you a better feel for the short game. Even if your swing already produces and sustains lag, the knowledge of this principle will be beneficial to you during that time you momentarily lose your rhythm during a round. Awareness of this lag fundamental will quickly get your swing back on track. Though this lag fundamental is not established in golf swing instruction, someday it will revolutionize the golf swing instruction community. This is not just another golf tip, dust collecting golf book, or gizmo training aid. When you order, you will receive a letter of instruction as straight forward and to the point as this page. This letter of instruction will instruct you on what the fundamental is and how to assimilate it into your swing. This principle is for all golf swings and golf swing methods.
