My compliments for your great work and thanks for the tips. This Mop drill is one of the drills Ben Doyle always uses, even with pros like Grant Waite and Steve Elkington. Besides this mop drill, he uses drills with the impact bag in a proper way, a tire and also with a small piece of wood pushing(dragging) against a box to get the sensation how this lag should feel like. And also to experience the way your whole body responds to this motion. Go to Youtube and search Ben Doyle. kind regards from the Netherlands hi John.

Indeed, Lag is not that complicated to do once you know what to do and what to look for and in this regard, pressure feel is the key. Your accuracy problems with your longest sticks suggest that you are now doing better with your Lag but still struggling with geometry! I suggest that you focus on your hands to make sure that 1) you keep your left wrist flat <strong>at all times</strong> 2) and even easier to do: <strong>keep your right wrist bent as long as you can and well past impact</strong>. With the longer clubs, low point of your swing arc tends to merge with your ball location and for many players, impact is the end of the action and they stop dragging/driving their club head starting from impact. This is very wrong. Even if it feels weird at first, you must continue the job until the end of the followthrough (the both arms straight position). Only then you can let go the Lag pressure feel AND stop thinking of keeping your right wrist bent (along with the left being flat (but you know that!)). Keep us informed of your findings and good golf! Hi Jason, welcome aboard and thanks for your support!

Your explanations of lag and how to feel it thru pressure points is mind blowing. I never knew it could be so simple. I realized how little lag I did create with my old swing. In fact, I'm sure I was casting the club most of the time. I hit my irons better now than I ever have but I struggle to hit my driver or any wood for thay matter with this technique. I jerk every shot straight left. Could you explain to me what Im doing wrong. Hi, just discovered your website after searching for ways to

I find myself using it at times to increase pressure,(almost like pinching towards the pessure point) Not sure whether the thumb should be kept out of the picture. Thanks.

Speaking about the DVD, nothing is planned yet but it is a good idea that I keep in mind. However the good news is that an EBook is on it's way and it should make the readers of this blog happy! ;-) Thank you for your support Mike.

You must focus on something more repeatable and more reliable; <strong>Your hands control the entire motion</strong>. Therefore, learn to move them along the correct path and everything will follow. Put your <strong>mind in your hands</strong>. Focus on <strong>PP#3, find it and move it along the target line</strong>. Be assured that the clubhead will follow in the same path, as sure as a trailer behind a car. You pull your shots because you have taken the habit to send your hands in the dreaded outside-in path. You'll have to "educate your hands" to <strong>"trace"</strong> (sorry, I have not yet written an article about that yet!) <strong>the base of the plane line</strong>. To cure your pull you can even move that PP#3 along a straight line going to the right. Keep going! Forget about slowing or accelerating the hips.

(I think) :) I don't think my swing is horrible, I normally shoot around par. My tennis swing on my forehand side however is probably not good as I was a top ranked junior and recently started playing again and have found that I cant hit the same kind of topspin like I did when I was young. I do agree that my muscles are out of balance because I dont take care of myself. Thanks for the tips - you are the man!! John-

You should do 'eccentric' exercises, that means slowly release the contractions. Yes - exercise with weights. Yes - even though you will scream with pain. Also start taking Gelatin 7 grams per day (Knox) and MSM glucosamine chondroitin along with Omega oils. Your muscles are imbalanced because you don't take care of yourself and also fire/push with your right hand during your horrible swing. ( Actually the best way to feel lag is to get married. ) David,
