    I’ve been working on improving my lag both to increase speed and improve contact as my sole and primary focus for weeks now, and this is far and away the most helpful video I’ve found. Keep it up!

    I don't normally comment on videos that I see on RUclips. But, after trying this EASY tip, my index dropped immediately from 13.6 to 8.9. Iim in my mid 50s and thought that my lower scores were behind me. I shot a 75 the other day!! I can't believe that this simple little drill helped SO much. Thank you!!

    OMG. I've been working hard to get my body open at impact for a week and hit hundreds of balls trying to get the upper body in the right position with little progress and a sore back. I watched this video last night, went to the driving range this morning, hit about 30 balls using the right arm drill. I was really shocked at how quickly I got the proper body turn ingrained. Then, I went to the course and took a one-arm practice swing before each shot. I executed the proper swing almost every time. My main issue was hitting the ball too far with my irons. I'm really pumped! THANK YOU!

      Happy to hear it worked so well. Keep up the good work and once you get the distances down with the new swing, the scores should follow.

    Clay, your positions & swing concepts are spot on. I have learned many swing concepts by your teachings. My problem with instruction is you can demonstrate the swing, but people can not apply it. The large muscles of the hips, back, & shoulders are being ignored. The golfer must concentrate on commanding the large muscles to complete a task so the arms, wrists, & hands can follow. For example: if standing straight up, if you want to turn your upper body to the right, the muscles in the back & shoulders must be contracted to "pull" the mass back on the right side to move the left shoulder to the right to complete the turn. I believe this awareness will change how a golfer perceives to accomplish their swing positions.

    Thanks Clay, this video helped me so much to learn what it is supposed to feel like to hit correctly. It made sense after I started throwing the club how natural the hips turn ahead of the arm. Went to driving range today and applied it. What an epiphany! Thank you

    I'm a year late seeing your video. You pointing out my elbow going out and not getting into the slot causing my over the top pull hooks has definitely improved my swing. Another subscriber you've helped. Thanks Clay!

  • @vimalmittal5603
    @vimalmittal5603 5 лет назад +2

    If u keep your right elbow tucked in all the time then you do not need to worry about casting and everything works as you said. So do not fly the right elbow in downswing or backswing is the key. Right side is the pivot for downswing not only right elbow alone.

    • @TopSpeedGolf
      @TopSpeedGolf  5 лет назад

      Hi, thanks for sharing. Yes, you could do that but you'd be severely limiting your range of motion. It will be much more difficult to generate club head speed and potential distance. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

  • @alysgolfstudio567
    @alysgolfstudio567 5 лет назад +1

    Very helpful. One of the potential confusions out there that causes some of the difficulties you point out is advice and suggestion that you need width and combined with showing that pros head goes out and back on the way down and so that is something to copy. I know it has sometimes caused me these issues.

  • @AndrewDCDrummond
    @AndrewDCDrummond 2 года назад

    I’ve just figured out that this is probably the best drill and have been hitting balls into the net with it. Really shows the right side bend required, which brings that right elbow into the side, which seems to me the main difference between a poor swing and a good one.

  • @TenPester
    @TenPester 4 года назад +1

    I think a lot of new and mid to high handicap players think if they make the right arm tuck in, they'll sky it out right. When I had lessons, learning to tuck the right arm in was revolutionary to learning to draw the ball. A really good drill is to get a badminton raquet and shuttlecock and try and smash it as far as you can up the garden or field. No one at the range wants to be seen hitting range balls with one arm. A lot of golfing issues are either environmental or time based. Either 100 balls in 30 mins blasting the new driver before the next day on the course. Repeat, and watch videos on correcting things, and try it at the range again.

      That's nice work Scott, It's a great drill. I love these drills that are simple and can be practiced anywhere ... even in your backyard. I like the way it helps get the right wrist in a more cupped position at impact enabling better shaft lean leading to more power.

  • @chrisunruh6485
    @chrisunruh6485 4 года назад +1

    There is so much information out there that I am overwhelming myself. I watch a lot of your videos along with athletic motion in golf I think is the name of the other one. The athletic golf site talks about not tucking your right elbow in. What they were referring to is holding a towel under your right elbow through the entire swing. They also mentioned if you were to stop at the top of your backswing and Unrotate your hips and shoulders the club should be directly above your address position. Meaning the left arm does not go across the chest more than 23° some pros less than that. They talked about the arms moving up but the depth of the club comes from your rotation.
    My problem is after watching all of these videos is my hips are open before impact but my hands are lagging too far behind. I watched a demonstration on where the pros hands are when the club is parallel to the ground on the way back down. Pros hands are just at the trail leg at club parallel when my club is parallel My hands are still 8 to 12 inches behind my trail leg. I think it is causing me to have to speed up the clubhead and flip or have a feeling of flipping because I’ve lagged too much if that makes sense. Do you have any suggestions?
    I really enjoy your videos. Just so you know watching your videos has taken 7 to 10 strokes off of my game. usually I am a +10 handicap and now I am shooting very close to scratch.

    Great video Clay, I've only really taken golf seriously in the last 6 months or so but your videos are amazing, so simple but yet you have helped me to completely transform my swing. I was probably lucky to manage 105mph club head speed a year ago, now I'm getting up to around 120mph. The reactions I get from people down at the driving range awesome. Thanks heaps

      @poppajack5332 5 лет назад

      @@Algh-xw9xv I think a lot of it was that my swing was absolutely terrible before, using Clay's simple golf swing and lag videos I've learned to use my wrists more for lag, and working on getting a full rotation on the backswing. Also I had 10 months off work so I could go to the driving range 2 or 3 times a week and get plenty of practice. I'm 35 by the way, I would still like to get faster and stronger but I'd be happy if I hit straight shots everytime.

    Great vid. I am trying really hard to improve my lag. One question. I know you need to really hard grip on left hand pinky & ring finger, attached hard to my palm. When i am at the peak of take away, I tend to detach the grip (between palm & club/pinky/ring finger) every so slightly for quick sec (due to the momentum of the take away. Is this wrong? or normal to create the lag. Or is this wrong because over swing / too fast take away?

    • @TopSpeedGolf
      @TopSpeedGolf  5 лет назад

      Hi Dan, it sounds like you don't have a very secure grip. I would recommend searching our channel for some grip videos. You want to make sure you have a short thumb to give you maximum coverage on the grip for security and still be able to get a good wrist hinge. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

  • @Zephyrus47

  • @mesillahills
    @mesillahills 2 года назад

    Accomplished players do not create or manufacture lag. Hacks do that. A good swing creates lag automatically. It's an aggressive and sports move with emotion that creates lag. Look at tour players today. They are athletes, not wimps with a swing using self-created lag to hit the ball. I've tried it many times and it never ever works in the end. You have to get back to a good aggressive swing. Just listen to Tiger these days as he talks about the need to get back to a powerful swing. That is where his lag is. You are not going to hit the ball over 300 yards with self-created lag. You are going to do that with athleticism.

    Lag is a result of swinging with all 5 levers in a common plane.
    it is impossible to cast , when the 5 levers are pulled in this SLOT

      Hi Kyle, you're club head speed need to be around 115 mph to consistently be able to hit it 300 yards. If you're wanting to hit it 300 and you're not swinging that fast then I would recommend working through our 20 Minute Distance Fix program on our website. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

    Hi.....Yes im the GolfMyth buster.
    Lag.......? So you want use stiff shaft and then do all this and struggle your behind off to achieve ......"LAG"
    Why not just use flex shaft and get your lag for free.......Comon guys!
    You will argue....yeah but this and yeah but that.
    Im biblical! Go and proof yourself. Take a Driver with weak flex and hit the damn ball. I dare you.
    See what happens.....Ohh so it fade....Then adjust your swing.....to compensate!
    Lot of myths in golf that acctualy complicate it for players.
    With spinal cord fusion and limited spinal(28% less) turn....I adapted my swing. I dont suport the left arm straight myth.
    Connecting that to consistancy is just a theory!
    Most golfers cant achieve the straight vertical left arm...club perfect horizonal on top. It complicates golf......setting unrealistic demands...resulting in negative feedback! It takes REPITION.....PRACTICE......10 OOOs of shots to achieve a skill. I am convinced with the years of effort Tiger...Rory.....Phil..Rahm have dedicated and acnieved.....(Modern, popular swing dynamics).....that they would have done the same....had they started of with unconventional(arms only) type of swing. NOT KEEPING LEFT ARM STRAIGHT THROUGH OUT SWING.
    Golf has become showbiz.....looks....photo finish...media trends....brands.....and the IMAGE......is dominant.
    Lets see if my unconventional swing land the ClaretJug! Stick around till St.Andrews 2021.
