Well tried to work on lag and wasn't happening. So instead I just figured I'd try to work on correct positioning after swing and the lag would eventually come. So tried to really cross arms and have lateral bend.
Then today for some reason while hitting balls with my son and while working on rhythm I just imagined dragging my right palm on the mat to the left of the ball. This somehow worked for me and immediately my ball flight was higher straighter and the sound at contact was better. My shots were much more consistent.
This was confirmed by video and for the first time I actually had lag and my hands were in front of the clubhead at impact.
 |
| hands and shoulders at same level. Wrists still too active at this point. |
 |
| Club parallel to ground lag is real good. |
 |
| Hands in front of clubhead. Head not coming up as much. Hips should be turned more. |
 |
| Need more release and hips should be turned more. |
 |
| Hips are still not turned and release is not as good so lateral bend is bad so slight chicken wing. |
So I gave up the release and lateral bend for better lag. Well I can only concentrate on one thing at a time but the ball flight was much straighter and swing is more powerful with less effort. Ball wasn't going as far and stopped drawing. I had a slight fade in fact. But was very straight. I did loose some distance but it might have been because of the wind or that I wasn't swinging as hard since I was trying to groove the new feeling. Next step is to combine lag, release, and lateral bend.
