How To Create Lag In The Golf Swing | Effortless Power

[@jyeu]

What a sensational vid. Gained about 15yards almost immediately visualizing that acute angle on the downswing. Thanks clay !

[@TopSpeedGolf]

My pleasure! Glad it helped.

[@stewdogg42]

I like it when you talk about your feelings.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Haha! 😂😂😂 You got me in the "feels" with that one!

[@davidgleason7245]

Thanks!! I’ve been watching your KZbin videos for a couple months and they have drastically improved my game. The videos got me hooked! Just signed up for topspeed membership.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad to help! Welcome to the All Access Club! 👍

[@Reason_To_Riot]

Clay!!! This is THE best drill for lag I’ve ever done. I’d also say it’s a great drill for guys like me that used to go past parallel at the top. This fixes both!

[@SudipNBinee]

This is like one of the best feels for creating lag I have seen. Thanks

[@thomasmichaels6850]

Love Jon Rahms swing. Him and Tony Finau, hands barely get to shoulder height on the backswing and they bomb it. Plenty of lag.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Yes, big, long guys that don't need a long swing like the majority of amateurs to create a lot of power. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@marco_gallone]

I’m so happy you made this video, this is something under clarified in many coaches videos! Thanks Clay!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DTB1995]

Clay is the GOAT of online instruction

[@EphraimJH]

Thanks for all the videos man... Seeing tons of small improvements thanks to you

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad to hear it! Keep up the good work!

[@MrAyeno3bad]

Hi clay. Crazy how much lag you create! When I try this I really struggle to time the release of the club and can’t strike the ball well my face seems to be way open at impact and slicing and making terrible contact. I feel like I am purposely trying to force the lag and hold it for too long.

[@kentdavies1988]

Just want to say watching a few videos of yours and taking mini practice swings in my basement, visualizing your tips in my head... I went to the range two days ago and I was hitting iron and wood shots off the mat like never before. Can't wait for spring.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Fantastic! Keep up the good work!

[@marcinos708]

that slow mo was insane!!!!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it! Play well!

[@TheGolfClan]

Great explanation. Will try this out at the range next time.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it was helpful! Best of luck!

[@richardjames4349]

Crazy question......what do you do with your old golf balls after you play a round or two with them? I have a crate full of old balls that have imperfections on them or ones I have found. What do you do with them?

[@robertmayer1497]

Send them to me ! Will use for practice.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

I give them to the guys in my group who don't really care what ball they're using. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@paulwalker8113]

Once the ranges are open I'll be giving this a whirl 👍

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Sounds good. 👍

[@stevefischer8254]

Same approach to irons?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Yes, it's the same swing with all full shots. Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@evansine4458]

So does the lag come as a result of you starting the back swing. Or from something with the hands pulling down

[@TopSpeedGolf]

The lag is created by increasing the angle between the club and the arms on the downswing. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@BeachBow]

Do you find that relaxing your right hand helps to whip the club?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Here is a great video where Clay discusses how to whip the club: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2fZZn2MoL-qecU Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@Mscott1529]

wow only 4 comments lol. Thanks for all the great tips Clay!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

My pleasure!

Hi Clay, love your videos. What video camera do you use to create your youtube content? Thank you!

@@TopSpeedGolf Awesome, thanks for replying back

[@TopSpeedGolf]

My pleasure!

[@anonwattchatrupavanid666]

How do you find this

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Not sure what you're asking. Play well!

[@fredr8159]

I like your instructions a lot and you‘re perfectly adressing my weakness with that lesson. But it‘s so hard for me to implement it. I keep on working on it. Cheers from France

[@OntheFringeGolf]

Keep practicing bud. Eventually, it'll become second nature!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

I couldn't have said it better than On The Fringe Golf. Best of luck!

[@Theworldinbrief00]

I love You Clay 😍

[@Just_virge]

Thank you

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You're welcome!

[@brodygoalie]

Right elbow touching your hip on down swing. Surprised not brought up. Agree?

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Yes, tucking the trail elbow is key. Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@brodygoalie]

Meant to ask . For a righty like most of us .ls it your right arm more dominating at impact? Didn't hogan push this in his videos ? Thank you.

[@phillipsmith1720]

Can us older, less flexible guys do this too??

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Yes, sir! Good luck!

[@ice300tw]

like bryson

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for sharing! Play well!

[@brodygoalie]

Completely different from ben hogan swing. Go to utube and watch and see what you think about this. Cheers

[@TopSpeedGolf]

The concepts are the same, Hogan just did them to the extreme. Flatten and sharpen the angle of the downswing and rotate and bow the lead wrist when the hands get to about waist level during the downswing. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@DH-sm7sw]

A bit like Matt Wolfe

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Not quite as exaggerated as Wolff, but yes, the same idea. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@Mrequine1]

Lag is dangerous it creates more problems in the golf swing!!!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Lag creates more swing speed if released properly. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor

[@Mrequine1]

@@TopSpeedGolf no it doesn't, mark crossfeild PGA coach has proven time after time it causes uncontrollable shots and issues in the swing, power is from your use of your lower body and spending time building up the strength!! My coach doesn't teach lag because of the same reasons.

[@waynepark]

Hmm… Exactly opposite to what Leadbetter teaches. Did this work for anyone?

[@MM-tn3br]

this is absolutely ridiculous

[@llgg5929]

Call it what it is FLOAT LOADING - YOUR OWN PARTNER HAS ALMOST AS MANY VIEWS IN 1 YEAR AS THIS VIDEO. You have nailed it but Michael does a better job describing it and drills on how to feel it. Same channel folks just a better video to help you get better compression, speed and use less effort - FLOAT LOAD it baby! Keep up the good work Clay and Michael. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYingKxma6iej9Esi=kQcWwqDfeygZQ_e_
