– Now we all want to have tons of lag. You see basically every single pro golfer out there with this crazy angle of lag and then hitting it with tons of speed, tons of forward shaft lean, coming through contact. How in the heck do they do that? And why are my hands marked up like this? Well, a lot of times in the golf swing, we're talking about what's happening with the club, but we're not talking about what you actually feel. And this video, I'm gonna talk about exactly what you need to feel in your hands to create lag. The red is the bad things that you don't want to feel. The green is a good things. I'm gonna walk you through it step by step. So that you know for sure, how to create lag once and for all. Let's go and get started. Alright, so let's start with the right hand and you notice there's two red markers on there, this right thumb and
my right index finger. And if I'm looking at
where I grip this club, you'll notice that the red markings are farthest away from
the button to the club.
And when I swing, it's very easy to lose this lag, pushing on the end or this side of the grip here. So as soon as I start my down swing, what feels natural and the reason that you're probably losing lag right now is that as soon as I start down, if I push with my right thumb and right index finger, that's feels like I'm doing a lot.
I'm moving this club a lot. It feels like it's very powerful. But in reality, when I look at it from the down line view, is I push with this right index finger, that's what starts to kick this club a little bit steep. So if you're a little bit steep, that's where you're
actually putting pressure into the club, too much pressure in the club too early, also with this right thumb, as I start to push away from the target that kicks the club out. And again, it feels like I'm doing tons and tons of effort.
It feels like I'm putting a lot of power into the club, but all I'm really doing is losing club head speed. I'm burning up that club
head speed too early. So the right index finger and this right thumb, I want to feel like
they're completely passive, as I start my downswing. Now the second piece, this yellow here in the
middle of my right hand, my right middle finger. That one I want to use sparingly. If you're gonna feel some pressure in your right hand and as you're right handed, you're probably going to. I want to feel it mostly in these middle two fingers, my middle finger and my ring finger there. But I even want to use the right middle finger sparingly. So that's not on this side of the club. See if I really can't push this club, my hand is on it this way.
I can't push this club out with that middle finger. It's only this index finger and the thumb that can push that club out. So if I'm casting it, there's no way to cast this club unless it's coming from one of
these two red fingers, the middle finger, I want to use sparingly though. What I should feel is this ring finger in the right hand, I want to feel like as I go to the top of the swing, it's almost dragging
this club out this way.
So I almost feel like I'm
taking my middle finger and dragging it across the grip like this and that pulls it out to give me a lot of width. Now, when I do that, that's gonna allow me to create some lag, I feel like I'm going this way, as my body opens, my club is moving that way, and I have this big sharp angle. I feel most as sensation again from that green finger, just dragging the club out. Now, once I get about halfway down, that's when the real magic happens. That's when these , left three fingers really kick in, and this is what creates a ton of club head speed. So as I start my down swing, now I've got all this lag built up, but it doesn't do me any good, if I just hold onto it all the way through contact. I'm not gonna get that whip of speed at the bottom. The speed comes from taking this grip when it's kind of parallel
to the ground here. And you can imagine, when my club is parallel to the ground, my hands are already in
front of my right leg.
The club heads way back here. Now, what I wanna do is I want to take this grip or where my bottom three fingers are, there on the grip. I want to take that club that's now parallel with the ground and I want to make it
vertical with the ground as quickly as possible. And what that's gonna do is that's gonna kick this club and push it forward or pull it forward if you want to call it that. Whip it forward 90 degrees and it's going to happen in a very short period of time, it's gonna happen for when my hands are in front of my right leg here, to when my hands are in
front of my left leg, it's going to be vertical. And it's those bottom three fingers that are making that happen. I want to feel like I'm taking this grip and I'm almost popping the end of this grip off. If this shaft was any weaker, if it wasn't as strong as it is the steel wasn't as strong, I would feel like I just snap that off.
Like I'm gonna take this grip and just pop it. And the grip is gonna
snap into two pieces. That pressure is coming from these bottom three
fingers turning back up. So if you imagine I have a golf club or a fishing pole in my left hand, I have these three fingers now, when I pull down, that's gonna whip that forward, that's gonna cast this club and casting is good as long as it's at the bottom of the swing.
So to recap, the big points here, the red fingers are the only ones that can cast and cause
you to lose lag here. I wanna use this pinky finger to drag it across the club. And then from there, once I get this lag, it does me no good unless I get rid of it. I got to take those bottom three fingers and let that really rip off the club. Let me go and hit one and I got one more piece. It's incredibly important to making all this happen. There we go. That is absolutely as good as I can hit an iron shot, dead straight as a bullet. Really, nice. Now, if I wanna create speed, if I want this to happen, I can have tons of lag and still not the club head speed that I deserve.
The club head speed comes from two pieces. Number one, loading my body correctly. And then number two, getting the lag in the whip of the club correctly through contact. Now there's a couple of secrets that most people don't know, about loading up properly and really feeling like you're getting the most potential power from the least amount of effort. Now, I call that the power turn in the top speed golf system. And I'm gonna share you, some of the absolute secrets to getting the best turn you can. If you struggled, if you feel like the turn is hard, you're going to want to watch this 'cause I can make the turn easy for you. I'm gonna play a preview that video, here in just one second. All you need to do is click the card that pops up somewhere on your screen. That's gonna give you instant access. You're going to be able to get instant access to that video and I'm gonna share a
couple things with you, you don't want to miss
on creating that turn.
Once you create the turn and you add the lag and release to it, you're gonna hit it pretty dag-gone good. So I can't wait to share it with you, let's go and get started. Most of the instruction out there today is killing you of your power. The things that they're telling you to do can make you hit it shorter and worse than that, not even any more consistent. I'm gonna go over some of the real secrets to
powerful consistent golf in this video, let's go get started. So here's some of the keys to making that happen.
If you wanna incorporate
this in your swing, let me break it down exactly what you should do. Number one, let's focus
on the belt buckle. This is another big misconception. I wanna keep that belt buckle facing the ball so I can really stretch out my midsection and really get loaded up. I'm not a big fan of that, that's really gonna kill your distance. And your back swing, I wanna feel like that belt buckle rotates to the right and you really let your hips and legs be loose.
Notice how my legs are moving here, I'm not trying to keep
those rigid and tight, or I'm really just taking all the speed out of my swing. Alright, so on that one, I really felt like, I let my belt buckle rotate back, and a good key to this is feel like your knees are loose, feel like when you make your back swing. Piece number two, let's go ahead and rotate our shoulders. When I let my lower body rotate, my upper body can rotate
a lot better also. So if I let my hips move, my shoulders will move more. So here once I've got
my hips working well, I'm gonna add to that, my shoulders making a big rotation. On average on the PGA Tour, players are getting about 120 degrees of shoulder rotation. I don't see hardly anybody getting less than 90 degrees. So it starts with the hips, knees nice and loose, allow the belt buckle to rotate and then from there… So, those are two really big keys, but here's the truth.
There's one thing. and if you don't do this correctly, nothing else is going to work..
