Only if you go at it with your hands Simon. If you work on turning through the ball with your body (and you can feel this either with hips, chest or even shoulders) with very soft wrists and hands you will be swinging though the ball. If youve been a flipper/swatter and tried to release by flicking your wrists and rotating forearms this is going to feel strange. You will feel very open at impact. However ven in an L-L drill you should be creating lag provided you keep those arms and hands loose and soft. The softer the better

This is all about learning not to swat by turning the body rather than hitting with the hands and staying loose. Once you get this you'll see the ball really flying off the clubface and it will feel effortless. Do it in slow motion first and then start to build up speed and then add a ball
