| Re: Lag Drills Graham!!! So glad to have you back...how the hell have you been?!?
What makes lag for me is the use of soft hands. And the ability to let gravity do it's own thing.
Pretty much anything we do to the club with force is going to create some sort of opposing force we have to counter to keep it under control. But gravity is one force we really want to use to our advantage, because if positioned right, there is nothing we have to counter, it will work for us.
So, with that abstract idea in mind (it is meant to create this euphoric sense in your head to help clear out anything that will get in its way), try this:
Take the club to the top. And make your body, arms and hands perfectly balanced under the club. It's really a great feeling once you get it. You shouldn't have to do anything other then just keep this wonderful pose you can maintain. Almost like a statue. Like being able to hold a club where it is straight up and down and your palm under the butt end of the club balancing it perfectly.
From that position, it will be very easy to let the swing create a ton of lag. Because there is absolutely no tension at all. Forcing lag will do the exact opposite. Letting lag happen with balance and gravity's natural whip is the key to effortless power that is extremely easy to control.
