Great video Adam! I have the Lag Shot training club and I love it. I've got a garage full of training aids, but this is hands down the BEST full swing training aid I own! Glad to see you're using it.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much Matt. Glad the LagShot has been helpful to you!
All the best, Adam

I can't begin to tell you how much your instruction has meant to me. I took up golf at age 62 (I am a lifelong athlete) and assumed that at that age I would not find much improvement. The last couple of years has been an eye-opening experience. Two years ago I shot a 79 and last year scored 78, 76, 76. Much of this improvement has been the result of an enormous amount of practice and professional tips, particularly the ones I've gotten from you. Many thanks!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Very kind of you to say. Congrats on your progress.
All the best, Adam

An absolute genius at work and in how to get info to ANY level of golfer out there to actually figure out and work with .... by a mile the best on CZcams among many great PGA coaches here ;))))

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Very kind of you Gunnar.
All best wishes, Adam

[@BobC777]

There is SO much good information here that we all need to watch this many times, I may set CZcams in Loop mode & put the headphones on as I go to sleep.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Ha, thanks Bob. Hope you make good progress.

[@Wazoodust]

I Finally discovered the beginnings of this my last time out and was comfortably under 90 for the first time in a while, I was confident of contact and distance and direction were much more consistent, easier too! This video was well timed for me as I can understand the effects of doing this, and now I have things to do so I can build on this.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the note Dave, I hope you keep making good progress.

[@skinbanger2112]

Another informative video Adam. And a reminder, as I still struggle with too much grip pressure and not letting the club move freely. I believe it's more of a mental thing...fear of losing control of the club. Thanks again. Best Regards.

Thanks Todd, keep plugging.

great video adam. any tips or videos on how to take drill from short swing to full swing. thx!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Ivor.
I think it's just back and forth from half to full. The key is calming the mind, so that when you hit full you don't get intense and instinctive.
All the best, Adam

Two way move is really the gist for me. As mentioned, with relaxed wrists try it with some 60* 10yd chips. 2D and 3D has never helped me much. It's abstract. CONCEPT coNCePt CONCEPT. Great job Adam!

[@mojodanslabiblioteque]

That’s one smooth golf swing

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much

[@johnallen9466]

As usual Adam gives us something in small enough bites that we can can change our focus to build feel that really can't be done by the average golfer in the full swing. If you can't do it in a 50 yard shot, then there is no chance at a 200 yard shot.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much John.

Best, Adam

[@mraymer78]

@@Scratchgolfacademy went well today. i was hitting the ball more crisp for sure. then i started focusing on half swings and was hitting my 7 iron about 125 130 with very little effort. love me some Lagshot clubs! Oh and driver was straight after i worked out some kinks

[@thomasmccauley9607]

What grip is used on the lag shot irons. I would like to regrip all my irons with this grip as I hit the lag shot so well.

[@garywillis2031]

Does the short weighted swing trainer work as well as a club. I have one and it really makes your hands turn at the bottom of the swing.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Gary,
It could help, and more importantly it seems to be helping you. You might like the LagShot trainer too.

[@anthonylennen4067]

Adam I just bought thelag trainer clubs today. I tend to cast a bit with my driver particularly when into a lot of wind. I notice on video when I do that my right hip actually (unfortunately) at first moves to the RIGHT or away from the target which is horrible. I presume the lag trainer will force me to get my lower body moving first (to the left since I am right handed) if I use the trainer correctly?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Anthony,
I made a 10 video instruction series for LagShot buyers, I hope you’ll find it helpful.
All the best, Adam

[@reid1045]

Nice infomercial...I mean coaching video

[@mv7vs831]

I think your channel is great but what about the Gforce swing trainer which has been around for at least 2 years?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks. There are a number of flexible shafted training clubs over the years, the concept is a good one.
All the best, Adam

[@muffle2877]

When I hit my driver and want to hit it really far I always start using the arms to much instead of just turning the hips and letting the upper body follow. Do you have any tips? great vids btw, they really helped me out so far :)

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks. I have a number of videos at the channel that delve into this. If interested please go to www.scratchgolfacademy.com where I offer full detailed courses on all aspects of the game. I hope you'll consider it.

Thanks, Adam

[@albertwolski9843]

Where does the snap at the bottom of the swing come from...extending the right wrist??? ...or just continuing to move the hands through impact???

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Albert,
Ultimately the preceding segments (hips, trunk, arms) decelerate transferring energy to the club through the wrists. Think of slamming on the breaks in a car, the passengers (club) accelerate forward.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam

[@45twice]

👍

[@demzunoplayer]

Got one. Good. Can't cast this thing!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Hope it goes well for you David.
All the best, Adam

[@markspeeps]

Something I struggle with is to lock the wrists or cock them. So far it has been locked wrists. In doing so I feel I I am leaving yard-edge. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Hard to say without seeing you swing Brad, but if the wrists are too stiff you'll definitely lose speed.
Best, Adam

[@darraghorourke4058]

I’m just beginning golf I’ve played before but just signed up as a member this year I play right hand over left hand but I’m right handed do I need to change??

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Darragh,
If you mean cross handed, then yes, I'd recommend changing it.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam

[@darraghorourke4058]

Scratch Golf Academy yes cackhanded we call it 👍🏻 why is it so important to change?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

It's easier to create power, and st stabilize the club shaft through impact. There have been a few good cross handed players, but not many

[@tastymuffinss]

You don’t know how big whips are? How about how tight are handcuffs?

[@golpher12]

Sorry but I totally disagree with lag. I cock the wrists with the main focus on the right wrist. I uncock the wrists with main focus on right wrist and hitting with the right hand. Controlling and hitting with right hand. I am a 2 handicap and commonly hit 16 greens in regulation. I recommend the main focus on release and getting rid of angle. Full extension at the time of impact.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Rich,
I've taught golf for 35 years, so I've seen a lot of people struggle with the game. Some people do need to focus on 'getting rid of the angle' but only a small percentage, and almost invariably they are low handicappers or pros. Different pros even have different key's, or feels (Johnny Miller said he felt it all in the left hand, Hogan said he felt that he lashes his right hand........they look about the same on film).
It's a game where each individual needs to work on what THEY need to work on, and find a way to feel that for themselves.
All the best, Adam

[@Hangsengfutures]

Gain Max leverage.. not wrist to clubhead. Think about how to cast a fishing rod

[@Hangsengfutures]

Definition of Lag is not that... If the coupling point to the clubhead bend.. Think about it.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

There are a lot of ways to phrase things in the golf swing. You’re entitled to your opinion
