- How do the best players in the world hit the ball so far with such a smooth swing? They understand how to lag the club. Lag is a power source in the golf swing that happens as a result of proper sequence. It is commonly thought of as something that happens in your wrists. While lag is often reflected in wrist angles seen on camera, it is not a wrist action you are looking for. It is a total body sequence. In this video, Michael Breed shows you a great drill you can practice to master this concept of lag, and increase your speed!If you’re enjoying what you see in this video, hit that like button and make sure you’re subscribed to the channel.

This is such a good lesson. So many instructors give you little drills to get lag through manipulation of the arms, wrists, hands and club and they don't teach how it happens naturally as a result of letting physics do its thing through the arms, hands and club without us interfering. I like that Michael emphasizes the rotation of the chest...which is a crucial part of setting the physics of the arms and club in motion. Not always covered well or even mentioned by YT instructional videos on lag.
Michael I have watched and learned a lot from your videos, but I have to tell you this video lesson demonstration on how to create lag for me is simply brilliant!
My strike consistency, compression distance and tighter dispersion were instantly improved phenomenally. For this amateur the best thing you’ve ever done. A single video lesson worth its weight in gold! I can thank you enough. You’re the best! Rich L from Phoenix AZ.
At about the ten (10) minute mark of this video, Michael, you made a swing, and you looked just like Ben Hogan.
just watched the Short video! Thank CUE !!
Wait, How do I make that training aid?
Thanks Michael for this lesson.
From the end of the "carry" portion, I have no idea how to swing and meet the ball with a square clubface. The hands seem so near the ball line from down the line.
Love the demonstration at the end where u hold the club upside down near the hosel. Did you hold it with the club head orientated that way on purpose so that you arrive to impact square ( the back of the blade as the face). What about forearm rotation and wrist movements that is spoken about?
Hope to learn and get some clarity.
Always appreciative of whatever you share.
I thought for a minute you had a rotator cuff surgery. 🤣 Great Video!
Solid info for solid contact.. can u talk about ur left knee in the back swing.. is my knee going straight out or does it matter? I feel like I turn better if it goes straight out.. not backwards.. in otherwords, Knee pointing at the ball or in front of it?
I tend to rush my downswing motion, as you described in the video. It probably goes back to my baseball days in which I used to pull a lot of balls foul down the left field line. The only way I was able to straighten out the ball was to tell myself to hit to centerfield, whcih gave me lag and lots of power, sometimes hitting long home runs. How do I translate that to my golf swing?
Had the feel you speak about throwing the chest for power vs the hands. Worked wonders for my tee shots but not off the ground. It was like I could just get into a delivery position then turn with my shoulder and chest to smash the ball.
There was none of my usual conscious hand action through the impact zone, so when I cant get contact, I have no idea how to fix.
It's frustrating when u find something that works so well in 1 area but not across the board.
Odds are you're working your hands straight out towards the ball. You can get away with it when the ball is teed up, but with other shots the hands have to work down and then they work out with rotation.
@@davebaker7503 thanks for the response. When u say the hands have to work down it struck a chord, as on video I see my hands at p6 being too high off the ground leading to the need to release my wrist angles early to reach the ball.
How do u get the hands lower and still retain wrist angles?
@@77bovi you don't retain wrist angles. It's been measured on GEARS that elite players are letting the angles go pretty much right away.
The trail elbow drops straight down as the lead wrist has some flex, then there is ulner deviation . But when you let the angles go,the club head is actually behind them. When they do that and you see a still photo of them from face on, it gives the illusion they are holding the angle. Got to the Athletic Motion Golf channel, they have videos on this and use 3D video of pros to show exactly what's going on.
In summary, after the back swing is finished and you've moved pressure into your front side, the hands drop as they flex and the wrists become unhinged. This all happens at the same time as your rotating.
This drill work with driver?
Introducing the Breed “Uniboob trainer”, is that a knee brace stuffed with pool noodles? BTW, first decent lesson in 20 years.
I shank the ball when I try this and I'm so frustrated that I want to lay my golf bag, and myself, on the train tracks near my home.
I've been shanking the ball way too much lately myself. I figured out that I had a closed club face at address leaving the hosel more vulnerable. Now I make sure my club face is not closed at address, even slightly open and I've been hitting the ball much straighter. That's my experience, but yours may vary.
What is missing from this video is, if you look at Tour pros on GEARS, 3d capture system, you will see the hands work straight down (leading with the trail elbow, they aren't pulling on the handle nor are they dropping their right shoulder) and the clubhead works behind and away from the target. Odds are you're taking the hands straight out to the ball.
Look at that hair, bet he takes a nap on that thing when he sits down.
