Why You're Stuck

Do you ever wonder how pros swing so effortlessly and hit it so far? It can almost feel like a magic trick. Don't you feel like you are swinging out of your shoes and the ball isn't going anywhere? The answer is NOT swinging harder.

 

The trick to it has to do with that notorious "Lag" angle in the downswing. The key is sequencing the downswing correctly, shallowing the club, and not throwing away this angle too early in the downswing like most amateurs. Create speed at the RIGHT time!

 

As always, this is easier said than done. Especially for those of us who started playing golf as an adult. Considering most of us are right-hand dominant the natural instinct is to HIT the ball with your dominant side, because that's what your body knows how to do. This training aid will radically change how you feel your swing to make this happen in a very short period of time!

 

Imagine swinging a heavy sledgehammer... as you transition, the hammer would easily create "lag" and shallow due to the weight. To cast it, you would need to push really hard with your right arm!

The golf swing is the exact same concept, the only difference is that a golf club is relatively light. This is why kids that learn young, learn these beautiful free flowing swings, with tons of natural lag. They didn't learn by doing all these funky lag drills... they learned because that's how the club wants to move and they didn't have the developed muscles to stop it!

Amateurs cast and come over the top because they are swinging all upper body and more specifically, all right side and unlike the sledgehammer example, the golf club is easy to manipulate. The picture on the right of the screen is visualizing how your right hand is in a position to easily through that angle away.

Your game is stuck where it's at because you are fighting your instincts. It will continue to be stuck until you FORCE your body to learn how to use the left side in the golf swing. The Missing Piece is the easiest way to learn this and it is going to expedite this whole process by using good ole' fashion classical conditioning to rewire your brain.
