The Truth About Lag

Everything is a remix.

 

I asked this in the JH thread...This makes sense about not holding lag because it will cause shots to the right (something I do all the time), but what prevents the player from not releasing too early????

Different feels work for different people. For people who are holding on to the angle too long, then they want to feel like they are not holding lag. For people who are casting, just like they are delaying the release. Imagine telling a caster to release as soon as possible lol. That's what's dangerous about youtube, although the instructors now are more careful to preface instruction with what they are trying to fix. So it's important to find videos that fit your problems. But if you do Monte's No turn cast drill it's basically from that point when you should try to release the angle. that's a huge source of power and speed into the ball.

Just a quick comment in case anybody reads this.

 

I've never been a great ball striker or sand player.

 

I got sick and tired of opening the face on sand shots.  I decided that I would swing the same way out of bunkers as my normal swing (also with a square face) ... but release as early as possible.  My intent was to ensure the bounce was the first thing to hit the sand.  
 

My sand play got monumentally better immediately.   I could even use this method with low lofted irons out of fairway bunkers and it worked just as good.  The thing is though ... i would purposely try to stall while doing this to get the scoop feel.

 

 

 

I've never thought to try release this way on a normal shot from a tee or fairway.  Monte's quote about ' staying behind the ball as long as possible and releasing quickly' and the Duvall videos are so intriguing to me.

 

Stan Utley has a video where on bunkers he releases early but wants the club head to not extend much ...ie to miss a rope 1 foot in front of the ball.  
 

Clearly this isn't what Monte and Duvall are saying right and only adheres to bunkers?

Duvall doesn't like to feel the hands crossing over / roll.
