Let's Talk Lag's Golf Machine

Lot of provoking thoughts in this video about a lot of principles we use here at ABS

Funny enough I logged in tonight to post this video here but found someone best me to it. Best video I've seen that clearly explains the importance of shallowing the club and what it'll do for you.

Just saw that Chris is Tiger's new swing coach and it made me think back to this post. Hopefully we start seeing some more classic elements of the golf swing back out on tour.

Question from a recent email:

Lag, what are the most critical things we need to worry about to strike the ball better?

Working the shaft on plane from P3 to P4.
Limiting counter clockwise clubface rotation post impact.
Holding shaft flex.
Stabilizing lowpoint.

Really the key fundamentals of a proper hitting technique through the strike.
Anything we work on should be aimed at improving one of these areas directly.

An ABS Forum member emailed me a link to Mike's book and specifically to these pages.

Mike Maves and I had talked a while back while he was putting together his SITD Book, or revisions. I've always respected the way Mike eloquently describes a proper golf swing.
It reminded me that we should never lose site of the importance of preserving lag pressure through the strike with an active
participation of all we have to give the ball.... pivot, forearm rotation, hand action, post impact pivot thrust, 5th accumulator.

A great look at Greg Norman's wonderful footwork.
Viewed by many as a bad thing… maybe by Greg as well at some point? I remember someone he was working with trying to to get rid of it.
