If you’ve been around the golf course for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard the term “lag.” Creating lag. Lag one up there. Lag this, lag that but what does any of that actually mean? By definition, lag is the angle between your lead arm and the club shaft as it travels from the top of your back swing down to impact. For practicality sake, lag is simply the distance that the club head remains behind the hands as you attack the ball.
The smaller you keep the angle between your lead arm and the club shaft, the further ahead your hands will be as you strike the ball. Combined with a proper club path and face angle, the feeling and benefits of lag are achieved. Sadly, many amateur golfers have little to now lag in their swing and therefore miss out on the consistency, accuracy, and distance that can be produced with proper lag.
There are many training aides and techniques to help golfers learn and improve the lag in their shots but over the past few years, Lag Shot has become one of the most popular tools for the job. Lag Shot’s groundbreaking swing training club is a 7-iron with a “whippy” flexible shaft that all but forces you to keep your hands ahead of the ball. This aides in “loading” the club to produce consistent lag.
Lag Shot practically forces you to “load the club” perfectly, generate tremendous lag automatically, and make confident swings with ideal tempo and rhythm.
Lag Shot
The popularity of the Lag Shot as an amateur and professional training aide led the company to produce a Driver and a Wedge to go along with its popular 7-iron. That expanded into a junior set but until recently, there were no Lag Shot clubs designed specifically for ladies. This week, that all changed as Lag Shot officially announced the full line of Lag Shot clubs for ladies. This, like the original Lag Shot, includes three club options – the 7-iron, a Driver, and a Wedge. You can also buy the “triple threat” which includes all three clubs and you’ll save an impressive 23%. $299 for three training clubs is a pretty solid value.
