Hey there,

Let’s talk about one of the most misunderstood parts of the swing:

Lag.

If you’re like most golfers, you’ve been told to hold the angle in your wrists for as long as possible.

But trying to “hold lag” actually ruins your swing.

Here are the Top 3 Lag Mistakes I see all the time:

Mistake #1: Forcing the angle

If you’re trying to create lag by holding the club back, you’re probably just tightening up.

That kills your sequence and leads to weak contact.

Mistake #2: Forcing power with the hands

Instead of letting the body lead, you throw the club from the top — trying to “hit hard.”

That early effort dumps all the lag behind the ball (instead of into it) and leads to the dreaded flip at impact.

Mistake #3: Ignoring wrist awareness

Most golfers don’t know what their wrists are doing mid-swing, so they repeat the same flaws without knowing it.

After all, you can’t fix what you can’t feel.

That’s why so many golfers love this wrist trainer.

It gives you instant feedback on your wrists to help you dial in the proper feel instead of trying to think through “holding lag.”

So instead of guessing, you start feeling the right motion and lock it in naturally.
