Golf Swing & Shoulders

Feeling the Lag in the Backswing

Many weekend players struggle to create lag during their backswing and maintain it into the impact zone of the downswing. In the book "How to Feel a Real Golf Swing," Bob Toski writes, "Feeling the club is the key to feeling your swing." Toski is talking primarily about lag. Creating and maintaining lag is a fairly natural action. The problem is that most players don't understand why lag happens or what they should feel.
