- This is the last lag drill in this mini series "The Secret To Getting Lag In Your Golf Swing." If you haven't watched the first lag tip then please watch it here:
• THE REAL SECRET TO GET...
If you made it to this tip that's great that you now have lag but what are you going to do with it? That's what this tip is all about and this is the secret to getting distance and hitting your irons with that pure, compressed sound.
Free samples from my Body Swing book and video series here: bodyswing.com/freesamples/
Make sure you do the first 2 drills before attempting this lag drill. You can and should be doing those drills nightly until your wrists start to loosen up. This takes practice but the payoff is worth it.
Again, I would be doing this one with a mid-iron. You will be hitting shots but they will just be short easy ones so don't pay attention to the ball. Focus on the drill then once you master it start to do fuller swings.

10am ] once i learned this hinge/ release, element of The Swing from you, the ball is now screaming off the face usually straight now..Thank you so much you are the "golden fleece" of instructors.
That's great. This is the power of the hinge. Needs to be loose. Great feeling when you get power. Keep at it.
Thank you Paul. You really solved my puzzles of the lag. ✌️
Yes, big key to getting power. Need to loosen the wrists to get it.
So so good I'm really liking this tip
Glad you like it!
Thank you, Paul for the Lag Drill Nr.1,2,3. My club head speed rises and rises. Wonderful!
Very welcome
This lag series of yours makes a lot of sense. I will give it a month to start with. Feeling optmistic.
Very good. Thanks so much.
Excellent explanation. Thanks.
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Can’t wait to try these lag tips. I’m sure it will help my game.
Hope so!
Probably the best explanation I’ve ever seen for getting lag. Great series. Thanks.
Glad you liked it. Thanks. I put it out there but really you can get perfect lag in 2 mins. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/syZXIyJNH-Y/v-deo.html
excellent tips, have to look you up next time in Las Vegas .
Thanks. Please look me up.
I bought your e-book a year ago and I believe it has helped me. I have noticed when doing this drill, it seems to also engage my legs to power the swing more. A nice side benefit.
Thanks for picking up the ebook. I appreciate the support. Glad you are feeling the legs and hips. This is the key to power.
Hi Paul, golf life changing tips. I also got lag, thanks
Glad I could help. Keep up the good work.
Paul, these tips on Lag parts 1, 2 & 3 are simple and clear yet powerful. As a learner I appreciate this very much. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it
Glad it was helpful!
Great drill
Thank you.
This the only guy i ever seen that tells you how to improve....Im so glad he doing these videos this helped me so much My friends not like me too much i taking there money now hahahahaha
Thanks. You need to understand it. If you don't get it why would you do it.
Great lag drills from 1-3.
.set lag angle at the top
. release lag angle
.soft wrists BUT firm grips through out the swing
Such a great golf easy to understand tutorial lessons
Yes, this is a good one. This one works even faster but the problem is people don't stick with it. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/syZXIyJNH-Y/v-deo.html
PW! Hope all is well. Spent a few hours yesterday doing this drill and it is a game changer. Behind the neck, extend, swing and rotate body was great. I’ve even gone back and found my old persimmon 5Wood and she’s back in the bag now, could never hit the old way. Takes a lot of patience but after a ton of reps it feels very natural. Will be working on it more today. Thank you Sir
Very good. Glad you are figuring it out. Keep at it.
Definitely needs lots of practice, like you said. Start slow, build up. Hardest parts are learning/remembering to keep wrists loose throughout the whole swing. My tendency is to tighten up ever so slightly thinking about lag, and then not finishing. Especially with driver = wipe. Great sequence of tips!
Thanks. Glad you liked them. Definitely takes work. Repeat repeat repeat.
Thank Thank Thank you this help me instantly.
Very good. Watch these too:

I watched these everytime before i just do drills my game on fire my wrist was so tight i wasnt releasing the club Now i am they so sore im not stopping i working through the pain THIS WORKS
Great thanks.
Such great content!....just wonderly explained......gonna work on this......but first work is that "ear to ear " drill....because it seems to me that loose wrists are mandatory in the Body swing theory.....
Glad you like it. Yes, keep doing the ear to ear until you master it. This is the key to huge power. 30 days in practice swings as much as you can.
1:50 - Great drill. I release and pause the 2 arms extended for a moment past impact, then re-hinge. Do that a few times, then do it without the pause. All slow at first and build up the speed. What really stood out to me was how the hips led the entire sequence, even when you did it slowly, just excellent!! At the point where your 2 arms are extended, your hips are already well past the ball.
Very good. You actually listened to what I was saying. I like how you are doing it slowly. Getting used to those positions. Now you know why I didn't like that one video of yours when you were holding that lag angle. Go to release the angle. Give it a month or so doing my stuff you will be flying it 250 like it's nothing.
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks Paul!
Trying this at the range today 👍👍👍
Keep in mind it takes practice. Keep doing it and over time you will master it.
Great tip I hope to see the result soon thanks
Very good.
You are absolutely right I had great round after long time in doldrums for a while played 6 under my handicap thanks
Great feeling. Keep at it.
This guy knows what he's talking about!
I think so also!! You just have to see some of these things a little differently to fully understand. Thanks for watching!!
using this method..approx 200-250 swings and/or practice balls 3-5 days each week on the range or while watching TV..have added 3 mph to clubhead speed..might not think this is awesome but is 1/2 club to full club more off the driver and ..then add 1/2 club less for the club into the green and you have a major scoring difference in the game. Difference for me between 7 hybrid to a 8 or 9 iron...shot my age (70) for the first time since turning in April. 99% eliminates casting and puts a "pop" into all the shots... the yardages are amazingly consistant with great improvement with tight dispersion patterns. Do the work!
Sounds like you are heading in the right direction which is a great sign. Keep at it.
Omg....I went out to my backyard in flip flops and hit 20 foam balls hit all 20 with such ease!!!! I was flabbergasted on the speed of that club head when I freed up my wrist. Had that little cup on the left wrist which really helped me relax the wrist. I always played flat or even a bit bowed cuz I was told the cupped wrist led to slicing... I am 58 and not as limber anymore but I smashed those balls with ease....did not even warm up...in flipflops mind you....thank you thank you thank you for freeing my swing!!!!! Cant wait to hit real balls on range.
Glad you tried it and saw the results. Loose wrists is a big part of getting lag so definitely keep them loose. Looser = faster. Not sure if I sent you this: ua-cam.com/video/uRWI8Mhnsa8/v-deo.html
@@paulwilsongolf ty...I had seen that video already... appreciate what ya do to help all us amateurs play better. It's a strange feeling to let go, almost feels out of control but now I have another problem......having to now learn club distances cuz I know that ball is gonna travel further!!!! What a problem to have! Lol
You just exactly described what I typically do. Never realized it until you just pointed it out. What typically happens is I hit the shot fat, I hit it straight but not far and there is no compression. My hands are stinging lol.
Glad you are understanding it. Watch these too:

Hey, great video. Are you actively holding on to the lag down to hip height. As in forearm muscles active in extension until you release? I can't seem to get lag to happen on its own, tired with sequence, loose wrists up top etc. I Always get a rebound and leads to casting.
When you are working on it yes, you would be holding it. You are hitting it is that simple. You need to be way looser. Why does and 8 year old who has never worked on lag have perfect lag? They have minimal arm strength. As much as you think you may be loose you still hitting with your arms. Do this: ua-cam.com/video/syZXIyJNH-Y/v-deo.html video it and I guarantee you will have lag.
Freddie Couples swing has similar lag,also has that smooth syrupy swing 👌
Absolutely! Every tour player would have a great lag angle, this is why they are tour pros. If you watch Couples, his hips move incredibly fast.
Cool looking golf course behind you!
It is!
@@paulwilsongolf I played today using your grip which I was previously using strong grip
Hit irons good and could tell I was more consistent. My driver suffered
I didn't go back to strong but wanted to. I have information overload.. Lol I think I am taking driver back like toe up. Should head be like facing ground taking it back?
If you do the neutral grip driver may take a little practice. It's longer and you want too hit the ball hard. The new grip is more open than if you had it closed with a strong grip so you need to unlock your wrists. Get it hooking. Then add body back in. Just do this with driver rolling it early; ua-cam.com/video/OFJOLBSXSfQ/v-deo.html that will loosen you up.
Great drill series ! Casting is a problem for me. I just started added this to the wrist hinge drills and have seen some success with the wrist hinge. I'm finding that when I keep the arms in the correct lag angle til hip height, I tend to chunk the club right into the ground. Any suggestions on how to correct this ?
Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/UwynwFBldv4/v-deo.html
This takes tremendous amount of practice and perhaps the most difficult part in golf swing. Thank you very much for your tip!!!
Happy to help!
It sure does yet I never have to teach it to little kids. Hmmm ... what is the difference between kids and adults? Oh, arm strength.
Pretty sure I've been doing the last point and letting the club feel really lightly gripped in my hands which does give an impression of looseness at the top. I do believe the grip was way to loose and the club was actually moving in my hands and I got some chaffing (and eventually blisters) at the base of my bottom hand index finger (inside near to the thumb) and also on the inside of the thumb pad too. Think I need to start with gripping the club tighter.
Glad you figured this out. In no way am I letting go. It's my wrists that are loose. ua-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/v-deo.html Watch that tip and start working on it right away. This is vital.

Great series Paul...
I understand the lag parts 1, 2, 3.
However, how do I incorporate that with using the body - that is, "moving the belt buckle" - Ernie Else.
Is it just timing, or is there another secret sauce?
Thank you.
Well this is just working on lag (arm unit). As you do you would attach this to your body which is coiling and uncoiling. Work on everything and you will get nothing. Get the pieces then put them together.
Great video! Thank you. Question: Many of your videos talk about shutting off your arms, but this video seems to say to actively move the arms into a certain position (prior to unhinging). Should I think of this as an exception and still shut the arms off otherwise?
Glad you liked it. There are times if you are working on a position you need to work on the position. Get it. Then turn the arms off. I would be pretty hard for the wrists to set all on their own. It can be done but few are anywhere near as loose as I want in the arms and wrists in the downswing.
@@paulwilsongolf makes sense. Thank you!
You recommend a full hinge down to the right hip right leg area without pulling or holding does the weight transfer and the rotation of the hips automatically drop the hinge to that area or should you consciously drop the hinge to that area kindly advise thanks for your help Jack
You are allowing simple physics to shallow or flatten the club. Watch:

As for lag that was a series on how I got it. If you want it super fast then just do this:
ua-cam.com/video/syZXIyJNH-Y/v-deo.html
Paul, I love your tips and trying the lag drills at the range but my timing is off and I'm pulling left and pull hooking the ball on a majority of the shots. any suggestions?
If you are pull hooking your shots you have a strong grip and you are pulling the club down with your arms. This is tilting your whole body forward in the downswing.
Fix your grip first here: ua-cam.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/v-deo.html

Hi Paul, does this also work when you're trying to fade or draw the ball?
For sure! This is one of the best drills that you can be doing for your golf swing. Do this drill for about a week or 2 and you will see a crazy improvements.
Just tried this tonight, always had a slow swing speed with a short Back swing. Boy am I hitting it now , kept it long, hitting the back of my neck, has stopped me wrapping the club round my body even with the arm bending have gained 10 mph and I’m sure there’s more in the tank😀😀
Very good. You are getting there. Great feeling.
You make it look easy, and it is once you get the hang of it.
Thanks for Watching!!
Just start doing practice swings. Over and over. I have a few more lag tips that may help too. Stay tuned.
Thanks for all your tips. One question I have, do you straiten your trail leg on you backswing?
I don't. I have tried it. Seems that by the time I hit the top it unlocks again so I have left that one alone. It does what it does for me. I would say you can straighten a little but don't lock it.
Ok, thank you for the reply. I really appreciate all your help.
Good tip I'm such a dope
Glad I could help
Great video as usuel Paul,
I have arthrosis in my left wrist ; I can't do the radial deviation.
Would you recommand a special way to take the grip? (the point where it is problematic for me is when my hands are down near the right hip and shaft up.)
Is this drill good to get out of a bunker ?
Thanks.
Well anyone with a physical I issue I get them to do the best they can do. Know what I am looking for then adapt your swing to the best of your ability. I would try releasing it from the top and see what happens. This would be what Mike Austin taught (not that he actually did that). So hit the top and start releasing it. It's only 1/4 second to impact so the face may be a little closed when you hit the ball so just aim right. Again, you need to find something that is going to work for you.
As for bunkers here is my tip on that:
ua-cam.com/video/MK9MyN3mdt8/v-deo.html
I wouldn't be thinking about lag in the bunker. Just follow my tip below and you will pop them out perfectly in minutes.
Thank you I'll try That
Hi Paul, Great as usual. I am struggling to move from the tee to the ground with this drill. The way I was doing it was I went impact bag, tee, ground. I got it with the PW, then my 8 iron but when I got to the 6 I could hit it dead straight 160 off the tee but hit it thin or topped it off the ground. Any suggestions?
Thanks. Not exactly sure what you are saying. Tee to ground? Never hit an impact bag at impact. Do this and you are hitting. I am not hitting anything. Thin and topping is you hitting. So stop hitting.
@@paulwilsongolf Sorry for the lack of clarity. Teeing the ball up gives room for error. I'm struggling to move from hitting it off the tee to hitting it off the ground. I think it's just me not releasing soon enough. Amnd yes definitely trying to hit it lol. I answered my own question.
Just lower the tee gradually. 1/2" 1/4" then ground. You can do it!
Good day sir. A friend wanted to know what grips you are using on your irons. The white really pops and he's (actually me) getting ready to get his set regripped....thank you in advance kind sir.
They are Tour Wrap R60. Great grips. Last a long time which is great because I hate regripping my clubs. Cheap too vs. others.
This should get 100k+ likes!
Years ago, I focused on keeping lag. Result was awful shots due to tension. RELEASING club is the 2nd part, equally important, never mentioned by lag tutorials. Thank you for reminding us!
Any advice on why my right hand is not connected throughout the swing (right handed golfer)?
I don't just make this stuff up. You are proof people struggle with this. Glad you see it and will be loosening up. Typically if the right hand is coming off the club your wrists are too tight. Watch this tip it's for left hand but my help the right too: ua-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/v-deo.html Where are you letting go? back, down or through swing or all?
@@paulwilsongolf Thanks for the reply! I'm letting go with lower hand at the top of the backswing.
Hi Paul,
When I am practising in practice area it is great but when I start playing a round there are some problems not striking with same power may I know why
Cause you are trying to hit with the arms when you play. Play hitting it 50% for every shot and see how you do. Get used to not hitting then speed up the lower body in the future. You cannot keep doing what you normally do. If so, when do you ever change anything. Get it slow. This way you are actually making the switch and doing it.
Im finding if I'm thinking that the impact point is 2 feet Infront of the ball helps me alot (along with keeping wrists loose of course)
Perfect. People are starting to hear what I am saying. You are not hitting anything. The ball will be hit if you do the moves.
Any tips for how to get a good release while maintaining good shaft lean at impact?
For sure...go back through some of my tips and you will plenty on how to release the golf club. Here is a great one though: ua-cam.com/video/MTLQWJLRAU0/v-deo.html
@@paulwilsongolf yeah I remember that one, that was a good one! Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, could you give a description of your driver please ?

Ok I have to admit I’m a bit confused. First off I’m a huge believer and practitioner of swinging with my body vs arms and hands. However, after trying these 3 drills on a simulator to measure my club head speed I found that trying to establish lag creates “artificial lag” and actually slows me down. If you keep your arms and hands loose, lag happens naturally. In other words, swinging as you instruct creates lag on its own. Casting happens when you apply hand or arm force. So, why practice to create an artificial lag?
Second question...when I swing with a ball, I hit it straight with a top end club head speed. When I take the ball away, I can get a higher club head speed, but my club head is wide open (as indicated by the simulator). Why is this and how can I get the higher speed but with a square face?
1. If you are able to loosen up and create lag you are 1 in a million because most don't so they have to work on lag. So stop working on lag and start firing your body to power the swing.
2. You loose power with a ball because you hit the ball (mass). This slows the clubhead down. No ball = faster speed. Your hips are moving so fast though the face is open. So roll the face closed on purpose a bunch of time then fire the lower. Once you do you will see they will be timed better.
@@paulwilsongolf Thank you sir! I probably wasn't so loose before I started practicing your technique. I had lost distance as I'm getting a bit older, but I got it all back with this (and it feels easier). I will try your suggestion and hope to get a live lesson with you next time I'm in Vegas. Love Bear's Best GC.
I could see ball going like egg in shape but I lost that feeling in next day. I'm still experimenting myself to get that feel.
This is because you thought you were invincible and started hitting with your arms again. Need to be way looser. So go down to 50% and loosen up. Then to get more power you do so by driving the legs harder never hitting harder. This is what all off my tips are about so I suggest going through some of them and get it back. The wrists are a hinge. A hinge is loose. They hinge they rehinge. There is no power in a hinge. This arm unit is connected to your body which is coiling and uncoiling. That's it. Here are all of my tips:
www.youtube.com/@paulwilsongolf/videos
But what if you're problem is casting or releasing the wrists too early? How do I hang on to that wrist angle a little longer?
Casting - you are hitting with your arms moving the mass before the axis. Follow all of the tips in this series and do the work:

@@paulwilsongolf Will do. Thanks so much!
How do you release the club before the ball and still compress it?
Who is releasing the club before the ball? This is a drill to get your wrists to release. Once you fire your lower body this point would move ahead of the ball. Too many people never release this lag angle at all. So you need to do the drill to learn the release then add it to your swing.

@@paulwilsongolf Thank you for replying back! I’ve been playing golf since 3rd or 4th grade. Was a caddie at Whistling Straits for 10yrs. I pretty much shoot 82 or 83 every time I play. I know that if I could just figure out how to flush the ball consistently I could break 80 more often than not. It’s so frustrating. I’ll take your advice to the range this week.
This is really the easiest way to get lag
Well, that is how I did it. There is an easier way though. Watch:
ua-cam.com/video/syZXIyJNH-Y/v-deo.html
I can get anyone perfect lag in 2 mins. I show them this and how they have lag and what do they do? They stop doing it and complain they have no lag.
