For me and most of my golfing life, I rarely sensed clubhead lag. Then I did. Yoda had me working on my rhythm, take the club to top, pause and slide the hips then complete the stroke. It was during this drill that 'wow' that was different, I could feel it. I must admit we had made one additional change and that was in my start up twisting the last 3 fingers of the left hand under.

Since then Feeling the lag has come and gone and now its back. When Vickie gave me some exercises to do, she made a point that they needed to be done slow and smooth motions.

Light bulb time. Yup I was taking the club back to fast which required me to tighten my grip to the point that I didn't feel the pressure point. I slowed the back stroke down and realized I didn't have apply a death grip to control the club at the top and there it was.

Recently I have tried experimenting with taking the right thumb and index finger off the shaft and swinging. Do you think you can still monitor/feel lag?

I still rely on one Yoda's tips regarding the grip, have the right thumb over the top, not on top, but over, this seems, at least for me to allow to feel PP#1, PP#3 easily.

If you need to get the feel of this, I would suggest try using a putter and just one hand. PP#1 is where the drive applied and PP#3 should feel the weight.

How many people monitor lag when putting?
