Thanks for your comments and I can certainly appreciate your frustration at not improving after one year. I have produced some free videos on my golf channel which I hope that you will watch to give you some more insights into how to improve your lack of lag in your golf swing. I wish you the best of luck with your golf development and I think that it would be wise to research golf instructors in your region that have a solid reputation for improving your particular golf swing challenge.

I tend to cast the club at the top., I tend not to have lag. I tend to sweep the ball. I tend to hit the ball fat. I have been taking lessons about one year. I do not feel that the pros at Tilden Park give very good advice and drills for improvement.

for me the answer is definitely putting! but i don’t even know how to break it down into putting subsets? i am inconsistent from everywhere. perhaps start with relatively close putts and work my way out? any suggestions?

Thanks Alex for your feedback. Casting the club is a very natural reaction to hitting a golf ball that is on the ground and to the side of you.

After all, when the golf club is at the top it is completely logical to hit at the ball (which is in-front of you).

As a consequence we develop a pattern of movement that is perfect for hitting at the ball-but not swinging through the ball.

I know it is very difficult to change but it is possible to improve it so that you achieve a better and more consistent impact.

You’re are correct with your theory of a ‘bump’ to initiate the downswing sequence and to be as precise as possible push the hip directly onto the knee and ankle before you rotate your hips.

When I get a chance I’ll upload a video lesson on this important aspect of golf swing performance.

Watch my video lesson on my channel entitled ‘the balanced golf swing’ which delves more into how to swing in balance. Please ignore the aweful wind noise in it, but the content of the video lesson itself will help you to make that transitional move more easily.

Kind Regards,

Lawrie Montague

I finally understand the down swing, however, knowing and doing are not the same. I have always been a caster who had decent practice swings, but awful real swings that that have resulted in scores from 83 to 106. What I need is how to start the down swing. Watching Luke I can see a “bump” or slide of the hip before it rotates which puts the body behind the ball and tilted to a new bottom of the swing to the target side of the ball. I can understand the pull down (sometimes referred to ringing the bell) and pulling the grip end of the club towards the target. I just can’t do it. I don’t know if you add some thing like this to your remaining lessons?

Anyway I will continue to watch your web site. Living in Texas eliminates a trip to you, although I would love to go to Australia.

If I read your comments correctly you are not trusting the club you pick when you’re within 150 yards of the green.

The best way I know to choose your club with confidence is to perform a distance check how far you hit each club in the bag which takes the guess out of golf.

The students at our golf college all have to go through this procedure with each club with the distances recorded with a lazer so they know exactly how fay they hit their irons and woods.

This requires help from a friend but will definitely help you to choose your club confidently.

Most golfers are relying on a guess to hit thier shot from A to B and by simply hitting shots at a park (or similar) recording 10 shots with each club in your bag and having a friend place a tee in the ground where each ball lands and lazering back the distance you will know for certain the potential of each club.

I hope this advice helps you to be more confident with your approach shots.

Thanks for your comments and the best of luck with your game.

Kind Regards,

Lawrie Montague
