Excellent video Lynn and a very nice mop you’ve got here!

I'm a big fan of dragging the wet mop.

It’s definitely part of my toolkit to help people understand the correct Lag feel.

But because bringing the heavy big mop to the course is not very convenient :-) , as an alternative, the same feel and pressure in the index finger (PP#3) can be achieved by walking on the grass while dragging a clubhead against the turf. I often use this tip when I need to ingrain the feel before a shot.

@GolfLagTips I do this myself, GolfLag, walking & trailing the club behind me in my right hand only, dragging the club behind me. Then, I add an 'aha!' moment: I stop walking and comment that the club also stops. I turn east (assuming I was walking north) -- in other words, toward a 'target' line -- and then use my pivot motion and the rotation of its last component (the right shoulder) to continue the dragging of the right arm and club. Message: In golf, centered rotation creates drag/delay.

Thanks for this post and your other recent contributions Lynn, any chance of seeing Alignment Golf 2 soon?

[lynnblakegolf]

@aonachmor There definitely will be more video, aonachmor, but not necessarily in an Alignment Golf "2" format. We may put up a streaming video consisting of 18 individual segments, one of which is the one you see here. The video has been done, so it's just a matter of decision and organization. If I decide to 'go', then this work could be up almost immediately.

Solid stuff and great visuals and props. This info is a MUST for everyone. Watch it! Over and Over and Over again! Nice stuff Mr. Blake.

@RSGMotion At impact, professional golfers only have about 50% of their weight on their feet. E.g. if a golfer weighs 200 pounds, he has only 50 pounds on the front foot and 50 pounds on the back foot. So, in a sense, they are "PULLING" themselves off the ground by pulling the club forcefully downward. So, I think it is possible for a golfer to exert downward pull on the club up to the limits of the golfers body weight and his physical strength.

I wish Lynn had told me this when I started playing 3 years ago! Great stuff!
