Create Lag In Golf Swing

One of the keys to more power and distance is wrist lag. But, to create lag in your golf swing, your wrists must be both stronger and more flexible. Lag is impossible with wrists that are weak and tight. As golfers get older, the wrists get stiffer, and much weaker.

Wrist exercises that promote newfound strength and flexibility will enable you to create maximum lag late in your downswing to enhance clubhead speed and ultimately your distance.

Take a look at Sergio Garcia below. His wrist lag is nearly unmatched on tour. It’s amazing to see him when his hands are even to the ball, and yet his wrist cock is still almost full.

One thing to keep in mind is the amount of practice these pros put in to get their timing correct when it comes to such a “late hit” approach.
