Hello All,

I have been playing for about 7 months now and loving this sport.
But I was just a hacker...

Now I am working on a smooth swing and follow through... before I was just a hitter.

This is my swing right now, as best as I can describe it.
I swing on one plane.
When taking the club back, I take it with a once piece take away, SMOOTH no jerking, with my shoulders and turning.
I feel the club going up and my hands cocking automic and then feel the club stop at it's peak and wait for the weight of the club to start to fall (is this what they call lag) and once it starts to fall I just turn through and my hands swing automic to hit the ball and nice follow through.

My question is?
Am I doing this right... waiting for the club to get to its highest point while still turn and then wait for the club to return back down then turn through to impact the ball and follow through. (the follow through just happens because of the turn of the hips)

Before I was forcing the club down before it got to its peak point and get really jerky, now it is a lot smoother with letting the club peak and return back down on its on, so it stays on the same plane....

Any comments on this idea...

Sounds like some decent thoughts. There is no one way to hit the golf ball so if it feels good to you keep it up.

I'm with you on this right now. Feels are kind of subjective but what you are describing isn't bad though. This isn't really what lag is, but it is part of what can create lag so I think you are on the right track.

My question is? Am I doing this right... waiting for the club to get to its highest point while still turn and then wait for the club to return back down then turn through to impact the ball and follow through. (the follow through just happens because of the turn of the hips)

Yes. Highest point is different than the way I would describe it. I would say you swing until your muscle tension says stop. From there, you allow gravity to start the down swing and then once your hands are tangent to the arc - science speak for at your pockets - then you start to accelerate. You are on the right track though. Keep it up.
