I filmed a lesson with Monte Scheinblum for my YouTube golf show and had some great results doing something totally counterintuitive. Check it out I think it can really help a lot of people. [video]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LFYDiBHAbhc[/video]

Watch it, it's worth it, however the summary is to sustain the lag you need to feel like all you're trying to do is dump the lag as much as possible.

Sounds like an annoying kung-fu teacher but it's really true, esp. if you're stuck like I was and most good players are IMO

That's like 25 minutes.. How about a summary? ;)

A good instructor will be able to communicate their intent to achieve their desired result .

Usually this is accomplished by asking the student to do specific drills or feel like they are doing something. The drills and feels may seem counter-intuitive and just weird because the student is feeling one thing but actually doing something entirely different, which is why it works.

Or the summary of the summary, feel isn't real. Monte does his summary at about 23:25 where he talks about intent and result . I really enjoyed the video thanks @bdevore76 for posting.

And getting the arms synced with the pivot (backswing and downswing) was a big part of it as well.

Getting stuck, it's a problem I had for a while, mostly blocked shots for me, the fix was keeping my right elbow in line with my trail shirt seem, never letting the seam get ahead of the elbow, arms and body stay in sync.

Well, IMO, I'd word that as… "the summary is to sustain the lag you may need to feel like all you're trying to do is dump the lag as much as possible."

What works for you may not work for someone else. I have good success getting people to line the shaft up later in the swing with a variety of feels. It varies by the student. I think you could easily find golfers that would flip even more when you tell them to.

I do agree, and virtually always have, that for any speed at a reasonable speed or higher, simply and literally "holding" the lag is about the worst thing you can do, but I don't agree that everyone or even necessarily a majority will feel that intentionally throwing out the lag is the solution.


I'm glad that it worked for you, though, and I know some others for whom it has worked as well.

Interesting, in the referenced video No Turn Cast Swing Drill Monte says something like - The number one above all others important thing in the golf swing is the arms need to be linked up with the turn.

Do you have any thoughts on that statement? To me it makes sense. As instructors is that in general a big part of the initial priority piece in students that you see or is there no real number one thing?

It certainly is important. Even with a guy like John Daly. who swings well past parallel, his pivot is still in sync with his arms. When his pivot reaches the end of the backswing, the arm swing also stops. A lot of amateurs that over-swing don't actually turn their torsos very much.

I find that the just hinging feeling helps me shorten my backswing and when my shoulders stop turning my arms stop with them.

Monte has a ton of videos.  The No Turn/Cast video is one of them, but there are many more....and as he says they all address only 3 or 4 different parts of the swing, it just that some people will find one feel will suit them while another video might fit somebody else.

There is also a three part interview with this guy and Monte that goes through a lot of this stuff.

It is great for someone like me who have overdone the lag holding, have a lower body that outraces the arms, and has a tendency to get my arms stuck behind me in the downswing.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
