Golf Swing Lag In Wrists For More Power

By: Mike Schlacter

For maximum power and distance golf swing lag in your wrists is critical. This lag is the angle in your wrist joint. This angle is the angle of your lower arm (forearm) and the club via the angle in your wrist joint. Having a 90 degree wrist cock is a huge advantage when it comes to hitting long drives.

Wrist Lag For Longer Drives

Look at all the long hitters. Wrist lag is the common denominator. They all delay their lag in their wrists to the LAST moment at and through impact. They do NOT release it before impact! This is one of the biggest mistakes amateur golfers make in hopes for longer drives. They release the angle in the wrist too early in the downswing, losing all their clubhead speed, power and distance.

Look at the pictures of Sergio Garcia. He has amazing lag very late into his golf swing. There are pictures of him with his hands near impact (even with the ball) and he still has a 90 plus degree wrist cock. That's pure POWER!

Wrist Exercises For Maximum Power

Doing golf wrist exercises is one very effective way to improve wrist lag and power.

Using dumbbells, barbells, weighted golf clubs and even a wooden dowel with a rope and weights are excellent choices for strengthening your wrists for better lag, wrist cock and release of clubhead through impact.

So the bottom line is golf swing lag creates maximum power and distance.
