No matter what your level of play, the further back you go in your swing the higher the likelihood is that you are developing some form of power storage. Actually you have to, because the further back you go the longer the arc back to the ball will be and that in itself is going to give you some oomph. You will notice at some point in time that you’re left wrist will cock, which takes the PING G15 Driver head further from the ground. You are still dragging the head.
Some players cock their wrist really early in a swing, others really late and most somewhere in between. We call these stages Sweep (early as in Fig 7), Random (mid as in Fig 8) and Snap (late as in Fig 9) just to give them reference names. This is loading a power source which is technically known as Power Accumulator No2. (No. 1 is the power that comes from the bent right arm). The more acute the angle produced, potentially the more lag that can be generated in the down stroke. Each player will have a maximum amount of wrist cock that can be achieved as we are all built differently.
We have now loaded the bomb with a bent right arm and a left wrist cock to whatever level we have programmed for the shot in hand. The power is loaded and stored. That stored energy has to be delivered now to the ball without leakage. Even with a chip we must make contact with PING G15 Driver head lag if we wish to play good solid golf shot.
Lag comes into play when the backswing changes direction into the downswing and from this point on the PING G15 Driver head will lag the hands, that is, follow the hands back down plane.
Now when you cock your left wrist it is totally, highly, recommended that the Imperative of the Flat Left Wrist is maintained, in other words, get this right and life gets sweet. Get it wrong and all sorts of body parts need to be co-ordinate on the way back to the ball.
So now we have the left wrist cocked and backswing well in motion,
going up the plane loading the bomb. Our Pivot has followed, allowing our hands to arrive at our chosen destination at the top and the bomb is loaded. Have a think about your body’s pivot for a moment. The hands travel further than the shoulders (shoulders lagged) and the shoulders move further than the hips (hips lagged). Your body coil is now set to unwind and unleash the bomb.
Stay tuned for part two where we learn to control the aiming and release of the bomb so that the lag can be used to its devastating best.
