How does one learn to produce constantly increasing lag pressure from startdown through impact? I would love to know.
A big first step is to slow things down. Really get the feel of a true 'swinging' motion, letting gravity show you just how slow and smooth you need to be to begin to get the feel of lag pressure.
Start with chip, pitch, punch with your right thumb and forefinger off the club, then drill swings with your 160 club hitting it only 100 yards with a full motion.
Another great place to start is with the putter. Really focus on the swinging club and the pressure points keeping their smooth steady pressure and you'll start to hear a nice 'click' that you may have never heard before

The HANDS do nothing but hold on. (as a thought for you)
Hit divots as if the "ball" were at your front toe...see how forward you can get it...(as a drill for you)...(btw if you hit your irons low after this start with your head no more forward than center...and KEEP it back)
Another drill...
Learn to hit something with a towel in your hands (swing it like a club)......sustain the lag! (lol)
...
And all this is null if your clubface is rolled too open in the backswing....
...cause having Lag will do nothing for you but leave the face too open for even longer. (and it might make you shank)
Good luck.
Soon enough it'll be second nature. (with practice and good mechanics)
Thanks EdZ and Birdie! I'll start work on this tomorrow! Question, though, EdZ. Does the right thumb and forefinger drill work for hitting? I've seen this drill, but always thought of it as a swingers drill.

Yes, a hitter will really get a good feel for PP#1 using this drill.

I find it helps me feel a heavier club (lag) if I feel like my hands travel at the same speed through the ball as they do on the backstroke. Not necessarily slow but constant. No speeding up to hit the ball. This dovetails nicely with the thought of tracing the plane line too.
Okay, I have another question. How can I tell if I have cocked my right wrist at the top of my backstroke?
Just as a_c posted above.
The folding right forearm on the Take Away will cock the Left wrist. The Right wrist remains Level and Bent.
It may feel as if the Left wrist is "undercocked" but it isn't. Your Flying Wedge assembly is complete. From the top of the Back Swing drive the whole club (shaft and clubhead) through the ball to low point. You will notice that the sweetspot of pp3 and driving action of pp1 line up behind the shaft- a true weapon of mass destruction. Enjoy your divots.
