Don't get me wrong, no way Blackburn will de-lag him, I wasn't implying that, it's just that sometimes, when he really needs to hit a good long-iron, or hit one really high, he struggles a bit.
I still want to swing like him though, but I think a lot of his "look" of accumulator lag has a lot to do with his bent left wrist to start the downswing. Lots of downcocking going on there. He doesn't flatten it until really late in the swing.
For the record, IMO Boo has a top 5 golf swing on the PGA Tour right now and it is my goal to have more of the kind of lag he has.
Watch his hips . . . he doesn't know how to do it . . . this swing that we got on youtube is a short iron into the wind . . . BUT . . . if he his left leg to straighten & gets the hips going more forward it will go up.

He does nearly the same thing with the driver swing though
Watch that video and you can see he basically makes the same swing, snaps his left leg and his hips work really left. You also get a pretty good look at his finish swivel, or anit-swivel. It really shows how he cocks his left arm up and keeps his arms closer together
If you got his hips to go LESS left, he would lose some of that lag, he would have to. His impact interval would have to start sooner and that big lag look would be reduced....A LOT.
If I'm going to sit here and listen to this BS, I'm pulling up my armchair.
How would you get him to get it up in the air?
Here's Duval . . . ANOTHER shut faced turned grip angled hinger who when this sequence was taken was the BEST ON THE PLANET . . . and hit it to THE MOON. Look at Boo's left knee and how level his hips are compared to Double D.
Watch this action compared to Boo's . . . this stuff is in the book . . . Chapter 10 . . . knee action(level hips vs. slanted hips) . .. hip action . . . it's in there . . . promise.
So heres the deal . . . if you are going to have a shut face and a turned left hand . . . do you want to pivot like
A. Zach Johnson
B. Sergio Garcia
C. Boo Weekly
D. David Duval
But Duval has less LAG look and he starts letting go of those accumulators earlier. Boo is later, which is why he hits it lower.
I agree with the pivot, Duval has a great pivot, but the best strong-gripped, shut faced pivot of all time is......
John Daly....seriously, if his arm swing weren't so long we would be raving about how sexy his pivot is.
Maybe . . . but . .. I don't see that Daly has a shut face really. I'm looking at a sequence in a book back when he played that Whale driver and it hangs pretty toe down where a normal human would stop their swing. I'll search for pics . . .
Duval tilts and turns left hard to keep the face open . . . plus he had way more shaft lean than John D . . . another face opener.
