TOTALLY SCREWED UP MY GOLF GAME. This may not be Ben's fault. I don't think you can learn golf via a video . . . or at least not this video. There are some definite nuggets . . . BUT very problematic due to the rapidly closing face which is largely due to the head hanging back also resulting in the left wrist becoming the center of the stroke . .. also the navel seeking right elbow doesn't work so good either because you don't release #4 and come in way to shallow and from the inside.

A fine pattern if you have mutant level hand eye coordination or like to hit it really low and don't care where the ball goes.
very good post

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
