Load and sustain the "Lag", the secret of golf.

My swing looks steep going back, crosses the line, then steep coming down. Sort of a mess, but i am a +1 handicap. I draw my irons and fade my woods. I had one TGM guy tell me looks like I open the face early and try to sling it shut on the downswing. This is sort of how it feels, but don't know where to begin working on tightening up my swing. Anyone care to throw out some advice/drills?



I would load some "Lag"/resistance/heaviness, specifically the clubhead, on the top to tighten up the backswing and, at least, give the start-down a stabler start. I bet, in your current swing, the club feels pretty light on the top and coming down, which can make the swing vulnerable to pressure situation or physical condition.

How? Gently initiate the downswing in the middle of the backswing, during which you will feel the resistance (or inertia) of the club and try to sustain that heaviness feel (instead of throwing it away) through impact.

Good luck!

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
