We have heard about this product on more than one occasion and from more than one person. We have had tremendous results with the SKLZ Gold Flex and were wondering if this Lag Shot worked the same way and would produce the same results. We were fortunate enough that when we referenced the Lag Shot last week in our previous youtube video, one of our students was watching and brought the Lag Shot in so we could try it.

Let me just say right here that we really like the whippy clubs. We really like the SKLZ Gold Flex, Orange Whip, and the knockoffs. We see people do better with their kinematic sequence, tempo on their backswing and downswing, and and the improvement of their overall swing mechanics with the use of those products. The cool thing about this product is that you can actually hit shots with it which you can’t do with the other products.

On the website for this product, in big bold letters, it states “What can just 12 swings with this “blue shafted beauty” do for you?” So we decided to put it to the test. We had Lauren hit 12 golf shots with her 7 iron and paid attention to mostly her club path and club face in the data. Then we had her hit the Lag Shot club for 12 shots. Then she picked up her 7 iron again for 12 shots. Then we compared her data from the first 12 shots with her 7 iron and the second 12 shots with her 7 iron. Here’s what we found.

So here’s the deal, before I give my full analysis. I think this is a really good product. I think it’s effective and helpful for almost any golfer’s ailment. I think we have to be careful of thinking ANYTHING can give an overnight fix to your golf swing woes. Remember that getting better at golf is a process and some fixes take longer than others.

As you can see with the numbers below, there was no significant improvement after using the Lag Shot for 12 swings like they promoted on the website. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. It just means that it doesn’t work that quick. Overall, I think it’s a good product and just like the whippy clubs, you can’t go wrong by purchasing it. I hope that helps.

Now that the weather is getting colder and it’s getting darker earlier, you have the opportunity to improve your golf game at home with very little equipment.

We have the advantage of the Net Return golf net and the Skytrak launch monitor. We know that most people do not and we want to help you improve your slice at home with just a golf club and a little bit of space.

In our golf studio, we are able to work with our students during inclement weather. For some people, it makes sense to deck out their space with all the gadgets but for some people, this may not be an option.

If you are struggling with a slice, your club face is probably open relative to your swing path. Most of the time this means that the club face is open and the path is moving to the left. The first thing we want to do is make sure we have a good grip. A strong grip means that the V between my thumb and forefinger on my top hand points toward my back shoulder. For someone who has had a chronically weak grip, this may be something that you have to work on for awhile to get comfortable. Once you have committed to that strong top hand, we can move onto the next thing. If the grip is strong and you’re still struggling with a slice, we may want to start looking at the next thing which would be swing path.

We need to keep our hands in front of our chest for as long as possible. Visualize yourself holding a 50 pound sandbag. We are going to need to rotate our torso in order to get that bag to swing. We want to mimic that same body movement when we hold our club, keeping our hands and arms fairly inactive. At home, you can also use a soccer ball or basketball to try to keep your hands in front of your chest during the swing. Once you put the club in your hands, try to keep the club parallel to the ground when it’s parallel to the target.

It’s helpful to have something to swing into but if you can get started off correctly, working on those things at home, when you get to the range, you will be able to use what you’ve been working on at home. In our next instructional blog, we are going to talk about how to start your downswing inside while you practice to have a better chance to swing the club in-to-out and hit the ball straighter.
