#719 Lag Is Earned: The Biomechanics of Dynamic Golf Sequencing
The Lag Myth: Why Holding Your Wrist Angle is Killing Your Swing Speed
Few concepts in golf instruction are as misunderstood as “lag.” Many golfers believe lag is an angle between the lead arm and club shaft that must be held as long as possible. But biomechanically, lag is not a position to maintain—it is a dynamic result of efficient sequencing.
Lag Is a Result, Not a Position
True lag is the temporary delay between proximal and distal acceleration. It develops naturally when energy moves efficiently through the kinetic chain:
Ground → Pelvis → Thorax → Arms → Hands → Club
Forced lag occurs…
