Re: Generating more Lag??

I know these guys are professionals, and I don't expect to duplicate their results, but I'd like to work on this. Any thoughts or suggestions.

Take a look at what I mean... YouTube - Phil Mickelson Driver SwingVision (Face On)
We generate more lag by leading our downswing with hips. The more hip lead, the more lag. Lag and late release are NOT done consciously with arm or hand action.

Watch Hogan demonstrate. YouTube - Ben Hogan Golf Swing
