What is lag?

What is lag? Lag and tempo same meaning?

Personally, I view Tempo as the rhythm of the entire golf swing (back swing, down swing, follow through). Good Tempo means a good, free-flowing swing without being tense up.

To me, Lagging means the acceleration of downswing speed to and after impact..Easy to understand but still trying to learn to execute..

is IT term lagging is the compute upload very slow then jam jam jam hahaha ^^,

What is lag? We've all heard this term. Lag can be defined as, "trailing" or "following." Golf instruction tells us we need to have it but why?

i think prob means late release

sound quite logical

Lag is created when your legs have moved, hips have turned but shoulders and hands have not. Some people associate this with the "X-factor" theory, where it measures angle between the shoulders and the hips.

Tempo is the rhythm at which one swings. Some golfers have a slow swing while some have a faster swing. I am one of those who were taught to have a distinct pause at the top of the backswing, while most golfers do not have that. All these are part of the tempo. It's the same as in music.

If you want to increase distance, you need to know this "lag". Basically it is a delay in throwing your clubhead at the ball.

Golfers are always thinking of ways to creating bigger lag to hit the ball further. Delay is one aspect. Sequence of motion also matters.

IMHO, Lag can only be created in a swing if you achieve the proper downswing actions.

Moving first......

legs
hip
shoulder
arms
hands
clubhead as the last!

diffcult to understand

I not sure if a back swing is fast, the more powerful the lag...

It's not very difficult to understand BUT damn difficult to execute correctly every time..

in my newbie opinion, more lag means shorter effective swing radius hence can swing faster lor...

sigh.. i miss golfasaurus.. he would be able to give a detailed explanation...

JL tried to explain to me the other time when i was practising.

She said that i have to have more LAG, think she means i need to let my hips and shoulders go before my hand. I think it generates more distant.

But it's difficult to execute loh. like. VERY DIFFICULT.
