How to release lag (my version...
)
The difference between fully lagged and released is two basic movements...
1) At approach to impact, your back of your left hand is roughly parallel (more inside to be honest) to the target line, with your left thumb pointing away from the target...
Therefore in order to square the clubface, you'll need to get your hand in a "thumbs up" position (but with a flat or palmer flexed wrist), i.e. rotate it 90 degrees or so anti clockwise....
2) Now, on top of that, your left wrist goes from cocked (radially flexed) to fully uncocked, with the wrist cocked down (ulna deviated)....
The combination of the two above gives the ideal hand position at impact...
Therefore, from maximum lag, it becomes important to work on increasing the speed that the two above "release" thenselves into the ideal position....
For 1) above, you can practice "thumbing a lift" to the left, making sure you don't over-rotate the thumb, i.e so it is pointing more towards the target than upright through impact...you can increase your speed with this movement quite rapidly...
For 2) above, the fastest way to release the left wrist cock is to use the right arm.....you have a flat left wrist right?....your right forearm can rotate clockwise pretty smartly without affecting the FLW....Rotation in this manner pushes the left wrist into ulna deviation very quickly..
The two moves above will release any amount of lag accurately with a bit of practice....
