Extensive, state of the art six-dimensional swing dynamics and biomechanics testing on over 100 golfers of all ability levels proves that LagMaster increases clubhead speed, power, distance and purity of ball striking. Click below to learn more about the specific results achieved across a number of critical swing metrics.
Jason Meisch, 3D expert and Golf Digest Top 50 Golf Fitness Instructor, explains how the LagMaster benefits the player to create more speed in their swing. LagMaster benefits the player by providing instant feedback when the player makes the proper movement with the body and sequence in the down swing. The best players in the world maximize this sequence to generate enormous amount of power.
To create power they begin the down stroke with their lower body, followed by the torso moving second, the arms are third in this sequence, allowing the club to lag behind and come into impact last resulting in maximizing power and speed at the moment of truth.
The LagMaster creates a powerful position by giving the player feedback when they have reached the correct position at the top of the back stroke. This shows the player when they are in a loaded position at the top creating the opportunity to make a correct down swing. Many players in an effort to make a bigger turn in the back swing tend to get into a reverse pivot or negative spine bend at the top. This position will force the player to start their swing down incorrectly with their arms causing an early release or “casting”. Poor and inconsistent contact will be the result when the arms start the down swing.
Distance does not always have to be a result of more club head speed. When a player casts in the down swing, the club head beats the hands to the ball at impact, adding loft to the club and increasing the launch angle. Loft is one key ingredient to a player’s Smash Factor. Smash Factor known often as how solid a shot was hit, is measured by ball speed divided by club head speed. Maximum Smash Factor is with a driver at 1.50. The Smash Factor for a 7 iron can range from 1.35 and 1.40. When a player “flips” or “scoops” the ball through impact the increased loft decreases compression and slower ball speed equaling lower Smash Factor.
One main cause of inconsistent contact on face is not controlling the radius of the swing (the left arm and club). Proper sequence in the down swing allows a player to control the radius by storing the 90 degree angle between the club shaft and left arm known by many as “the lag angle”. Controlling the radius of the swing massively affects where the low point of the golf swing is. The low point is located under the left shoulder in a proper swing, will move back behind the ball when a player does not manage the radius correctly.
