Lag Shot Original

I got interested in this club through Erika Larkin’s endorsement. After over 60 years of reading about golf instruction, I found her book and her videos to be the most helpful things I ever saw. I have used this for several months now. The best thing about this weighted, flexible training club is simple: you can actually hit balls with it and see results. This is why I prefer it to the orange whip and other similar products. If you can’t see what is really happening with ball flight, you could very well be instilling bad habits. I think some of the product claims were unrealistic and a bit of a reach for me. Ten or twelve swings with it won’t change anything. I always use this club to begin my practice sessions. I hit balls with it until the contact and flight are where I want them, then I proceed to my regular clubs. If something in my swing gets off, I will return to this club until I am back on track. I also use it as my first club when I warm up for a round, starting with short swings and working up to a full swing with it before I proceed to my clubs. The club comes with some drills you can do that I looked at. They may be helpful, I don’t know, I just picked it up and started swinging it. That is really all you need to do. It is now part of my regular routines. I presume it is durable, I have hit maybe 500-600 full shots with it and it hasn’t broken. I really like it.

A nice training aide. Having issues with iron play. Watched the videos and with that, it helps to understand what to do and what it can help with. It’s a good training aide and iron play is improving.

I have a tendency to release the clubhead earlier than I should when swinging a golf club even though I have been about a 5 handicap for many years. All I can say is that this club works. It has a very limber shaft and, as such, it requires one to slow one's swing a little so that the clubhead is released properly. Since the shaft is a little thicker than normal, the grip feels like it would be about 1/16 inch thicker than normal. Generally, I swing this club back and forth about 10 times before attempting to hit a shot. Then, the swing is grooved and I can make a shot with a slower swing. The ball will obviously not go as far with this 7-iron since the swing is slowed down. However, that is not what I am intending to do. When I switch to my 7-iron, I will begin to speed the swing to my normal speed. After having used this for several weeks, I can notice a difference in the way my club releases through impact and see the results in my ball flight. I would order this club again.

Let me say, I have bought and used many golf training aids over the years. The lag shot 7 iron is likely the best of the bunch. After some practice shots (small swings working up to bigger swings) for about 30 minutes I was amazed at the immediate results. Noticeable improvements in lag, timing, tempo, shallowing the club, balance and follow through. The instant feedback promotes turning with the body, clearing the hips and following with your hands instead of chasing, casting or throwing the club at the ball. I am currently a 2 index but was looking for something to create more consistent contact and a more effortless (ie Fred Couples) swing. This is it! It’s pricey at $120 but consider the cost of a golf lesson. This can be a trainer on demand and allow you to actually feel the correct swing positions. I highly recommend the lag shot.

Solid...hit quite a few range balls with this. If you are like me and have good form but just don't have the time to practice during the week, this thing will help you get your tempo and rythm back ...if your mechanics are good, this will absolutely keep you from "tugging" the club from the too and keep your tempo slow and sweet.

I have been playing for over 55 years and have a reasonable understanding of the physics of golf, so I should have been suspicious of a one-size-fits-all type of training device that uses an overweight head on an overly flexible shaft, but I haven't been playing as much in recent years and I hoped that something like this would help me maintain a more consistent rhythm. I reviewed as much of the instructional information as I could find online prior to using the club at the range several times, but it only resulted in nasty hooks with my regular clubs, so I have dropped it from my practice routine. I can easily imagine that it could work for folks with a different physiology, swing mechanics, etc., but it doesn't work for me. Having said that, the club seems to be well made, and the heavy head makes it a good alternative to using two irons during my pre-round warm-up, so it is currently in my bag as a 14th club until I find a tweener hybrid I like.

Works well for developing your swing.

I have a training aid called the Whippy TempoMaster from the 1990's that was essentially the same concept as this training aid, but the overall design of the Lag Shot is significantly better in design and execution. The only beef I have with this training aid is that the default lie angle is too flat. My turf interaction is completely on the toe end of the sole resulting in pretty hard fades regardless of how good my timing is. Just an FYI I'm a 5 handicap with a driver swing speed of 115mph.

I bought this club after struggling with my swing tempo for last 2 months, and in just a few range sessions it has helped.

The grip that is fitted to this club feels terrible to the touch. (Hard and plastic feeling, not rubbery) If you make the same mistake I did in removing the grip to fit a better one you will discover it’s a unique grip that cannot be replaced with a standard one.

I’m a 7 hcp but most of my bad shots come from rushing the downswing and poor tempo. This is exactly what I needed to train the ideal tempo and I now use it as part of my pre round warm up. One of the best training aids I’ve ever used and I’ve used plenty!

MUY BUENO ME GUSTO
