I own an XL Lag Shot 7-iron, and have begun to FINALLY hit balls straight, (often using the divot board that Tom recommends) with building consistency. Hooray! I am in golf swing rehab, recovering from a chronic combo of early arm extension, over-the-top steepness, fiiring the hands from the top, to name a few. If golf has seven deadly sins, I think I have had them all at one time or another.
Converting to SNT, two years ago, with inspiring instruction from Tom Saguto, I have experienced big changes, including a torso-arms connected swing and greatly-improved ball-striking.
My next white whale goals are consistent 3-wood off the tee and the deck, and the driver. (Driver being my worst club still) Which leads me back to the Lag Shot: In order to hit the LS 7iron straight, all swing mechanics must be there. Shallowing the club, tempo, lower body initiating the downswing ,arms extending post-impact, the whole enchilada, really.
My question for the forum: in pursuit of conquering my driver swing, should I also invest in a Lag Shot driver, or stay the course with the hours invested in retooling my swing, via Tom's online school, SNT, and continuing to master the LS 7-iron? Another ingredient in my bag, is the Orange whip driver length club, which is a great tool to help warm-up, stay loose in mid-round play, and feel lag, creating club head position awareness. Would the LS driver be redundant, given what I now own?
For anybody reading all of this, thank you, and good luck to all of you and your game-improvement, as well. Cheers!
Just will add agreement with all said. The biggest thing I got from them is the slight pause before converting to down swing. And the biggest factor was finding my tempo, which turns out for me is the biggest and most important componet of me hitting good shots.
