Description
Congrats to Bernd Wiesberger for winning the 2015 French Open and Congrats to Danny Lee for winning the 2015 Greenbriar Classic. **Are you constantly fighting with your mechanics in search of ways to produce more lag into your swing?** In this video, I'll show you how Danny Lee and Bernd Wiesberger get a ton of lag in their golf swings...but in 2 different ways. I'll show you how both players start the swing off the same way, build lag differently and then end up in the exact same spot in the hitting area!
Video Practice Points
- Stay wide into the takeaway with both arms straight.
- Only have enough wrist set at the completion of the takeaway to get the club parallel to the ground.
- Keep the wrists supple during the swing.
- Allow the weight shift to create more angle for lag.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.600
Hey, hey, what's up everyone? This is RST
2
00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:04.379
instructor Chris Tyler, and we are back
3
00:00:04.379 --> 00:00:05.639
again with this week's tour analysis.
4
00:00:06.100 --> 00:00:07.440
We've got on the left-hand side of the
5
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:08.619
screen this week, we've got the French
6
00:00:08.619 --> 00:00:10.900
Open champion, Burnt Weisberger, and on
7
00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:11.919
the right-hand side of the screen, we
8
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:14.259
have the 2015 Greenbrier champion, Danny
9
00:00:14.259 --> 00:00:15.699
Lee. So congratulations to both these
10
00:00:15.699 --> 00:00:17.320
fellas on picking up some great victories
11
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.160
this weekend. We're going to be focusing
12
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.059
in on clubhead speed. I know we all want
13
00:00:21.059 --> 00:00:23.019
it, And I know we all want that mythical
14
00:00:23.019 --> 00:00:24.679
creature that everybody seems to look for
15
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:26.019
and nobody can seem to find, and that's
16
00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:27.940
lag. We're going to be focusing in on how
17
00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:29.679
both these players get a ton of lag in
18
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:30.800
their golf swing, and they do it two
19
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:32.600
different ways. So if you're looking for
20
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.039
a solution to put more clubhead speed,
21
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:35.460
then you're going to want to pay close
22
00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:36.939
attention to this analysis. Let's go
23
00:00:36.939 --> 00:00:37.420
ahead and get started.
24
00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:46.100
All right, guys. So as I said in the
25
00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:47.820
opener, we're going to be focusing in on
26
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:50.359
that mythical creature, mythical unicorn,
27
00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:53.020
that people always want in the golf swing
28
00:00:53.020 --> 00:00:54.320
and never really can seem to find, and
29
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:54.780
that's lag.
30
00:00:57.780 --> 00:00:59.359
They do it just a little bit differently,
31
00:00:59.619 --> 00:01:01.380
And I'm going to outline a game plan here
32
00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:02.979
for you guys to help you get more lag and
33
00:01:02.979 --> 00:01:04.659
more speed in your golf swings. And also
34
00:01:04.659 --> 00:01:06.140
be able to have a lot of control at the
35
00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:06.599
same time.
36
00:01:07.219 --> 00:01:08.120
So let's go ahead and get started here
37
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.980
taking a look at both players into their
38
00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:11.359
takeaway positions, and this is really
39
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.019
kind of the jumping off point to start to
40
00:01:13.019 --> 00:01:14.260
build a lot of lag in your golf swing,
41
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:14.819
believe it or not.
42
00:01:15.459 --> 00:01:16.620
You're going to see a lot of tour
43
00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:19.200
players, a lot of quality, high-level
44
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.980
players are going to stay really wide
45
00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:21.920
into their takeaway here.
46
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:24.439
Okay, you're going to see Danny Lee do
47
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.040
the exact same kind of thing here. So
48
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.060
both players are into a completed part of
49
00:01:28.060 --> 00:01:30.140
their takeaway, where you see both arms
50
00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:30.859
nice and straight,
51
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:33.239
And you're going to see just enough wrist
52
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:34.819
set here to support the club to where the
53
00:01:34.819 --> 00:01:37.120
club shaft is parallel to the ground. You
54
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.519
don't see a ton of wrist set to where the
55
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.579
club shaft is angled up like this. That
56
00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:41.819
would start to get the wrists into a
57
00:01:41.819 --> 00:01:43.879
fully set position, and they're just like
58
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:45.060
any other muscle group. If you get your
59
00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:46.799
wrists fully loaded up, They, in turn,
60
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.620
can start to throw the club or fire the
61
00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:49.659
club very early. And make it very
62
00:01:49.659 --> 00:01:51.760
difficult for you to get lag or maintain
63
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:52.640
it in the first place.
64
00:01:53.620 --> 00:01:54.840
All right, so you want to, into the
65
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:55.900
takeaway position, what you're looking
66
00:01:55.900 --> 00:01:57.599
for is to keep both arms very straight.
67
00:01:58.300 --> 00:01:59.680
Okay, this is going to establish a very
68
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.540
wide swing arc, and then just enough
69
00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:02.799
wrist set to where you see the club shaft
70
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.359
parallel to the ground. So both have very
71
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.519
textbook-looking takeaway positions here.
72
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.300
All right, so let's go ahead and work up
73
00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:09.439
to the top of the swing here. I'm going
74
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.539
to go ahead and do Burnt first here. So
75
00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:13.539
as he starts to work up, he's continuing
76
00:02:13.539 --> 00:02:16.080
to focus on rotation. Right arm flexion
77
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.219
starts to come in. And here we are at the
78
00:02:18.219 --> 00:02:20.199
top of his golf swing, the very tippy-top
79
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.080
here, where you can see that the club
80
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:23.780
head here and the club shaft aren't to
81
00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:24.159
parallel.
82
00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:26.520
A very good-looking golf swing as a whole
83
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.360
here. Where you're going to see Danny Lee
84
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:29.699
do something a little bit different here.
85
00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:31.240
He's going to go ahead and continue to
86
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:32.139
work on rotation,
87
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:34.300
adds his right arm flexion, but you're
88
00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:35.979
going to see his wrists get really fully
89
00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:37.719
loaded up up here. So this is the top of
90
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.599
his golf swing, where you can see the
91
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.780
club shaft has gone a little bit,
92
00:02:42.100 --> 00:02:44.300
I actually prefer Burnt's method here,
93
00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:46.240
because what it does is it's got less
94
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.360
moving parts to it. It's a little bit
95
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:49.719
tighter, and it's a little bit easier to
96
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:50.180
control.
97
00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:52.479
It doesn't mean that because Danny's
98
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.000
allowed the club to travel a little bit
99
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.319
further going back, is he going to have
100
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:56.979
more club head speed. There's a lot of
101
00:02:56.979 --> 00:02:58.319
other variables that contribute to that
102
00:02:58.319 --> 00:02:59.460
stuff. But you're going to see how both
103
00:02:59.460 --> 00:03:00.780
players get a ton of lag in their golf
104
00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:02.099
swing, and they do it totally different.
105
00:03:02.580 --> 00:03:04.259
So let's focus on Danny first here.
106
00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:05.620
You're going to see that Danny does what
107
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:07.439
we call a lot of down-cocking of the
108
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.139
club. You're going to see that this angle
109
00:03:09.139 --> 00:03:10.860
up here starts to increase right there as
110
00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:12.639
he starts to shift left. So he's doing
111
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.740
that by keeping the wrist very supple,
112
00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:17.300
and he's allowing the shift to help
113
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:19.919
create more of an angle between the club
114
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:21.560
shaft and the forearms. So you're going
115
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.979
to see here, as he gets the hands down to
116
00:03:23.979 --> 00:03:25.819
about hip height or so,
117
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.500
a pretty good strong angle here between
118
00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:29.800
the club shaft and the forearms.
119
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.460
Okay, so very good-looking move there as
120
00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:34.060
far as this, you know, The The downswing,
121
00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:35.699
sequencing and allowing the hands and
122
00:03:35.699 --> 00:03:38.639
arms to create more angle there, with
123
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.479
some suppleness of the wrist. Where
124
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:41.520
you're going to see a totally different
125
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.340
kind of approach from what Burnt does
126
00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:45.340
here. Burnt does kind of a move where we
127
00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:48.000
almost feel like there's like a five
128
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.340
-pound weight wrapped around the grip of
129
00:03:49.340 --> 00:03:50.460
the club, and it's almost pulling your
130
00:03:50.460 --> 00:03:52.300
arms straight down in a sense.
131
00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:54.300
Okay, not that we're trying to pull the
132
00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:56.000
hands down, but that's, you know, That's
133
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.419
another big misnomer of the golf swing is
134
00:03:57.419 --> 00:03:58.860
that we want to pull the arms down and
135
00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:00.020
yank them in front of us, and in turn
136
00:04:00.020 --> 00:04:01.180
we're going to have all kinds of lag. But
137
00:04:01.180 --> 00:04:02.599
that can actually start to get you in a
138
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:03.819
race between the hands and the arms and
139
00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:04.139
the body.
140
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.759
So again, we'll just get this arrow off
141
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.479
the screen here. You're going to see that
142
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.240
he doesn't make a lot of down-cock up
143
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.000
there at the top of the swing at all. So
144
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.080
you can see his hands and arms are just
145
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.579
kind of falling. All right, it looks like
146
00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:17.860
they're moving quite a bit, But they're
147
00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:19.319
just kind of falling from that particular
148
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:20.720
position, from the top of the swing while
149
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:22.639
he's working to transfer and shift his
150
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.500
weight. So all that movement from the
151
00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:25.740
hands and the arms and the shoulders is
152
00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:27.560
really being done by mostly lower body.
153
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:29.519
If we were to stop in this position and
154
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.279
then wind his lower body back up, you
155
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.660
would see that he would be right back up
156
00:04:32.660 --> 00:04:33.500
in this same position.
157
00:04:34.339 --> 00:04:36.160
All right, so that move right there is
158
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.120
all lower body without a whole lot of
159
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:39.899
down-cock in it. So let's go ahead and
160
00:04:39.899 --> 00:04:41.459
look here. So you get the hands right
161
00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:43.120
about belt-tight as well, and you're
162
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.339
going to see almost the same angle that
163
00:04:45.339 --> 00:04:45.839
Danny has.
164
00:04:46.819 --> 00:04:48.220
Okay, so you can see that both players
165
00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:49.759
were able to get a ton of lag in their
166
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.540
golf swings. And this is where they get
167
00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:53.560
back to the world of similarities here.
168
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.680
You're going to see that as he gets his
169
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.560
hands in front of his trail thigh here,
170
00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.180
this is burnt working down here, and his
171
00:04:59.180 --> 00:05:00.819
hands in front of the trail thigh, you're
172
00:05:00.819 --> 00:05:01.899
going to see the club shaft come back to
173
00:05:01.899 --> 00:05:02.699
parallel to the ground.
174
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.920
Okay, Danny Lee, same thing here. So you
175
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.300
can see hands are right in front of that
176
00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:08.920
trail thigh. Club shaft is now parallel
177
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.779
to the ground. And again, so both players
178
00:05:11.779 --> 00:05:13.720
have very good moves, and they get down
179
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:14.800
to the hitting area to where they're
180
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.199
getting ready to release this golf club,
181
00:05:16.220 --> 00:05:17.379
and they're going to have a ton of speed
182
00:05:17.379 --> 00:05:19.500
here. And also, you know, they're not
183
00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:21.600
carrying in a boatload of lag. That's one
184
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:22.920
of the areas that a lot of people,
185
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:24.439
because they know that it's potential
186
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.360
club head speed, is sometimes they carry
187
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:27.699
too much lag into the hitting area, and
188
00:05:27.699 --> 00:05:29.439
it's very, very difficult to get rid of.
189
00:05:29.779 --> 00:05:31.180
It can actually be a double-edged sword,
190
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.459
believe it or not. I think that's one of
191
00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:35.079
the big things that we want to express
192
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:36.779
along to people is that it's fun to have,
193
00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:38.240
and it's good for club head speed, But it
194
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.060
also can create a lot of timing variables
195
00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:41.819
and make it very difficult to get rid of
196
00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:43.879
it. And get the club face back to square.
197
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.459
A club face can come in really steep as
198
00:05:46.459 --> 00:05:48.420
well, and we battle that with a lot of
199
00:05:48.420 --> 00:05:50.579
professional players. So let's go ahead
200
00:05:50.579 --> 00:05:52.980
and finish up here. You'll see that both
201
00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:54.660
players take from the club shaft being
202
00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:56.480
parallel to the ground, and then the
203
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:57.939
release through the hitting area with
204
00:05:57.939 --> 00:05:59.439
lots of good extension here. Pretty much
205
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.139
textbook extension there from Danny.
206
00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:04.480
A very similar like move here from Burnt,
207
00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:07.300
so that's pretty much it, guys. That's
208
00:06:07.300 --> 00:06:09.319
the idea is that in order to get lag, you
209
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:10.920
want to establish things really early on
210
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.040
in the swing, like we talked about
211
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:13.560
getting into a good takeaway position
212
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.620
without having a lot of wrist set. All
213
00:06:15.620 --> 00:06:16.680
right, so if you've been struggling with
214
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:17.980
your takeaway, I'm going to attach all
215
00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:19.259
these videos over here in the recommended
216
00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:20.740
Videos tab to the right-hand side of the
217
00:06:20.740 --> 00:06:21.879
player. Just go ahead and click that
218
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.839
recommended tab, and all those videos
219
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:25.019
will pop right up.
220
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:27.720
So you want to have enough wrist set just
221
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:29.699
to support the club. If you're unsure of
222
00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:31.120
what that means, there's a video on the
223
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:32.439
website called the Using the Wrists
224
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.319
Effectively and Efficiently. It kind of
225
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:35.540
goes through a lot of the terminology
226
00:06:35.540 --> 00:06:36.680
about what the wrists do.
227
00:06:37.200 --> 00:06:38.839
Also, we have the Keep the Right Arm
228
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.199
Straight to Turn video. That's going to
229
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.160
help you establish more rotation and a
230
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:43.860
lot more width in your golf swing. And
231
00:06:43.860 --> 00:06:45.000
then we have the Down Cock and Pump
232
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.560
Drill. That's another good video that,
233
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.680
remember, you don't have to overdo those
234
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.620
things. Those things can, if you start to
235
00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:52.339
try to overdo it to try to get into an
236
00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:54.040
area where you have this big, massive
237
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.699
angle, that can also hurt you. We want to
238
00:06:56.699 --> 00:06:59.319
have things into a world of consistency
239
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.360
and a world of speed. So make sure you
240
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.399
work on that, but don't overdo it. And
241
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:05.600
then work on five minutes to a perfect
242
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.120
release. If you have those things in
243
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.319
order, you will have more lag, more
244
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.579
speed, and more control than you've ever
245
00:07:11.579 --> 00:07:12.920
had before, I promise you guys.
246
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:14.420
All right, so that's going to be our
247
00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:15.660
review this week, guys. Again,
248
00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:17.379
congratulations to both these players on
249
00:07:17.379 --> 00:07:19.060
a job well done this weekend. I hope
250
00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:20.560
everybody had a wonderful and a happy
251
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.180
holiday weekend. For those of you in the
252
00:07:22.180 --> 00:07:24.220
States, for those of you worldwide, let's
253
00:07:24.220 --> 00:07:25.620
make it a great day. And I hope you guys
254
00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:27.100
all the best on the golf course.

to a golf swing model that appears to be ideal...It's a big muscle, motor-driven swing
that's repeatable...You don't have to be a super athlete."

"I started playing at 70 years old,
at the beginning I was scoring around 100 plus... Following the RST 5 Step System
my scores are in the 80 to 86 range. I am out-hitting guys in their 40's and 50's,
thanks to you and your system. My back or other muscles never ache, nor am I tired after
