#166 Golfing: Mastering Distance with Load, Lag, and Workhorse

The Golf247.eu Podcast explores how golfers can increase their driving distance by focusing on both technique and physical training. The podcast highlights three key movement elements that significantly impact swing speed: Load, Lag, and Workhorse.

Load refers to the hinging of the left wrist at the top of the backswing. The greater the angle between the left arm and the shaft, the more tension is created — unlocking greater speed potential.

Lag describes the delay between the body’s forward motion and the moment the clubhead releases. The longer this delay is maintained, the closer the point of maximum acceleration will be to the impact zone. Holding the lag as long as possible is crucial for maximizing speed at the right moment.

Workhorse is the foundation of power, generated from the lower body. This movement begins with a push from the feet, activating lateral and rotational hip movement. The combination of these movements ensures optimal energy transfer.

The podcast also recommends the SuperSpeed Golf Training System as an effective way to improve body movement patterns for increased swing speed.

Key Conclusion

Both technique and targeted training are essential for increasing driving distance. The coordination of Load, Lag, and Workhorse plays a crucial role in achieving maximum clubhead speed.

The podcast also touches on the Five Dynamics, which are vital in golf to provide:

✅ Maximum margin for error

✅ Consistent ball striking

✅ Optimal accuracy

While the exact details of all five dynamics are not fully explained, Load (Dynamic #3), Lag (Dynamic #4), and Workhorse (Dynamic #5) are confirmed as key components.

Mastering the sequence and coordination of these three elements is the key to unlocking maximum swing speed and achieving greater distance off the tee.
