7 Iron

The Lag Shot is a 7-iron with a little more heft and a very flexible shaft. Unlike abstract swing trainers without feedback, you can get real, concrete feedback on every swing with Lag Shot, because you can actually hit balls with it. The training aid helps golfers feel lag with an extremely flexible blue shaft. Because you can hit golf balls with this training aid, feedback is immediate. And because of the whippy shaft, you have to gain a sense of rhythm and timing to successfully hit balls. The club comes fully assembled with 10 instruction videos by Florida golf professional Adam Bazelgette, plus bonus drills and swing keys.The learning curve is steep—most golfers hit erratic shots initially and need patience to develop consistency. One reviewer kept hitting weak, low and right shots with the Lag Shot 7-iron initially, but after watching videos and working more focused with the club, started hitting good, accurate and consistent shots that improved swing mechanics too. The Lag Shot 7-iron produces about the same distance as a regular 7-iron (testing with a launch monitor confirmed similar ball speeds and carry distance).The club was awarded best swing trainer of the year by Golf Digest two years in a row. 96.2% of golfers would recommend Lag Shot to a fellow golfer. Lag Shot offers a 30-day money-back guarantee: if it doesn't deliver on its promises, you can return it and receive a full refund; you have 30 days to practice indoors, hit balls on the range, or take it on the course.The main limitation is that this trainer demands honest work. For players who don't know how to use their body or forearms/wrists, the Lag Shot creates a stream of shots to the right, and this level of difficulty isn't inherently good or bad, but it's worth noting. Some reviewers questioned whether realistic improvement occurs quickly, noting one or two strokes gained after working religiously at the range, and that a regular golf club provides feedback each time you hit a shot too.
