Guys, I was wondering if you guys could help me out.

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys could help me out. My practice swing looks much better than my actual swing to me though I know I am exaggerating some things in it like lag. I really want to get some lag in my real swing and can get it in my practice swing. I have been struggling to get them to match or at least look similar for at least two years now. The main thing I want is lag in my real swing because I know I can hit the ball much better, further, consistently, and more solid with it. It is very frustrating since I can do it without a ball but can’t seem to with a ball no matter what I do including trying to relax or feel relaxed as much as possible and trying to break my wrists sooner in my real swing. So that being said I was wondering if any of you have had the same issue and how you overcame it if you did? Any help or ideas are very much appreciated, guessing AXIOM might fix it but won’t know until April from my understanding and can’t get a live lesson for it right now. I have an individual tournament coming up on the golfweek amateur tour tournament on the 20th so really want to get this fixed before then if possible. Last tournament I played in recently was terrible especially since I had this swing and the short game was not as good as it normally is to save me. It has been driving me crazy. I should be able to do it in a real swing too if I can do it in my practice swing! Thanks!

Hello Lee. The practice swing is a little dramatic. But, the difference is the ratio. Your lower half is working twice as much as the arms/hands. The arms/hands in real swing are working twice as much as lower half vs legs in transition. Your goal needs to be to change the ratio.
