Groove square-face lag with slow-motion practice swings

Craig recommends grooving the move with slow-motion practice swings: bring the grip in deep, leading or dragging it, while making sure the clubface comes in square. Once you get the sensation, hit a shot, then go back to slow motion and repeat, checking that you are not presenting the hosel or heel of the club to the ball.
