mark immelman. you know his brother, and mark has a podcast called on the mark which i listen to which is all about instruction.

@@taylort123 His podcast is legend....I hear "Synovus, the bank of here." in my dreams

@@taylort123 Thanks a lot!

The commentary was too complicated in my opinion

Right. I’m almost 58. And I’ve been crushing the ball as good as I ever have. And I started at 12 years old.

did you take any shots off the scorecard?

He always said is bowed and everyone knew exactly what he was saying. Do you spell check texts too?

@@chuckyz2 A spelling error is the right idea with the wrong execution. Saying flexion is extension is completely wrong.

Yeah this bothered me! How can you get that wrong in his position

It's in flexion, the opposite of extension.

It’s the socal accent

That’s exactly why I’m watching this video 😆 I noticed it in the last interview I saw

Copycat

he doesnt have to bow his wrist if u watch his junior clips he doesnt hve a super bowed wrist

In general…. Certain wrist conditions match up with certain grips. Because him and Rahmbo use weaker grips, and hit the ball with their body rotation, they don’t rely on their hands to square the face(Rory). The “glove logo down” through impact gives them shaft lean, and a very stable face, without having to feel like they’re rolling, or flipping it closed. There are different ways to create speed, and square the face. I’d say this is a pretty good way to do it. Keep in mind…. The more open your hips are at impact, and the more right side bend that you create through impact, the later the club wants to release(or, roll over). Try it in slow motion, and you’ll see what I mean… With open hips, and right side bend, you’ll be able to keep the face square to the arc for much longer, post impact. However, if you go through impact with square hips, and more level shoulders, the toe immediately starts rolling over the heel through the hitting zone. A persons hip, and torso flexibility will determine how much hip rotation, and right side bend that you can achieve. However, I’d say all amateurs would benefit from having more of both(open hips, and right side bend) through impact. Note…. If you play with a weak grip, and a cupped left wrist, forget everything I just said. You’ll be REQUIRED to have a flippy release, with no body rotation through the ball. This will result in iffy contact, and a high, weak ball flight. Good luck with that.

@@jamiesloan7259 I'm old school, fewer moving parts. If you have to rely on the same angle of wrist bowing to hit a good shot you're going to have issues at some point when you're timing is off. IMO simple is better.

@@Pulse2AM I appreciate you commenting back. Golf is a very individual game. Definitely “to each his own”. What is your skill level, and distance? If you don’t mind me asking…

@@jamiesloan7259 I'm 65, I started playing at 7 yrs. old. When I played a few times a month i was a legit 7 handicap on tournament rated courses. I think since I haven't played in years with a few weeks of practice I would be back to shooting 78 to 82 even at my age because I keep myself in really good shape. I went to the range last month and still hit the ball like I did in my late 40's.

Blah blah we get what he's trying to say

Difference?

@@Tony-Jabroni if you google wrist flexion vs extension its quite obvious

@@nowndalesale8518 i was hoping it would be explained to me

@@Tony-Jabroni Flexion is when you bend your wrist forward, as if you are easing off on a motorcycle throttle. It is clearly what Collin does with his left wrist throughout his swing. Extension is when you bend your wrist backwards (often referred to as cupping in golf instruction), as if you are hitting the throttle on a motorcycle.

@@Tony-Jabroni Immelman gets it exactly wrong here, about a dozen times :)

Backswing is i think key for collin. good backswing, good right arm setup will allow an easier path in the downswing

Practice

How are two different terms both correct? If you google hand flexion and extension, you can clearly see that his left hand is in flexion.

@@RedDragonfly205 If youre talking about opposite hands then yes, you cant do one without the other as the hands are performing opposite motions. I'm saying that in the video at 5:41 he's saying that his left hand is extended when its clearly flexed

Different countries. One is from new zealand the other from south africa, similar vowels is probably what you hear, can understand how you think they sound the same to an untrained ear

Lots of noodles

I realize that too

There is a golf teacher from japan that has a real slow back swing and basically shows that its all in the down swing, cant remember his name but he’s a big proponent to asian slow swings

I believe its something to do with ironically kawaswing, which comes from baseball, probably where a lot of the slow swings originate from

Idk who this guy is, but that's a south african accent

Yeah tell Rahm, DJ, Morikawa, and Hovland they have a dumb compensation for poor face control. DJ has been doing it a long time so I don’t think longevity can be argued either. Every swing is a series of compensations or everyone would be swinging the exact same way.

@@colonelangus3826 It is a compensation that they got used to and they made it work. Doesn't mean you should be doing it. It's prone to injury too.

@@colonelangus3826 DJ has been doing it as a kid and just stuck with it. You can't argue with what I'm saying. It makes no sense anatomically. You would never throw a ball or frisbee or anything else that way. The point is this garbage shouldn't be taught - there's no reason to teach it or to ever try doing it. If you were a kid like DJ and just did it and it works, then fine, but leave it alone otherwise. People are on ranges every day trying to do this and it's making them take two steps backwards in improving their swing.

Nah it wud be weird if u came lol
