JKM is fantastic. I love watching his videos and wish I could play more golf. He makes the instruction so simple but still very effective. Keep up the good work.
The difference I see here vrs. other instructors is that he has you maintain the wrist angles after impact and into the follow through. Other teachers have the left wrist cup/ right wrist straighten during the follow through.
I have never rolled my forearms as you describe and yes I hit a lot of pushes and slices. Just tried it standing up and for the first time I was able to hold the wrist positions correctly. I have always tried to use body rotation to square the clubface with inconsistent results. I haven't played golf for 7 months as i am thinking of given it away. If this forearm roll doesn't work for me, then I guess i'm cooked.
Jonathan just gets it. His videos are so good. He has taken my game to the next level this past year by simply watching and listening to his simple way of explaining the golf swing.
Not long ago I asked Jack if he preferred to address the ball with the clubface open, square or closed. Jack looked at me with that piercing stare: "I've never seen a really good player set it square or closed at address," he said. Then he explained that because you generally set the club so the face is one-quarter inch or so behind the ball, it needs to be slightly open to the target line at that point. If it looked square and you didn't manipulate it during the swing, when the club returned to impact it would be slightly closed, causing a hook. Setting the clubface slightly open at address allows you to: • Release the club fully without fear of hooking. • Swing the club naturally with relaxed arms for maximum clubhead speed-and therefore more distance. • Develop better feel for how the club is aligned as it swings through impact. Jack got this from the best….Ben Hogan.
I have been radial deviating my wrists forever and would roll the club at impact. If my timing was on, better scores, but most of the time would hit it out to the right or galloping hook. This is a very important concept that is not talked about enough. Waiter holding the tray with the right hand at the top of the back swing is another visual/ feel that might help. Great information Jonathon as always.
I had a lesson from one of the pros at my local driving range. He had me do exactly what this video is all about, and I nit the ball so great for a while. I "lost" the feel and tinkered with my swing...but now I will go back to it because I have your video to refer back to. I hit great iron shots with a wonderful draw.
So here is my question, If I do a bicep curl then rotate, Right elbow remains in front, then uncurl while back is to the target to start the downswing. In doing this along with keeping the right palm facing away will automatically square the clubface in the downswing.
I get my face closed/squared-up by keeping my weight from sliding left too much. The way I keep my weight from sliding is by reducing the effort in the downswing - I just let the club come down essentially, and I get distance by the amount of backswing and good solid contact. Pretty simple.
How does this video relate to your video on “releasing the club” where you talk about the “L to L Drill”, getting the club head to move faster than the handle, and getting more radial deviation post impact? These seem a little contradictory. Great videos. Thank you
I don't know if you will see this and I understand the reason why I slice but is there a way someone could send a video in to you somehow; I try to "close" my club face and to make sure on my back-swing it is more downward but I am Slicing and that I try to have my right shoulder slightly more down so I can get "under" a tad more. Also, my left elbow bends just a tad; I believe this is normal, as my right arm (as you mentioned in a previous video and ones I have seen) the right-arm is almost at about 90 degrees.
Thank you for such a great drill. Love your videos, but have not seen some exercise on maintaining your body muscles. Do you have some explicit workout exercises? Keep up the good work and stay healthy.
Having trouble hitting my long irons, 2, 3 and the 4 sometimes. I was told that without a lot of swing speed, they are difficult to hit. I assume you still recommend 55% weight on the lead side on all irons? And ideas or should I consider hybrids?
Dude this video is for me. This is my biggest issue. Tha k you Jonathan I appreciate these great video. Thank you. Oh maybe one on tempo on sholder and arm speed. I feel loke some time my arms beat my hips and shoulder. Any great drill would help with that thank you again
Never a wasted moment. Clear instructions and good drills carefully explained. I wouldnt hesitate to take lessons from him but Singapore is a long way fr Vancouver.
Been trying to nail this for 12 months, watched your video today and was able to follow and implement straight away.. What you said, the way it was shown just made sense .. Ive been cat 1 and still struggling with rotating and opening the club face so this has really helped Johnathan.. many thanks, Phil
I went to a Golf Tec and my coach never explained it to me this way nor went through a drill like this. He always had me doing full swings. Felt like I wasted a lot of money there.
This shit is critical. I’ve never heard anyone explain closing the clubface like that. The down the line angle of the ipad turning really made it clear
If you want to hit weak blocks to the right then do that! OR if that is a FEEL you need based on your tendencies to get you doing the movement correctly
@@alfonz7863 - I don't want to hit slices. I stopped slicing golf balls 40 years ago. I want to able to hit a fade rather draw everything which is what I do.
I was out on the range practicing this today while wife was doing leave it actually made me focus a lot more on what my lead wrist was doing at impact and post impact
