Another great video, Alex. Perfect timing, I just bought a G snap wrist training aid and was struggling with it. This drill along with that should help immensely 👏👏👍.
Alex, I’ve got to say this is the simplest and best drill I’ve seen on RU-vid. I will make this my go to every time before I play. By the way I’ve just retired and taking up golf.
I watched a video recently on grips and wrist angles and I went from a neutral grip to a weak grip with a bowed wrist and address. First few sessions hitting and rounds it felt awesome and was going well. But then I slowly started to get super left with my path, to a point where it almost felt like I couldn’t swing right at all. Haven’t been able to make good contact for over a week now. Watched this video and went out and hit a few following these steps and contact and flight were great. Has me thinking maybe where I was so bowed I was making too much turn with my arms at takeaway and I needed this to get that balance back.
Fantastic video Alex! You jumped right into teaching and explaining the drills. I love it. I want to thank you for taking the time to teaching the viewers. Cheers!
This is the best video I watch in the last 12 months. I took your information provided to the driving range and it WORKS. Thank you. Yet, it only works for my iron clubs, not hybrid. Can you recommend one for me ( incorporating the info you provided in this video)?
Great tip! I'd enjoy a video that addresses various lies, slopes, and how to setup and hit ball well. In U.S. just returned from spring break trip where I played a links style course that was very wet and a Florida course where the rough areas caused me to hit some wedges where the ball was sitting up fine but I just went under the ball and got no distance. You're probably thinking ball striking lesson, but from most good lies I did hit good strikes; ball first divot after. It was the off fairway, off green shots that caused me headaches.
I love the drill. I have been working on the flat wrist thing the whole winter. But the next problem I have, is a too steep backswing at the top. Are there some good swing thoughts for getting flatter? Thanks.
Alex your videos are really helpful, an issue I'm struggling with is hitting the ball too high ((Irons) . On the range swinging at 75% I get a nice trajectory but on increasing power I gain too much height which into wind results in a big yardage loss??
VIDEO for u to do Alex concerning this "thing" called hinge .... ANY real good golfer knows that how, what reason and when one hinges the club is ALL depending on feet speed, body turn speed vs hand speed ... u should address that one!! DJ bows that wrist like crazy... reason being that he is soooo quick and strong with his body that turns crazy much + fast ... so his body speed makes this possible ... if one does this with slow body and fast hands that ball would go 200 yards left!!!! Doing all sorts of hinging has a cause/reason ... = SPEED match of hands vs body + foot work.... hope you'll make that video ....huge video it would be for regular golfers to understand heh... :P .... cause you and me both know that one isn't better than the other ... it just depends on the human and how he/she moves holding the club ...
Odd question perhaps, but any thoughts on which hand facilitates the hinge? I swing a club/bat righty but I throw lefty and consider myself left-hand dominant. I don’t feel I get enough hinge and sometimes wonder whether my “weak” right hand should be doing more pulling to get that hinge going whereas now it feels like the right hand just comes along for the ride while my left does most of the (attempted, and not great) hinging.
Alex, in this video your back foot apers to be about 3 inches from the club on the ground whereas your front foot is apears to be 6 inches away from the club! Is this a result of camera angle or is your stance slightly open?
All I would say is that for a player who uses the heard super swing (search RU-vid and see the wrist hinge drill ) with a very strong grip and SA golf this is overly complicated.
I play better when I cock my wrists a fraction later in my take away, I did that yesterday and hit a 280 yard drive on the 17th at Hollingbury Park GC.
