There's always videos I'll find and ask her.. hey do I do this? Should I do this? Or often times she will say,, I've been trying to tell you that!!! Lol

    Great question. We like the high handle for the driver and our students who struggle slicing the golf ball. If we have students struggling with proper wrist hinge we will have them lower the hands. Hope that helps...

    Why wouldn't you set your flat lead wrist condition at set-up, so you wouldn't have to think about having to manipulate your wrist during the swing ?

    I think, turn, set wrist and swing. For me its tempo. Turn, set wrist swing. If I set wrist early, no distance in my back swing. So its all sequencing, tempo. Turn, upper body, set wrist, swing. I do that over and over so my tempo is the same.

  • @Peter-we8iw
    @Peter-we8iw11 ай бұрын

    Totally disagree with you, at least the way you describe and demonstrate the weight of the club in the swing. To me, the club must feel heavy from the handle to clubhead through the swing. What you demonstrate is weak hands where the weight of the club overpowers the hands and arms. I need a firm grip feeling the weight of the club in the coil to set the club at the top of the backswing. Once the club is set the lower body and legs lead the shoulders, arms, and wrists through release in the downswing.

    The trail wrist does NOT hinge up and to compare this with an extreme wrong swing is a strawman argument. Lead wrist hinges up. Trail wrist hinges BACK.
