Of all the things that Pros do differently than amateurs that struggle for distance and have a ball flight between fade&slice is the position of the right hand/wrist as you perfectly highlight here. I have helped many golfers at the range just by showing them this 1-thing - and it usually takes only a few swings and their ball flight transforms immediately. Squaring immediately in transition (Pros) vs never squaring (AMs) is one of Nature's Universal Constants.
I would like to but unfortunately not many people would watch that a few thousand maybe m. Aa i dont have much time for videos I have to really try and make them count. It’s actually really time consuming making them and quite expensive getting them edited.
Anybody actually trying to get good at golf needs to look no further than this man’s instruction. Once you figure out how to apply what he teaches, the improvement to your game is phenomenal.
Hey Craig, unbelievable drill on the wall, my biggest problem is I get lazy in the downswing and proper rotation, which brings on early extention omg can't stand it, I film myself sometimes and I look like anything but a golf swing, lol, the exaggeration on my feels to get proper shoulder tilt is unbelievable, I feel like I'm almost touching the ground lol, but look I get it, your teachings are outstanding just to understand what it should look like and the right feels to get into those positions are the key, what I think I feel has to be so exaggerated it's incredible! when I stand up at impact and flip it drives me insane! So thank you for video always the best!!
In the exercise at 10:30 what allows the goal to be accomplished is side bending the spine forward in the backswing and backwards in the down swing. My observation of recreational golfers is they take the advice to “maintain spine angle” too literally and keep it aligned like a steel rod. The forward side bend in an actual swing is a reflexive reaction of shifting body mass in response to the club force putting backwards in a takeaway if done properly outside the hands. Why don’t beginners swing that way reflexively? Without allowing their brains to reflexively side bend forward, consciously “maintaining spine angle” they can’t shift upper body mass to compensate for the unbalancing force and to avoid being pulled off balance they reflexively swing the club around low and inside to stay in balance. Once a beginner understands on a conceptual level that body mass needs to move opposite club force vector, which constantly changes, and that it is OK to bend the spine sideways they are able to hit the same swing waypoints as the pros reflexively and their swing dynamics greatly improve because getting the club head positioned correctly in the takeaway extension make it automatically stay on a well balanced path for the rest of the swing. The wide takeaway causes a reactive acceleration of the club head up and forward bringing it closer to the center of rotation similar to how a figure skater pulls in arms to spin faster in perfect balance. That’s also why maintaining radial deviation in the wrist and keeping club shaft vertical and close as possible to the center of rotation on the way down allows the golfer to fire hips and drag shoulders faster. I find that explaining those physics to people help them understand the “Why?” underlying the “How To” technique.
As a golf coach for the non athletic types of hopefuls who yearn to play this wonderful game, I teach a literal square-face swing. That is, to keep the face of all clubs square throughout the entire swing. Even Mike Austin would rotate the face after initial take-away and then square it up again with the descending swing arc, much like you are displaying in this vid. Personally, my students and I do well to keep the face square throughout the entire swing. One less thing to think about. This may cost you 10 to 20 yards in distance, as you're not slamming the door shut through impact, but you'll find your ball in play much more, as long as you 'skip a rock' through impact.

The question is whether or not it effects your ball striking. I’ve taught a lot of pros that do that. Including Nick Cullen who won the Australian masters. Body rotation will help more turn at impact. ( you might hit it worse) Lead wrist extension ( ua-cam.com/video/P7b9QPnM6Es/v-deo.html ) this also helps It depends what the goal - you may get the look but you might hit it better but could hit it worse trying
After trying all else for years, I recently discovered my biggest cause of my slice was having weight too much on my toes and being too upright, causing me to stand up through swing opening the clubface. Once I fixed this shoulder plain, club face angle etc came more naturally and I improved my ball striking hugely with a comfortable grip and setup. Also a great drill is one from Mike Malaska in his Over the Top video, throwing a ball at the ball position while holding a club out in front to maintain angle and head position, do that 5 times then do same movement with a club, very simple and effective to get the feel.
Exactly. Been playing 52 years and glad you have learned this. If the first words out of an instructor' mouth isn't addressing how feet should move - weight shifting between ball and heel - they are really clueless. Good teacher tells you what you are doing wrong and how to fix it. Great teacher tells you WHY you are doing it wrong. Why 90% of most right handed player slice is not because the face is open at impact - that is HOW - the WHY of it is the kinesthetic impulse to push out with right shoulder and then trying to save it at the bottom and therefore cutting across. Power is generated in the feet and you can learn to meter distance with the feet is much easier to regulate than with the arms and hands. Good Luck!
@@christiananderson4591 I was always told to have a bit of Weight on toes at address, it's buggered me for years. I'd like to know more about distance control by the feet though. I haven't heard of this before, but that has not been my main focus either.
Hi Jim, I’m not sure exactly what you mean. Written Golf tips is really just guessing at what someone might be doing wrong. And not getting to the point of failure in the swing. Obviously a full swing analysis of your golf swing would be optimal. Not guessing.

Definitely
your videos are a game changer. thank you for the wealth of knowledge you share to us everyday guys.
Thanks Mike nice to hear 👍
Yep. Great video. I like to feel "right hand on top" to P2. It also helps with shoulder tilt back and thru to left shoulder high. Thanks...
Exactly … thanks Martin 👍

Yes. The tilts are the key. Great video.
Thanks Jamie
Hi Craig. I’m wondering if you can break down retire goosens swing. It’s my all time favorite swing along with Rory’s
I would like to but unfortunately not many people would watch that a few thousand maybe m.
Aa i dont have much time for videos I have to really try and make them count.

Understandable.
The exercise is a Great way to warm up your thoracic Spine and keep ist flexibel …. Super helpful 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks very much appreciate you taking the time to post👍
Smith is so good. Thanks for the breakdown I appreciate it a lot. Cheers
Thanks for posting yes his swing is so
Much better than people realise

My clubhead exits the left shoulder more vertically. Any tip to get it more toward 45 degrees?

How do you retain tilt on the downswing
