Ulnar deviation when done purposely is the reason your ball doesn't fly as far and straight as it should. People who ulnar deviate think that they need to point the shaft at the ball in order for the clubhead to make contact with the ball. Ulnar deviation happens but not intentionally. We actually need to resist it until we can't and then let it happen naturally. That's how the clubhead rips through impact with effortless power. As adults we over-think the engineering of the club and think that we need to help it strike the ball when the reality is that we'd have to do something really odd to prevent it from striking the ball. We have to learn to hit the ball as if we don't care where it goes in order for it to go straight and far. I know it sounds crazy but that's exactly what has to happen. Think of a child who doesn't care at all where the ball goes. They just like hitting it and that's tall they're doing, but the ball goes straight and far. Why is that? It's because they don't know enough about the engineering to care about it and they're just letting it do what it is made to do.
Golf should not be a struggle. Golf should not be hard. Golf is easy if you know the secret.

![ULNAR DEVIATION! Why Golf is Hard! [Make it easy]](/img/tr.png)
I sir
It’s the most signicative information i have ever got in golf. I’m golf teacher 5 hdcp i follow you since couple of years and i finaly got understood this datum.
Many thankls
Martin Québec city.
Thanks! Play well!
I just found your channel and it makes a lot of sense. I was hit by a drunk driver a year ago and am 58.....this should allow me to get my length back. I've fought a huge slice with my driver all year and lost so much length but I think it's because I've been unconsciously protecting my back and not just letting go. Can't wait to put this into practice. It looks much more natural to me thx
Great Instruction, explanation Thank You!
Great demonstration and explanation 👌
I've put your concepts to work. Actually all you are doing is dumbing it down for me. Lol... I couldn't figure all this out for myself. How a pro can bring the club from the the top down and through the ball. It's taken about 45days of watching your videos going to the course before I now can swing the club without any effort. I laugh at myself when I put pressure on a shot and revert back to the over the top swing. The key for me is I have to trust the swing and swing in a relaxed move. I'm 72 yrs old and shot 79 yesterday. I shot my age a month ago. My handicap is 16. In the process of trusting this swing I have scored 92. I just kept trusting what you have talked about hitting the ball waist high and now it becoming automatic. Thanks again for your insight becoming realized
Mike Knuckles
Great video explanation of why and how keeping trail hand above lead for as long as can helps. Gerry Hogan used to espouse this years ago. Your video is gold.
Real vs feel, after hearing your version it's starting to make sense in the Medulla Oblongata.
that dog with the cone is classic....awesome
Gidget passed away in Feb 23, 2021. I miss her very much.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf So sorry for your loss, when our dog crossed the rainbow bridge it was one of the most emotional times in my life....Still brings tears to my eyes thinking about her, over 3 years ago. Get another pooch, they give so much, can't imagine life without one....I liked all your videos...... you should go to a driving range and offer your help to a hacker, your views would increase, golfers relate to seeing that....
I noticed the dog walk past too. I love dogs and golf instruction.
I have found that swinging the club with very relaxed hands & wrists letting them release outward in the downswing i don't have to even think of body rotation as this just happens very naturally & easily in concert with arms in the downswing & well past impact. This action in itself is creating far more centrifugal speed than you can ever hope to achieve by actively pulling with the hands. I have now completely given away any swing thought of pulling & turning 'fast' nor deliberately with my body & lead arm.
It is making my swing very easy & relaxed but not sloppy. I feel a very Freddie Couples type of motion.
I am only 1xgame into using your swing technique & will let you know of my progress.
The action of doing this i am finding is very natural & 'easy' which is the key & this all happens if you just let the overhand release freewheel & happen...No pulling with the arms to try to falsely create the so called lag which is a ball striking misnomer & destroyer.
Yes, it's amazing how well the golf club actually works when you're using it properly. It's a hammer on a really long stick so you really don't have to force it or swing it hard to make the ball go far. When you get it, you know it. It's like a lightbulb goes off in your brain that says, "Why have I been trying so hard all this time. It's easy!"
I'm happy to hear that I've done another person good! How 'bout a tip?

People pay hundreds for a new driver or irons and hundreds more on DVDs and lessons that do them little or no good. I have truly simplified the swing to the point of almost near ridiculousness and it's transforming people's golf games and only a few nice people have given me a donation.
I don't mean to guilt you into anything. You do what feel is right. My wife keeps saying to me, "Why are you just giving it away for free? You're wasting your time!"
I'd like to prove her wrong.
Play well!
Another great video! Exactly what Malaska says to do with the swinging level feel. Make a video of your favorite and most effective drills.
Who's runnin' the show here, anyway? :)
So you're saying that if I think about swinging level, the weight of the club and shaft flexing will actually bend and hit the ball? Is this with irons and woods?
Holy cow, thank you so much for this tip! I’ve been doing the straightening instead of allowing the club to wear on the glove! Wow, I tried this and now the club is swinging so much faster for me!
Yes, there's quite a difference between truly "swinging" the club and trying to force it to go fast.
YOU ARE HELPING ME SO MUCH!!!!!! THANKYOU!!!!!!
You're welcome. Golf shouldn't be hard.

This is very enlightening. I am one of those guys. I haven’t been wearing my glove for a while but would probably indicate I was over the top.
Really wonderful video and explanation
Actually, I thought it was pretty bad. I had so much to say but by the time I made the video I'd forgotten a bunch of it.
Overhand Golf it helps when what is said is understandable and implementable. Often people say things but they also don’t really say anything understandable. So you just keep doing what you’re doing.
God bless you 🙏
... And also, you.
This is why shaft flex and controlling which way it flexes early is so important, try doing it with something like a broomstick that doesn't flex, to bottom out correctly without hurting your wrists the correct start down is crucial, the incorrect start down (pulling early not dropping and hitting late) will make the stick swing around and over the ball, a flexible shaft likewise can cause the flex to throw the club away from the ball even more than the broomstick if manipulated incorrectly on the way down.
More great stuff!!
Hey great stuff, are u actively holding on to the angles to the holy grail spot? I struggle with casting from the top. I've tried almost everything to let the angel hold naturally with body going first, loose grip etc etc u name it ive tried it..... so are u holding on to shaft and forarm angle actively with contacting forarm extension muscles to holy grail spot then relaxing them to release? Kinds like a pump drill that u see a lot of online.
Gibberish , apologies , trying to say when I used to hit it really far I would wear out glove at heal pad as you described and now hit it high and weakly and no wear on gloves , practicing and believing thank You 🙏
Ah, ok. I thought you were saying somehow this idea was giving you weak high right shot. Glad to hear it's not. Play well.
I have a below knee prosthesis on my left leg (I am right handed) and can’t stop coming over the top. I just saw your videos (all) and will try the swing this week to see if toeing my left foot out more will solve this issue. But I do concede that I’ve been staring my swing w my hands pulling down and then jamming myself so I can’t turn my left hip out of the way thus sometimes falling forward some and guiding the club head with my hands.
I have a left knee replacement and bad lower back. I found I could step back instead of rotating and shift forward to my left leg. Like Happy Gilmore only backwards. I damaged my left knee and back in a fall. The knee has limited movement as the result, similar to your situation I would guess. Keep trying
Mike
My practice swings all look wonderful....and then I chicken wing when the ball is introduced. Argh!!
My chicken wing has resisted countless attempts of getting rid of it. So frustrating. But I'm here, so there's hope. There's always hope.
If you release the club at the place where your hands must rotate......at the Holy Grail spot......let it go! Seriously Let it go! the ball will get in the way you will go through the ball and chicken wing will be just a bad memory.
Did you figure it out yet? With my buddy, we just had him stop taking practice swings all together
Checking my glove...... yes! Worn in the right spot 😂
Or go into UD with the forearm firing UP instead of wrist breaking DOWN. Or use lead hand thumb knuckle for the built in barrier to UD/Flip.
Thanks for keeping the theory vids coming. Question - with radial deviation, isn't the clubface square to target for just 1/16" ? How do you/we use this swing and get the clubface to be square for at least 2" at bottom of arc and not have to place the ball in the exact right spot every time? I think this is why pros get arms ahead and then drag the hands and shaft thru.
This video is for those with OTT and ulnar deviation. It's a "basics" type video for those people who over control the club.
Awesome explanation keep them coming but really, nothing about the dog??
There's always great content in your videos plus always something weird. Today it was the suicidal dog with the cone head, I had to laugh, hope he gets better soon.
She's a 15 y/o yellow lab with cancer. She has a tumor on her head and her eyelid which is why she's wearing the cone. Surprisingly, my wife's been giving her Benadryl and the tumors have almost disappeared.
Overhand Golf interesting why the idea of Benadryl?
@@spondiveswandive561 My wife's friend is a vet tech and said they give dogs with cancer Benadryl so we figured we'd try it since she's too old for surgery and surprisingly it's working. The lesion on her head looked like her brain was hanging out. It was the diameter of a golf ball and bloody and gross and now it's just a flat scab.
Overhand Golf see I find that very interesting in that why don’t we do that with humans with cancer
@@spondiveswandive561 I was wondering the same. Maybe because it's too cheap. They don't want you to die with money in the bank.
I forgot about this Bob Mann has that wrist stipulation in his teaching. I never remember to try it on range. I saw it after I left club membership
Always enjoy watching your vids. I bet you can bomb them down the channel.
I'm 55 and I have a slipped disc from a car accident, so not quite as far as I'd like but far enough. I hit between 275 and 300 most of the time. Although, I don't know why but sometimes my first few drives seem to go farther. I get home on most par 5s.
Good stuff! Why do you put a towel on the grip?
Friction on his hand he's doing a lot of swings in the demonstration that's why people wear a glove
@@Zemu8 uhm....so why would he just not wear a glove??
I guess he didn't have one around
Good vid real vs feel
I am terrible about going over the top and I wear out the pointer finger usually. But I am getting better.
What is the training aid you are swinging with the bent shaft
Watching this I took my interpretation of it to the range tonight. Tell me if I am wrong. Take club back, trail hand always above lead hand, rotate and try to keep trail hand above lead hand through swing( obviously you can't)
But It was an incredibly pure strike, and with great trajectory... Would love your thoughts on this, thanks!
Yes! That's exactly what should happen! Once you get used to this type of swing then you can really go after it and kill it. Although, you'll find a saturation point where more power is actually worse and you'll have to back it off a bit.
Isn't the trail hand always above the left hand?
@@louispounds7486 Not if you ulnar deviate.
Please explain what you mean by “trail hand always above lead hand” or show it close up in slow motion
Mike malaska seems to have a similar opinion on how to feel this just explained differently 👍
I think any good teacher is actually trying to teach this, they just haven't figured out a good way to explain it. I'm not advocating a new way to swing or hit a golf ball, I've just figured out a simply way to explain and demonstrate it.
Ulnar deviation, that is my swing, I am so focused on returning the club face to the ball that I lock everything up. You have a fluid swing mine is robotic.
Watch the Holy Grail of Golf playlist.
I used to wear palm out. New glove every two weeks now last for months. No wear , was a. Baseball , softball with Home run power n big Drives now weak n high right!!
I'm confused. Can you elaborate, please.
Would you please explain how keeping the right hand above the left and not ulnar deviating squares with your lesson about being "underneath the club". When I try to keep the right hand above the left on the downswing (and not ulnar deviate), then I feel like I am above the club and not underneath it. When I try to feel like I am "underneath the club" during the downswing, then I feel like I am completely ulnar deviating! What do you think I am missing. Appreciate any thoughts or drills you can give.
Very good point! They do seem contradictory. The thing with the right over left thing also has to do with perception. It's from the player's POV not the level ground. We just don't want to ulnar deviate purposely which is what people do when they're pointing the club downward. I should probably just take down the right over left videos to avoid that confusion. Thanks for letting me know.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Thanks for your quick response. The right over left video does make a good point and for me at least helps me see/feel how the wrists/hands should be releasing through impact. Maybe the way that these two notions (right hand over left and being underneath the club) jive is that by being underneath the club at the beginning of the downswing, we get the club started down on the right path (and like you said, you only need a little bit of this feeling of being underneath the club) but then as you continue with the downswing your focus is releasing the club properly which keeps the right hand over the left through impact and into the finish. Does this sound correct?
@@MJB7322 I think so. One thing I don't want to do is put out contradictory advice. Golf magazines make their living that way and it took me years to realize it. I didn't get good until I refused to look at a golf magazines. Every month I was trying to cure what they gave me the month prior.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Last question if you don't mind... so would you say that it is more important to concentrate/focus on the idea of being underneath the club then it is on trying to keep the right hand over the left in the downswing. Personally, I think the idea of being underneath the club could be a game changer is I continue to practice it.
@@MJB7322 Yes, absolutely. Forget about the right over left for now.
So we only have control over the grip, stance, backswing and the first half of the downswing (the holy grail). All the rest happens so fast we have no control over it, except possibly for maintaining momentum through the ball. Is that about right?
Yeah, that's pretty good. If you think about trying to redirect a baseball bat after you're 3/4 of the way through the swing it's pretty much impossible because it's already on it's way which you sent it when you thought the ball would here or there. Luckily, the golf ball doesn't move so we can be sure that as long as we start properly the bat will meet the ball.
I came to a similar conclusion on my own. I was swinging the ball best when I "dropped my set backswing" and was coming through the ball nicely. But with your teaching I have learned more of what I was doing. Plus the concept of dropping the middle of the shaft on plane and perpendicular is illuminating. Can you do an analysis of Moe Normanz swing?
Can you talk about or do a video on wrist release. I feel my wrists are too tight to allow the club to release and excelerate properly
Yes. I need to make a follow up to this video. I'd forgotten to talk about some of the most important parts. Stay tuned.
Overhand Golf
Absolutely. Will be looking forward to it. Really appreciate all your videos. Always enlightening. Thanks
@@HolyGrailOfGolf please hurry with the video!! 🙏🙏👍👍
i've always thought that if i had a good grip and made a decent swing the club would essentially turn over and release correctly because of the arms swinging past the body. the problem is doing it well a lot of the time and not force the action.
Yes, the minute you take over control the natural timing is gone and unless you know exactly now the natural timing works ... well, then you've got it wrong. What most people do is manually close the club way too early thinking that will prevent the ball from going right. What actually happens is after they've closed the face, they apply force to the handle which causes the face to open through impact because the toe was in front of the shaft instead of trailing and catching up. Like getting the cart in front of the horse. I recently discovered this video ua-cam.com/video/PyeDPyfex9M/v-deo.html where a person describes, and gives a name to, the phenomena of the naturally closing clubface.
The interesting thing is that it's literally impossible to swing the club through impact while leaving the face wide open. People who slice believe with all their heart that this will happen unless they prevent it, which actually causes their problems in the first place. I tell these people to try and hit the ball dead right, their biggest fear, with the face wide open. To their amazement they can't do it. The ball goes straight and they tried to hold the face open! The only way to convince them is to have them prove themselves wrong.
When i loosen my wrists like a noodle, i end up with big misses to the right and left. I've found that going with a DJ-esque strong grip and flexed left wrist at the top, so I can have a closed face at the top, then just rotate through and hold off the release. Haven't lost any distance
If that works for you. We just want to play good golf.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf swing your swing is the name of the game!
@@IsaacMartin5438 I thought you were saying that you didn't like my method and were doing something else. Either way, I'm just glad more people are playing golf well and having fun at it.
Overhand Golf--if one watches Tommy Fleetwood warming up, (and it is unclear to me exactly why HE as top professional does it), but he swings around his body from about 3/4 backswing until follow through, all the way with extreme radial deviation. I suspect he is trying to keep some arm/body connection. But if you do this, not only do you get that connection, but rotating your body and your connected arms as fast as you can, loose supple wrists, that as you approach your arms swinging directly in front of you, that your wrists NATURALLY ULNAR DEVIATE. Combines a few elements of connection and speed and training wrists to be "loose".
What are some ways to practice the non-ulnar deviation?
I’ve been applying these ideas in my swing at the range and it definitely makes way more sense to me now, but I struggle to know where my mistakes are coming from when they happen. Do you ever do live lessons, or video swing analysis?
Yes. Email me at OverhandGolf@usa.com
My feet are consistently aimed 30-40 yards right of my target.A habit I just can't break.Does this possibly cause swing problems?
Absolutely yes! What you're doing is artificially moving your right hip out of your way. If you were to aim straight, if you still have the problem that caused this, you'll find that your right hip gets in your way or partially in your way. What you need to do is hit a bunch of balls straight forward with your stance 45º open. This will teach you how to properly move the pelvis out of the way so that when you stand square you can do it. Another problem this causes is that when you take the club away, most likely you'll take it away parallel to your stance which will be way too far inside. From there, when you get to the top you know if you swing at it the way you took it back it's going dead right so you have to alter the path of the club into the ball to attempt to direct it toward the target and you've got a classic over the top motion. Finally, you've probably also had a lot of problems with direction so you're afraid to let the face close naturally fearing a hook or pull and so you probably hit weak high right shots. Am I right?
One more thing. You know you're going to need the front foot to leverage yourself against so you're putting that out ahead in order to do so, but most likely you actually don't and end up hitting off the back foot and front foot ends up spinning out.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Thanks for that feedback. I do hit off my back foot for sure.Something I'm doing to try and correct it without hitting balls is just putting a ball on the ground and picking a target.Because I naturally feel square with feet being so closed I pick a different target that is about 30 yards left of the actual target.I position my feet for that target and when I look at the actual target it feels incredibly open.To my amazement when I put the shaft down on my toe line I am dead square to the target!
I haven't tried it hitting balls yet but plan to very soon.Just working on it outdoors,picking targets,etc.
@@Grayback1973 Watch ua-cam.com/video/BF4P7RL3eM0/v-deo.html
It should explain how to hit off the front foot. Golf does not work the way most people think it does.
Is there chance that your head is tilted and that's giving you the illusion of aiming correctly?
Oh, try this: It's what the S. Korean golfers do:
1. Pick a spot a few feet in front of your ball between your ball and the target. This is now your target or aim point.
2. Take your address parallel to the line between your ball and the aim point. Do not point your stance at the aim point.
3. DO NOT RAISES YOUR HEAD AND TILT IT LEVEL TO LOOK AT THE TARGET, but rather look at it sideways, with your head tilted. Just turn your head, don't' turn and tilt.
(It'll feel weird at first but when we desire to look at the target with our eyes level with the horizon it makes us want to stand up straight. The same goes for putting!)
4. Take one look at the target then never look at it again. You're aimed properly and you have the proper club. Why do you need to keep checking?
If you had a mechanical golfing machine you'd aim it at the target, load it with the proper club and pull the trigger. You're no different.
About 5 mins in you mention about speed possibly (at least) doubling. What sort of speeds are we talking about in your demonstration?
It doesn't matter, really. We all just move as fast as we are able, but moving properly will allow you to move faster and more efficiently.
Interesting.......about your final thought about feeling you are swinging level and above the ball. Won't you miss the ball???!!!! Could you please elaborate.
No, because you set up to the ball at address and that's just before the low point of the swing arc. You just don't want to feel like you're swinging in a U shape but rather on a flat level plane in relation to your spine angle.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf A video illustrating swinging "level" would be very helpful. Thanks.
Right handed golfer. I tend to blow out the tip of my glove thumb finger? What do you think causes that?
Does it just blow out or wear out?
@@HolyGrailOfGolf blow out
@@luisjuarez1200 In that case I would say it's just too small. Does that make sense? If you have video of your swing I'd like to see it. Also a picture of the glove. OverhandGolf@usa.com
What is the proper distance?
Overhand. Can you explain a late hit? Normally spoken the club and arm straighten out at the lowest point and not behind impact. Pro's do this after impact. How than?
If you use the holy grail you'll be doing that too. It's caused by the dual lever action and the fact that cannot telescope or collapse lengthwise.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf A trebuchet let loose the projectile at the highest point. The same principle works at the golfswing. So how can you change this principle than?
@@leoambtman6216 I'm a bit confused. Do you really need the answer to this or are you just asking out of curiosity? It it's the latter, I think it's better left as a mystery. Like parts of the golf swing when they're working well ... it's best not to question it.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Sorry to have asked. I appriciate your techical knowledge, but sometime these things has to stay a mysterie I presume.
@@leoambtman6216 I think that's part of the problem with golf and adults. We want to understand every little bit of it as if we have to in order for it to work. Look at a child who couldn't care less about swing plane, weight shift or ulnar deviation and they swing beautifully. So, instead of wondering why something good happens, let's just let it happen. When you get really good you aren't even thinking about the swing. You're only thinking, which way and how far. You'd never question how to balance while riding a bike, you just do it.
I’m getting some ok results, but my best shots are a pull cut or a push cut(high right and floaty). How can I fix this??
I haven't seen your swing but it sounds to me like you're still swinging toward the target. Both those things happen because of that. If you truly swing downward toward 7:15, although it feels like the ball will go dead right, it won't. When you get it, you'll know. The ball will explode off the clubface and fly straight.
Taking this to the range tomorrow. I've become acutely aware of my right wrist in my swing, almost to the point where I HAVE to cast to square. It's killing me off the tee. I'll let you know how I get along.
How did it go at the range?
@@louispounds7486 once I got used to letting the club work instead of my wrists, I noticed much better strike consistency. Actually played a decent round Sunday just by focusing on turning that right wrist "off". Very happy with the results.
@@GripJenkins so you literally did "nothing" but swing the club slightly above the ball and gravity (shaft bending) does the rest?
Does work for every club too?
@@louispounds7486 Ish. I still fight the impulse to hit the ball. It'll take a few more range sessions before I trust the laws of gravity. Alas, I am but a man. On film though, that nasty cast and flip is creeping away.
@@GripJenkins congrats!! I must do it correctly on accident every 30 swings which is when I hit a bomb. So based on your perceptions, what should I try to do next range session tomorrow?
This sounds a lot like What Joe Nichols talk Mike Malaska many years ago.
I just wonder why we think club and body position is so important after club contacts the ball,time after time I see pros turn loose of the club after impact and the ball flies straight and long and true. HECK even I have done it a few times.
Are you using a tennis ball. Tks
It's a nerf baseball. If you're going to make one of these definitely use a soft ball. This thing has hit me in the eye and it's not fun.
How do you think about brook Henderson swing , look like she has holly grail characters in her swing.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. She goes after it. The strange thing about golf is that you can see anything you want to in almost anyone's swing. Everyone who hit the ball great, like Brook, has at some point learned to swing the club in the proper direction, which is not toward the target. Most people just kinda pack that away in their brain and don't think about it, but they know to do it. Children figure this out within minutes because they don't care where the ball goes they only want to hit it. You should be able to see the HG swing in every good ball striker. All except Jim Fuyrk, I think. Jim has somehow figured out how to actually swing toward the target and make it work ... but look what he had to do, to make that work.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf thanks for your reply, holly grail swing really make everything in the hitting zone happen by itself.

Overhand Golf Great. Thanks.
Major hooks with this swing
Same with me. This is basically L to L. How do we hit it straight with this? I would love to stop the 'hold and drag' swing thought and just rip away.
Did "Hooks" get promoted to Major? The last I heard "Hooks" was a Captain.
@@tomsettles6873 For me, it straightens when I make the target the target. Whenever I am too ball focused I hook or even pull hook.
This guy reminds me of the coach version of Mark Mcgwire
could you please made these with the real golf ball, really curious to see it impact and the way ball will fly with these
The ball is at head height. Or eye height. Never down at our feet.
Please explain that!! Need help conceptually
@@louispounds7486 so if you were to tee up a ball like in baseball the juniors would hit off the little poles and the ball is tee'd up for them at chest/hip height. If you can imagine that your golf ball is also tee'd up around your shoulder level / eye level then it would help a lot, reason being, is if you can precept the ball being at eye / shoulder level, the DOWN vanishes, and theoretically you shouldn't be putting any force down.. you're not going after something on the ground, because in your mind you're perceiving it as if it was higher up. You have to set-up and stare at the ball and slightly tilt your head up. once you perceive the ball higher, your back swing can only be one way, because in reality if it's tee'd up at your shoulder level the backswing is predetermined, not a single soul would take it back any other way.
it's all about perceiving it differently. You'll be surprised on if you don't add/think/try to get the club head DOWN to a ball on the ground, it'll happen naturally due to our forward bend in set-up and relationship to the ball..
granted, if that relationship remains consistent from address to backswing.
and it absolutely will because of that perception.
@@teddythodo3302 makes sense, thanks for sharing. My head is So full of swing thoughts all the time and it will be a challenge for me to try to remember to do that but I'll certainly try it!!
@@teddythodo3302 great thinking, it actually helpful. It make the set up and backswing taking care of itself and you would not hit it over the top.
Yes this is me. My glove wears out in the fingers.

Dog looks ashamed as it walks by...
Unfortunately, Gidget passed away earlier this year. She was almost 16 years old. She was a good dog. I miss her very much.
👍👌😁
What is the holy grail spot?
Hopefully you've found the other videos by now I don't really need to answer this question. If not, have a look at the HGn playlist.
Why the towel on your grip?
Old grip and sweaty hands. Plus it's comfortable.
Thanks
So try to keep the wrists loose, loose grip, and don't aim to hit the ball and it just happens?
Watch the rest of the Holy Grail videos and you'll understand better, but it's close. You're way more coordinated than you think. Have you ever hit a golf shot that was absolutely fantastic and then you realized you weren't thinking and have no idea what you did? I teach that.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf yup, I've done it a few times and of course spend the rest of my round trying to recreate w.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf I watched the holy Grail video about three times now and I'm not quite sure of the intensity with which I should go after the downswing is it essentially both hands as fast as I possibly can on that angle thinking of completing the swing into a finish and at some point the wrists will naturally release?
@@louispounds7486 After you get used to it, it'll feel so natural you won't believe it. You won't believe you could ever swing any other way.
@@louispounds7486 Martin Ayres has a video about this phenomena. He calls it "Attempting to Xerox" a swing. It's very interesting.
So what’s ulnar deviation? You never explained . Someone tell me
It's a straightening of the wrist. The same action you use when you toss something or throw a dart.
Please introduce your dog.
That's Gidget. She's almost 16 now and aging quickly. Ever since her pyometra / emergency hysterectomy she's aging so fast. She also has cancer. She's happy though! She's a wonderful dog.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Thank you. Reminds me of our dog, Sadie. We lost her to cancer two years ago. She was 12.
thumb is corrrct thats me
Okay, I gotta ask: what's up with the dog?
She's a 15 year old Yellow Lab with cancer. She had a lesion or tumor on her head above her eye so that's what the cone was all about. She's gotten a lot better from giving her Benadryl, surprisingly enough. The tumor is just a scab now.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Thanks for the info. I'm glad she's better. I tried your method today for practice and it really is understandable instruction and it works!
@@danagordon8871 I don't know you from Palm Springs in the 80s do I?
No, I don't think so. Back then I was attending Prairie View University in Texas; after which I got married and had kids. By the way, I'm a guy (just in case the name threw you).
@@danagordon8871 There was a guy who was a friend of some friends with your name and he was supper funny and nice. I thought it might be you.
2 observations and 1 question. You’re a great batting coach. You’re a lousy gardener. Does the dog wear head gear because you’re a great batting coach?
Hey, I resemble that remark! See that stupid observation deck over the fence and to the left? Yeah, our neighbor just built that ... ILLEGALLY. Then he ripped out all the trees on his side of the fence. Now he's got a perfect view into our backyard. So, we ripped out our bushes and we're going to plant trees. That's why the landscaping looks so crappy. We haven't decided what type of tree to put in.
The dog is 15 and has cancer. She had a growth on her head that the cone prevented her from making worse. Oddly, Benadryl slowly shrunk the tumor and now it's just a scab. I didn't know cancer could get better.
Your physics is incorrect small gears produce less speed then big gears. Hence why all long drivers have huge radius golfswings. More leverage in longer and wider . Fact
