OMG, This video was very helpful, I just started working on the bowed wrist and couldn't figure out why I was so closed. It was because of my strong grip. I've been playing golf for 25 years and this is one of the most repeatable swings i've had. Thanks for making it simple.
Awesome! I’m glad the video really helped! Absolutely, a standard or weak grip is the way to go with a bowed left wrist 🤙🏻 When everything is matched up, it works extremely well! Thanks for watching Marcel!
I've been working on this move with my instructor. I have always had a very strong grip and had problems with casting and hitting the ball left. It is counterintuitive, but I'm hitting the ball straight with the bowed wrist because it makes it impossible to flip. It also helps keeps you in posture. Not sure why. Only draw back so far is left wrist is a little sore. This chowngolf guy is fantastic. Huge fan.
I always had trouble hitting my long irons. I am completely amazed how easy this is to do and how pure I hit my long irons now by bowing the wrist. I had no idea. Wow. Thank you !!!
Between this and one of your short backswing videos, I may not quit golf after 40 years of playing. I’ve struggled with early extension for 5-6 years now and have been at my wit’s end. Took this to the range this morning and was able to hit good shots. Hoping this sticks. Thank you!
As a one handicapper I’m always trying to alter things for consistent ball striking - bowing the wrist is and has been a game changer for my game - you must still rotate ur body but the distance I’ve gained with bowing the wrist is about 20yds per club - v good drill with the tee in the glove 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just found this video after my round on Sunday.. One of my playing partners noticed on one of my practice swings that my wrist was bowed the wrong way... He showed me this Bowing and on the next tee shot (I know, the course is not where I should work on this) I tried it and hit the ball dead straight where I was fadeing/slicing everything. Had to search UA-cam to make sure he knew what he was talking about, and after watching this video, I know I'm on the right track. Just subbed, and will be watching the rest of your videos tomorrow
Was at the range yesterday and did this and I was amazed at how well I hit every club doing this! Then I see your video today and that just reinforces it with me. Great video and content here!
Hitting in the net after watching your video and the swing felt good. I will give it a go tomorrow and see how it works on full shots with the wedges. Thank you for you videos.
This is how I started golf teaching myself from hogan’s book (all that wrist supination to target at impact stuff). Strengthening my grip got me easier compression and distance but at the expense of good body movement. Now I’m in single figures and all I want is to get back to neutral grip bowing so I can have fewer hooks. When I do that I get rotation shallowing bent right arm impact and all the good stuff - but just can’t stop leaving the club face too open. Will try this and hopefully be able to get back to the original swing. Cheers chap!
Good Day from Chicago. I just discovered your channel today and your content focuses on exactly what my swing needs (I struggle to hit a drive that doesn't slice). 'Implemented the bowed wrist last season, it worked well, and then I forgot about it. I look forward to learning more of your useful tips. Many thanks.
Have to be honest never seen or heard of you before. But glad I have now because have watched your videos and they are awesome. I have tried this at the weekend and can honestly say my ball striking has improved beyond my wildest dreams. I am compressing the ball hitting longer and straighter amazing feeling I am getting . This a game changer. Keep them coming and look forward to some short game tuition. Thanks your a star
Dustin definitely has a strong grip along with his bowed wrist, but he’s the exception to the rule. His body, flexibility, and athleticism is one of a kind
I used to have a 115 mph swing, but had a bad left miss. started doing this, club speed is way down and inconsistent now. but have much better ball flights, and now miss right if I miss.
@@jchowngolf Just got back from the range. I've never hit such piercing, boring shots in my life. The key was the weaker grip at setup. I've tried to bow my left wrist in transition many times, but I always duck hooked the ball. The weaker grip (and higher hands in backswing), gave me room to bow the wrist in transition. I've never rotated this much in the downswing either. Thank you!
Awesome stuff Sean! Absolutely, grip and wrist angles are all about matching up the correct pieces together. Great to hear it’s made such a difference! 🔥
I started practising using a bowed wrist during the lockdowns forced on us by covid 19 It worked well gave me back the distance I'd lost with my irons and the ball turf contact .I couldn't wait for the course to open and start playing unfortunately when I did I just couldn't get the results I'd been getting and haven't been able to figure out why ....???
I thought I had my swing down because I was doing this naturally. One day I stopped doing it I think so hopefully next time I go to the range this helps!
I have a very long backswing (and I tend to come in steep over the top) and am trying to shorten it since I think it will help produce more consistent ball striking. Will bowing the left wrist help me with this? I feel like my backswing will be farther behind my head and give me a more shallow attack angle. Thoughts?
Depends. I always struggled with what I thought was an over swing but the real problem was I was cupping my left wrist too much causing me to be long and across the line almost like Wolff. I was able to reroute and be effective but suffered as I tried to shorted the swing. It really wasn't a matter or being too long but the cupped wrist, so as I tried to shorted, it was a disaster, stuck in no mans land. I started tinkering with the wrist a few years ago and for me was a eureka moment as this both shortened my swing and got me on a better plane at the top.
I just started using this technique a couple of days ago, and I'm amazed at how well it works to produce strong, controlled impact. I'm currently experimenting with not holding the bow all the way to impact. I feel like there's a point in the downswing where the momentum of the club wants me to let loose, and this seems to be working amazingly well. My intuition is that if I were to hold the bow all the way through impact, I would be losing power, because I'm interfering with my wrists and the flow of the club around the circle. But I will experiment more with holding it all the way, and see which really is better for me.
I have been playing for years and bowing the wrist really has been the game changer for me. I am surprised left wrist flection isn't a more widely talked about function in golf instruction. I guess it's harder to understand the movement if you are a higher handicap player who needs to work on overall action and body rotation etc first. Good video mate.
Great to hear it’s helped your game! Absolutely, it’s still not a common theme in golf instruction yet surprisingly. In the coming years it will be as common as different grip types 🤙🏻 Cheers mate
really struggling with slicing driver I play of 10- read this b4 a comp yesterday- tried bowed left wrist and whilst not 100% successful only 1 big slice but about 50% dead straight and 20 yards +. Bear in mind I had not had chance to practise grip. may not work for everyone but seems to for me.
When you say stronger grip you mean lead hand? I have a neutral lead hand but slightly stronger trail hand and I love bowing my wrist, especially in punch shots and when accuracy is important
Just subscribed because you are showing alot of things I am trying to work on. especially the bowed left wrist. But amazingly enough, I still have a decent slice/fade going. Would that be because to a 'too strong' grip and my body subconsciously knowing I would pull it?
Thanks bud! Make sure you’re also working on neutralising your swing path along with working on your club face, as a slice is a path+club face issue 👍🏼
DJ matches it up with a massive amount of rotation and speed. Not achievable for 99.9% of the golf population. Morikawa, Spieth and Rahm are players to watch with a bowed lead wrist that’s more achievable for golfers.
Make sure you’re matching your grip with your bowed wrist. Standard/weak are the only options to make the bowed lead wrist function. Then it’s all a case of rotation once the wrist angle is achieved 👍🏼
Lots of trouble hitting my wedges high and slightly right of target. I'm thinking this swing thought will produce much better results. Thanks for posting all your videos Mate. Carl from New Jersey...
First off you talk too fast! Hard to understand exactly what you are saying. Second, not everyone is right-handed. Some of us Lefties would like you to use the front wrist and trail wrist! Or front leg and trail leg! That would help us understand you better! Thanks! I think you have good information, but you need to be more universal! Thanks
Using that “tee drill”…can you do that during a round? Would it be considered normal to keep a tee there all the time or would one be called out for cheating? Could one say “I always keep a tee there”?
There's actually ONE player that uses a strong grip, AND a bowed left wrist. Dustin Johnson. Do not try this though... It takes a tremendous amount of side bend, rotation, and flexibility. He's THE ONLY exception to the what he said in this video. Freak!!! lol
Lots of rotation creating tons of shaft lean to neutralise the face. The average would never be able to get rotate enough or possess enough speed to replicate DJ
Everything for me THIS YEAR is left, left, left, and I can see the face closed on set up some of the time. Trying to work with different variation of my grip but it always seems to hit left.
What happens if the hands are passive doing nothing to close face thru impact. If you have a weak grip (ball would start right normally) you can still close the face if your hands are over active. Try quieting the hands.
Used a standard grip and ripped every hybrid shot with this technique. Thanks.
I start bowing on the downswing, not backswing.

It really makes a massive difference! Especially if it matches your grip! Thanks Steve, I appreciate the support 👍🏼
I’ve really been struggling with pushing shots, I’m gonna try this drill tomorrow at the range. Hopefully this can help.
Hitting in the net after watching your video and the swing felt good. I will give it a go tomorrow and see how
it works on full shots with the wedges. Thank you for you videos.
Awesome to hear Ray! It’s an awesome move to implement 🤙🏻

Absolutely, I find a standard grip with some bow in the lead wrist an easier move for most golfers 👍🏼
After emphasing the bowed wrist i hook the ball or the ball goes left and draws left

Awesome to hear you’ve found my channel! Great to hear Phillip! Keep up the good ball striking 🤙🏻
Excellent idea! It's a new age golf swing evolution!
Dustin definitely has a strong grip along with his bowed wrist, but he’s the exception to the rule. His body, flexibility, and athleticism is one of a kind
His hips open a crap ton to make up for it!
I have been struggling very badly with a right miss. Giving this a try tomorrow at the range!
Like this idea with the tee. Been playing around with bowed wrists and seeing benefits, it’ll be good to get the feedback from the tee 👌 thanks
Absolutely, it’s a great feedback drill 🤙🏻 Glad you enjoyed the video Ian 🔥
Tee/ Glove. What a simple, brilliant tip.
I used to have a 115 mph swing, but had a bad left miss. started doing this, club speed is way down and inconsistent now. but have much better ball flights, and now miss right if I miss.
Headed to the range to try this drill. Excited about it and will report back!
Awesome 🔥

Bowing my wrist solved so many issues for me, plus it looks sweet
Tips for holding the angle on the way down?? Also, what would the release look like??

Reason this is not widely taught by golf pro teachers is because they need you to come back for lessons forever.
Dj has a very strong grip and is able to bow his wrist, should I try a weaker grip with this or should it be my natural strong grip?
really struggling with slicing driver I play of 10- read this b4 a comp yesterday- tried bowed left wrist and whilst not 100% successful only 1 big slice but about 50% dead straight and 20 yards +. Bear in mind I had not had chance to practise grip. may not work for everyone but seems to for me.

Tried this today and I was hearing sounds from my driver I never hear,sweet spot sounds 😁

Thanks bud! Make sure you’re also working on neutralising your swing path along with working on your club face, as a slice is a path+club face issue 👍🏼
Nicely done sir.
I’ve been working on keeping my wrist bowed but now I’m not extending enough in the back swing, any tips?
is this just for Irons ?
When I try bow my wrists, I feel like my left hand grip comes loose. Anything for this?
Why does a strong grip work for Dustin Johnson if he bows too?
Lots and lots of fast rotation to square the strong face
I get pain at impact when I bow my left wrist. Guess I'm stuck with flipping
I think some of the tour players have a strong grip and now their wrist. DJ, Koepka
DJ does indeed! Having a strong lead hand with bowing the left wrist works great for DJ, but will be incredibly difficult for us mere mortals haha!
That mat has seen better days.
Certainly has 😅
your comment about strong grips and bowing the wrist is incorrect. DJ has a very strong grip and has a more bowed wrist than anyone else....
DJ matches it up with a massive amount of rotation and speed. Not achievable for 99.9% of the golf population. Morikawa, Spieth and Rahm are players to watch with a bowed lead wrist that’s more achievable for golfers.
😁👍
Thanks bud 👍🏼
This move made my game way worse
Make sure you’re matching your grip with your bowed wrist. Standard/weak are the only options to make the bowed lead wrist function. Then it’s all a case of rotation once the wrist angle is achieved 👍🏼
Your grip is probably too strong.
The strong psychiatrist lamentably encourage because discovery ecologically whisper absent a colossal gate. useful, magenta jewel
Talk too much …
Lots of trouble hitting my wedges high and slightly right of target. I'm thinking this swing thought will produce much better results. Thanks for posting all your videos Mate. Carl from New Jersey...
Absolutely, certainly sounds like a club face issue. Bowing the lead wrist will help 🤙🏻 Cheers Carl!
Lots of top players have this bow. I have a short backswing so I'm going to add the piece of the puzzle. Thanks for the great video ☺️
First off you talk too fast! Hard to understand exactly what you are saying. Second, not everyone is right-handed. Some of us Lefties would like you to use the front wrist and trail wrist!

Unfortunately you have to be very flexible in the wrist and hands to do this. Not everybody's like Dustin Johnson
Trying to get comfortable with the release of the bow on the follow thru
Does this also apply to the driver?
There's actually ONE player that uses a strong grip, AND a bowed left wrist. Dustin Johnson. Do not try this though... It takes a tremendous amount of side bend, rotation, and flexibility. He's THE ONLY exception to the what he said in this video. Freak!!! lol
I tried bowing my wrist half way backswing and boy, result is a crisp and much longer distance.
Yep turned my slice into a snap hook. Really changed it
Do you bow early on takeaway or on top?
DJ has a strong grip, yet fully utilized the wrist bow action. How does he compensate? Why do you say it’s a must to have a neutral/weak grip? Cheers
Lots of rotation creating tons of shaft lean to neutralise the face. The average would never be able to get rotate enough or possess enough speed to replicate DJ
Everything for me THIS YEAR is left, left, left, and I can see the face closed on set up some of the time. Trying to work with different variation of my grip but it always seems to hit left.
What happens if the hands are passive doing nothing to close face thru impact. If you have a weak grip (ball would start right normally) you can still close the face if your hands are over active. Try quieting the hands.
This seems like an injury in the making
Through putting your left wrist into flexion which is a natural range of motion of the wrist joint?
irons are going left of target using the bowed wrist not that simple
Match up the bow with the appropriate grip type. Go for standard or slightly weak 👍🏼
