JKM is fantastic. I love watching his videos and wish I could play more golf. He makes the instruction so simple but still very effective. Keep up the good work.
I had a lesson from one of the pros at my local driving range. He had me do exactly what this video is all about, and I nit the ball so great for a while. I "lost" the feel and tinkered with my swing...but now I will go back to it because I have your video to refer back to. I hit great iron shots with a wonderful draw.
The difference I see here vrs. other instructors is that he has you maintain the wrist angles after impact and into the follow through. Other teachers have the left wrist cup/ right wrist straighten during the follow through.
Not long ago I asked Jack if he preferred to address the ball with the clubface open, square or closed. Jack looked at me with that piercing stare: "I've never seen a really good player set it square or closed at address," he said. Then he explained that because you generally set the club so the face is one-quarter inch or so behind the ball, it needs to be slightly open to the target line at that point. If it looked square and you didn't manipulate it during the swing, when the club returned to impact it would be slightly closed, causing a hook. Setting the clubface slightly open at address allows you to: • Release the club fully without fear of hooking. • Swing the club naturally with relaxed arms for maximum clubhead speed-and therefore more distance. • Develop better feel for how the club is aligned as it swings through impact. Jack got this from the best….Ben Hogan.
Dude this video is for me. This is my biggest issue. Tha k you Jonathan I appreciate these great video. Thank you. Oh maybe one on tempo on sholder and arm speed. I feel loke some time my arms beat my hips and shoulder. Any great drill would help with that thank you again
So here is my question, If I do a bicep curl then rotate, Right elbow remains in front, then uncurl while back is to the target to start the downswing. In doing this along with keeping the right palm facing away will automatically square the clubface in the downswing.
I don't know if you will see this and I understand the reason why I slice but is there a way someone could send a video in to you somehow; I try to "close" my club face and to make sure on my back-swing it is more downward but I am Slicing and that I try to have my right shoulder slightly more down so I can get "under" a tad more. Also, my left elbow bends just a tad; I believe this is normal, as my right arm (as you mentioned in a previous video and ones I have seen) the right-arm is almost at about 90 degrees.
If you want to hit weak blocks to the right then do that! OR if that is a FEEL you need based on your tendencies to get you doing the movement correctly
I have never rolled my forearms as you describe and yes I hit a lot of pushes and slices. Just tried it standing up and for the first time I was able to hold the wrist positions correctly. I have always tried to use body rotation to square the clubface with inconsistent results. I haven't played golf for 7 months as i am thinking of given it away. If this forearm roll doesn't work for me, then I guess i'm cooked.
Jonathan just gets it. His videos are so good. He has taken my game to the next level this past year by simply watching and listening to his simple way of explaining the golf swing.
I have been radial deviating my wrists forever and would roll the club at impact. If my timing was on, better scores, but most of the time would hit it out to the right or galloping hook. This is a very important concept that is not talked about enough. Waiter holding the tray with the right hand at the top of the back swing is another visual/ feel that might help. Great information Jonathon as always.
I get my face closed/squared-up by keeping my weight from sliding left too much. The way I keep my weight from sliding is by reducing the effort in the downswing - I just let the club come down essentially, and I get distance by the amount of backswing and good solid contact. Pretty simple.
Been trying to nail this for 12 months, watched your video today and was able to follow and implement straight away.. What you said, the way it was shown just made sense .. Ive been cat 1 and still struggling with rotating and opening the club face so this has really helped Johnathan.. many thanks, Phil
How does this video relate to your video on “releasing the club” where you talk about the “L to L Drill”, getting the club head to move faster than the handle, and getting more radial deviation post impact? These seem a little contradictory. Great videos. Thank you
Having trouble hitting my long irons, 2, 3 and the 4 sometimes. I was told that without a lot of swing speed, they are difficult to hit. I assume you still recommend 55% weight on the lead side on all irons? And ideas or should I consider hybrids?
Thank you for such a great drill. Love your videos, but have not seen some exercise on maintaining your body muscles. Do you have some explicit workout exercises? Keep up the good work and stay healthy.
Never a wasted moment. Clear instructions and good drills carefully explained. I wouldnt hesitate to take lessons from him but Singapore is a long way fr Vancouver.
I went to a Golf Tec and my coach never explained it to me this way nor went through a drill like this. He always had me doing full swings. Felt like I wasted a lot of money there.
@@alfonz7863 - I don't want to hit slices. I stopped slicing golf balls 40 years ago. I want to able to hit a fade rather draw everything which is what I do.
I was out on the range practicing this today while wife was doing leave it actually made me focus a lot more on what my lead wrist was doing at impact and post impact
This shit is critical. I’ve never heard anyone explain closing the clubface like that. The down the line angle of the ipad turning really made it clear

Very concise and precise instruction!!!
I have a feeling that JKS is going places or golfers- amateurs and Pros would be seeking his instructions.
Thank you for this. It has changed my golf swing completely. You’re a superstar! 👍👍

Only found your channel today and love it, so clear and precise. Thanks Jonathon, keep it coming :)
Great videos JKM. Not over talked and not complicated. Thumbs up for sure.
You're a good Coach, Jonathan. Thank you for putting out great content for us.
Just discovered this young man, absolutely incredible. Grateful, stay safe
Very simple but so efective. Good instructor.
all your videos have ton of info. great work you're doing. TYVM
This movement/drill is fantastic, not a lot of videos on this, thanks!
Thank you so much for this video bro I could never figure out to close the face till I saw this video!!
Thank you, great for beginner golfers
Another good one ...! Everyone can practice the "book drill" at home!
Great video. I am working on wrist rotation right now. Every video Jonathan puts out is amazing. Such a good instructor.
More great instructions! Simple to the point and effective! Thank You.
Great video, thanks Jonathan.
Glad you enjoyed it
Priceless for slicers.
Brilliant. This solves so many issues.
Awesome video man! I love the visual. More of these:) bunker play I try to think of the opposite wrist conditions

Once again great visualization and feedback.
Great golf instruction.
Spot on.
Clear concise lesson...thanks

Great tip using the iPad!
Going to try his at the range today.
Thanks!

best advice ever
Lets do an detailed video on the grip, and how to train the right grip and pressure
Just what i needed
love your videos jonathan, you gotta record a video where you actually play a course man. I would love to see you in action
Does this approach apply tp square the face for driver too, given that we want to catch the ball on the upswing ?
Interesting... very interesting
I never have played golf, but I was just looking for a song called closeface and this came out instead
Superb video
Any preference for early wrist set to square it early (set it and forget it? vs late wrist set with supple wrists to help with lag and momentum?
Do we use the same wrist movement on driver?
How do you get consistent with the forearm roll?

Do you have private lessons in person?
Are you able to take this technique to the golf course or is this just a drill to use?
学会了！每天学⛳️
Do you teach at GolfTec & if so where?
Singapore
awesome
Coat hanger drill
I have enjoyed your lessons, however I find this one confusing (the book/ipad).
Cured my shanks
For short iron i noticed you do not need to roll over club face it stays more open towards the sky.
If you want to hit weak blocks to the right then do that! OR if that is a FEEL you need based on your tendencies to get you doing the movement correctly
👍💯
I see that you NEVER respond to anyone's comments. I guess our questions don't matter to you...Time to unsubscribe...
Thanks!

I will be trying this today. I love your videos, so well explained and easy to understand. Thanks.
Does launching the ball straight up mean I'm extending early or not rolling correctly? (Both?). I'm also having trouble leaving a divot.
Brilliant Jonathan. Concise, well explained and helped me understand the wrists more than 10 years of live lessons
That was the explanation I needed. Thank you.
Jonathan this drill has really showed me how to swing through the ball. Thank You very much!
What if you constantly hook the ball? Do i need to open the club face then? Thanks in advance
You are fantastic ❤

Never a wasted moment. Clear instructions and good drills carefully explained. I wouldnt hesitate to take lessons from him but Singapore is a long way fr Vancouver.
Is this backswing only for this drill (halfway back and not full)? See only flexion of left hand and no radial deviation (cocking). Thanks
Wow, what amazing explanation on how to close the club face. It really helps in feeling how to close the club face and not push to the right. Thanks
I have this problem, when I hit the ball I felt the club face was closed and my ball went big draw but not duck hook. What's the problem?
Hi...very informative.
Just subscribed.
Hi Jonathan, You have great instruction and great video. How does this compare with a stronger grip for closing the club face?
Excellent advice. Thanks for making keys like this accessible 🙌🏼
Is that the same for the drive off the tee also for woods off the deck Thanks Again
Your lesson is so on point - my coach went through this exact concept with me just yesterday!
Why a split second after impact, when the time to release.. we always stop mid way?
Best lesson I’ve ever watched hitting soft draws on the range after 5 mins.
Best coach on UA-cam and best looking swing!
Great explanation. Thanks
Thank you so much for this drill!
Is the drill also good for driver and woods?
thank you
Excellent
아주 기초에 충실한 좋은 강의네
I typically draw my irons and hybrids; but often push driver. I’m a 14 handicap. Any suggestions? Thank you.
People pay $1,000’s to be able to draw be happy😊 swing out to in with open club face and you can fade it
I went to a Golf Tec and my coach never explained it to me this way nor went through a drill like this. He always had me doing full swings. Felt like I wasted a lot of money there.
I have had 4 different golf coaches. They only care about signing up for more lessons. They really don't want me to improve and stop taking lessons.
Great Jonathan. Please do a video of how to hit a fade. I can’t hit a fade or a cut to save my life. Cheers.
He explains a slice at 1:40
