  • This video will teach you how to simplify down the wrist set/wrist hinge so that you can control the face, create great width, get on plane, de-loft the club and massively improve your impact position. In this video I will talk about the correct way to simply set the wrists so that you can produce a simple and effortless golf swing!
    A lot of amateurs do not know how to set the wrists/hinge the wrists correctly in the golf swing. As a result the causes the club to get off plane, they lose control over the clubface creating, most commonly, a very open clubface throughout the golf swing. All in all this will result in huge inconsistencies in your golf game, making it far harder than it needs to be.
    In this video I will go through how the left hand and right hand need to individually work to create the proper wrist set. As well as this I will go through the correct way they need to work together in order to work as one super efficient unit. Not only this but I run through an amazing alignment stick drill that will speed up your learning ensure you master this move. Finally, and most importantly, I run through the reason as to why focusing on one hand rather than the other will massively help you improve how quickly you learn this move.
    By following the steps in this video you will learn how to set the wrist/hinge the wrists correctly in your swing. This will produce a better impact position, more shaft lean, better clubface control and compression. If you can do this then you will play better golf and your scores will start to lower fast!

    Omg! Rarely do I pick anything up from YT that’s going to be an absolute game changer but I watched this earlier before playing. Only had time to hit 15 balls before heading out but I the feeling of hinging the right hand was the missing piece for me. Was able to rotate much better through the ball which took the stress off my back. Strike was pure through the bag and divots nice and shallow.
    Scored crap but nothing to do with ball striking, I play off 2 and had a terrible day on the greens. Still walked off feeling like I’d made a breakthrough which is why I came back to leave this comment. Massive thank you. My coach has been trying to get me to use my hips better for months. 👍

    Giles, your videos are consistently excellent but this one takes the cake. IMO it’s one of, if not THE BEST instruction videos I’ve seen, as well as very timely for me.
    First, kudos for acknowledging that there isn’t just one dominant side in a golf swing. I’m a right-handed person (I write, throw, and play racquet sports with my right hand) who plays golf left-handed… Canadian, eh. I find it irritating that most golf instruction presumes that the trail side is a golfer’s dominant side. There is no difference between a left-handed swing and right-handed swing except for the side of the ball on which one stands. There is, however, a massive difference between a right-sided swing and a left-sided swing as you pointed out. Any lessons I’ve taken that required my left side (my trail side) to be dominant have failed. They may have worked on the lesson tee and for a few holes in the next round but in the heat of battle the naturally dominant side (right side for me) wants to run the show. Precious little golf instruction recognizes that fact.
    Second, I recently purchased a HackMotion training aid. It’s a genius device and I’ve been slowly making progress with it towards correcting overextension in my lead wrist both at the top of my swing and at impact. After seeing your suggestion to push the lead hand down toward the trail big toe, I tried it in my basement training station. Using the HackMotion audio feedback function, I found I was consistently able to keep my lead wrist in the recommended ranges both at the top and at impact without any unnatural-feeling manipulation. Your timing couldn’t have been better. Thank you and keep up the great work my friend!

    • @Gilesgillgolf
      @Gilesgillgolf  11 місяців тому +1

      Wow everything you said in here is spot on and like you said I don’t know many coaches that talk about dominate sides. Might be worth me doing a full swing video on this topic.
      The other great thing is the data has back up that you’re doing the correct things which will fill you confidence!
      Glad you enjoying the content

  • @TeddyCavachon
    @TeddyCavachon 11 місяців тому +5

    The pushing down action with the lead hand is something few instructors mention. Even fewer mention the underlying cause and effect of the physics ❤👍
    The brilliant thing about the Vardon-style grip in which the pad of the trail hand is up over the lead thumb is how it forces the trail wrist into maxed out extension very quickly in the backswing when the pushing down action of the lead hand is used. As metioned here, that maxing out of the trail wrist then forces the trail arm to fold elbow down, the same biomechanics used by a food server lifting and controlling a heavy tray with LEVERAGE rather than strength. In the golf swing that trail arm folding leverage is what allows the golfer to automatically and effortlessly guide the club up and back down on a path which allows the golfer to stay in balance-not critical for generating power, but essential for consistently accurate ball striking.
    The biggest faults I see in recreational golfers are: 1) not applying the Vardon style grip correctly and as a result not getting the ideal automatic trail arm action, and; 2) as a result of the club head mass not automatically swinging on the ideal balanced path they must grip the handle with their finger too tightly which inhibits the lag and release which generates the most club head acceleration.

    My right wrist doesn’t not bow. That’s why I can’t get enough spin in my disc golf forehand.
    It’s also why I feel so incredibly powerful with my lead left wrist. My trail arm feels so weak when it comes to the golf swing.

    As a lefty, I’ve always tried to flatten my lead (right) wrist and haven’t got anywhere. I started to focus on my trail wrist after seeing this video by having the feeling of holding a tray flat at the top of my backswing and then keeping that feeling down into impact and I must say, I’ve never hit it better. This is forcing me to rotate through impact whilst having a great amount of shaft lean and my ball flight is much more penetrating and consistent. It makes much more sense to focus on the side you are more dominant with rather than the other. Great video Giles 👏🏻

    Outstanding! As a right-side dominant player, I could never feel the left wrist working like it should in the backswing. As soon as I shifted my focus to hinging my right wrist, great things began to happen. Been playing the game for 35 years and misinterpreted the one-piece takeaway as a very late wrist set (which turns into cupping, overswinging, etc.). While focusing on the right wrist hinging (which feels very) earlier in the backswing, the results are outstanding. My shot height is back, but compression is solid and divots look great. Handle is in front of clubhead at impact as verified by video. Thank you!

    I love what you said about the dominant side of the body. I’ve always said the left arm is the swinging arm and the right arm is the firing arm(for right handed golfers). This is difficult for a lot of right handed golfers because their left side of the body is like a new born calf. It’s all about thinking about it correctly in the mind and then executing.

    69 years old 4 handicap. Shot 72 yesterday after watching this video. In addition to your insights, be aware that when you push down with left and pull back with right, the "downward" centered load is extremely powerful and my "over the top" tendency did not disappear, thus some pulls and slices. Many of my swings did not shallow coming down. Please comment on transition from top . I just subscribed to your channel Giles and thanks.

    One thing, sometimes I get the feeling my hands aren’t on the grip properly. Sometimes too strong or weak, can’t figure that out. Can you do a video on how they go on and feel, especially with the driver and woods. As the clubs get longer the feeling changes?

    Great breakdown, I have gotten a lot better the last few years but kept telling my coach that I just don't understand how the wrists are supposed to work and it has led to a lot of inconsistencies and hurt my power. I would try to keep my left wrist flat or bowed at the top of my swing but it always feels like I am fighting it on the downswing.

    Been trying this drill for a bit now - great results from a half swing. Also, noticed something else. My finish is different. Its a high finish after striking the ball. Before i used to cross the right arm over the left in a kind of 'flicking motion.' The confusion being i did hit some good shots. But in the long run, erratic as opposed to consistent. Great instructional video and i live in Leicester, East Midlands in the UK.

    Hey! Would you be able to make a video on how the forearms/wrists work on the down swing to impact and then release. Sorry I’m a brand new player and been just obsessed with learning and improving. My biggest flaw right now is consistent contact. I’m confused on how to roll my forearms and release my wrist set before impact or some other coaches mention to get into P6 formation and just rotate through without using any arms or wrist.
