Well done

I have recently got my hands on a lovely Taylormade Mg 2 56* Wedge ! Am Practicing regularly with it in my back garden hitting gentle chips - when they work they are FAB !! and addictive ! However will be getting an easy to hit wedge to get me out of bunkers and chip around the green soon as a gamer - Cleveland CBX or the like ? Short game is fab ! You have to start with an EASY to hit club though !!!

I prefer 56 personally

Absolutely fantastic video, thanks very much for that advice…👍

I’ve never liked this tip that Ben Hogan coined because, it is possible to grip it incorrectly and still get this leverage you’re describing. This checkpoint DOES NOT guarantee a proper grip. The reason is that you can get this leverage while still palming it, you simply turn the hand to the right, making your grip stronger. This tip has lead many a golfers to a strong, incorrect grip. Tips like this aren’t useful because they’re attempting to oversimplify something that isn’t simple at all. The way you hold a golf club is counterintuitive to the way anyone would naturally grab a stick of any kind.

You didn’t touch it 😂 I set up with shaft lean never straight

What if you can't physically do this? I've been trying forever to hold the club more in my fingers. I'm not sure that pad is big enough on my hand

What if you can't physically do this?

Shall i share my video of swing and can you correct it

I am very inconsistent with my driver . One day I hit very well other day I screw it up. The problems are slices, hooks ,topping . I hit well in range but in game i do make regular mistakes

Mike, best wishes for your recovery, and return to playing (not just teaching) our great game. I experienced a full thickness tear of the TFCC in my right wrist over 3 years ago. I saw three specialists, each with different treatment recommendations. I have not done surgery, yet. Please keep us posted on your recovery.

Great analogy. Gotta go get more wood!

Good Story. Curious what you learned from spending the time on the course with Brad? Anything that sticks with you now?

Great story. I am also allergic to gluten, so I feel your pain at restaurants. Hope you’re well and that your wrist is healing nicely.

Good story. It can be challenging to maintain a positive attitude when things aren’t going your way or others in your group are always complaining. I like the quote - there is nothing to lose by keeping a positive attitude. I’ll remember that one and try to practice it.

Accupuncture really helped me, and mine went completely self-treated. Couldn't hold a club for a year without taping my whole hand, once I started strengthening it and doing treatments I started seeing improvement.

This exactly happened to me. Doctor's said nothing, just a sprain. It never got treated but spent 3 years on and off with it. Really changed my golf game for the worse. Just this year I finally got back to a semi-familiar place.

Thanks for sharing . Prayers for a full recovery.

Good video. For me if I try to “feel” my swing thought I usually way overdo it and hit a bad shot! Stupid game 😮. Playing tomorrow !

Good information, hope your recovery goes quick and smooth 👍

Great video. This is something I've been working on since I first read Hogan's thoughts on it.

I hope things heal up well for you. I went through wrist surgery before I even took up golf and it was 7 months in a cast for me. When you do heal up be sure to keep exercising to prevent arthritis and look into graphite shafts and Turmeric for inflammation. I had surgery in my early 20's and I'm in my late 50's now and I hope to keep playing golf as long as possible.

Going through the same. The problem in Aus is that it's a 3-6 month wait to see a surgeon. And the 5 min consult is never enough to go through scans, go through all the problems - they send you on your way with a referral for injections that gets you nowhere. Been dealing with mine for 10+ years.

One more - I would like to hear more about other golfers with their wrist injuries and how they are dealing with it -

Thanks for sharing - I had a major left wrist injury two and 1/2 years ago - TFCC tear and Ulnar pain- didn’t play golf for a year - surgeons wanted to perform Ulnar shortening surgery - I avoided it! Received various treatments; including PRP therapy - I can now play golf (heavily taped with brace) - all the best to you

Mike - Thanks of sharing your story. I pray it's all going to be up from here following your surgery, and that the recovery and rehab goes great, and that you'll be on the course a lot in years to come.

I feel your pain my man. I’m sorry you had to go through all that. I really believe you will be back 💪

I had TFCC surgery in 2006 after my daughter was born. I had the best surgeon in NYC. I also found MAT (Muscle Activation Therapy) to be extremely helpful after the surgery. I almost want to say that I wish I had done that first before going through that surgery. I have learned that where the pain is located usually comes from somewhere else. Good luck to you. I know what it's like to not play golf from pain. You are young and will have plenty of golf ahead of you.

Mike, things are making sense now I really enjoyed watching your challenges with your students thanks for sharing your experiences and wishing you and your family the best get well and hope we can see some challenges in the future get well my friend 👍

Here’s hoping the surgery was a success and that things improve for you soon, Mike!

I use 4 iron

pitching wedge tbh, if it’s not a hill up the green then maybe a 5 or something to get it running down the green, i would use a 60 or 56 for a higher and further shot.

Toe down 50° putting stroke!

Probably the best video on the most important part of golf. FUNDAMENTALS and mastering them saves TIME = fun!

It depends on how often u use the club like some people don’t really use it because it’s hard for them to

I use the reverse grip(left hand low) and i like this grip because i automatically use my shoulders to putt without thinking about it

I have a friend that carries about 18 clubs. I dont care he loves collecting.them.

If I can putt it, I am putting it. Bad putting is always better than a bad chip

Great video

From a fellow left handed golfer. Great information and look forward to more. Any information would be appreciated

Pw 60 is too inconsistent with backspin or any spin at all

Great lesson. Thank you Mike.

I have been topping my Drive's an it is killing my game.

I like the idea of left hand low. My problem, or my thinking, is that I don't have the feel as I do with other putting grips. But I do like the shoulders being instantly aligned which is a big help.

Topping the driver kills me. I feel like I'm not keeping my head. Got a drill for that.
