Very good explanation. The club will stay behind your hands. Will try this at range tomorrow.

[@Hittingitsolid]

Thanks Walter, all the best with it. Cheers

[@VeronicaDiPolo]

Great video!

[@Hittingitsolid]

Thanks Veronica, much appreciated!

[@SocialConfidenceMastery]

You explained this topic well!

[@Hittingitsolid]

Thanks, I really appreciate it. If you have any questions please let me know. Cheers.

[@darrenbliesner4210]

Thanks for the video. I’m working away moving the hands out a touch from the top (Brad Hughes) and through this momentum the wrist flattens or slightly bows. It doesn’t always work as right hand & shoulder take over. I’ll work with your drill. 😌

[@Hittingitsolid]

Thank you, good luck, and hope it works for you. Cheers

[@johnlyons3607]

Absolute priceless content Troy. Thanks so much. Just one thing I would like clarified: how do do you ascertain where to find the ideal initiation position to begin the bowing that suit your own swing?

[@Hittingitsolid]

Thanks John, yes it is different for everyone. I would say as soon as you feel your body start to rotate and open up that is a good time to start bowing the lead wrist. Your club should be shallowing as well. Cheers

[@RickVonSloneker]

Troy what about flipping the club around and swinging with only the left hand? It may be easier to get that bowed feel at impact. I am going to try it at the range tomorrow :)

[@Hittingitsolid]

Yes Dack, that can also be a good way to practice it. Cheers

[@steveperry1344]

i think this will really help me because i feel i do a lot of the swing correctly but at times i block shots out to the right and this may be a missing piece of the action for me. thnx.

[@Hittingitsolid]

Thanks Steve, appreciate it. Cheers

[@IntrepidGolfers]

Nicely explained. Recently I have injured my wrist (Extensor carpi unlaris ) from having a cupped left wrist i suspect. I have been experimenting with the Daniel Berger method as he flattens his wrist at the top. I have had lots of success with the shorter clubs but the long clubs are harder to hit straight. Any thoughts on why that might be the case?

[@Hittingitsolid]

Thank you, being a longer club it takes a bit more practice and also hitting off a tee. Experiment with the amount of bowing you get until you find a happy medium. You could be not bowing enough still or too much with the longer club. Get those practice reps in and find the right amount. Cheers

[@jasontroutman9845]

Do you think Bowing the left wrist will also help with getting your body more open at impact. I think you will naturally move your body to avoid pulling the ball with a closed club face I was wondering what your thoughts are on that

[@Hittingitsolid]

Yes, I agree Jason. I think it will naturally open more when you do this. Cheers

[@jasontroutman9845]

@@Hittingitsolid I tried this today in Pa , 39 degrees and windy. I played 9 holes and irons were superb! Weird feeling but I know in time I could acclimate to it. Driving distance was shorter for sure but ball flight was more predictable (low Draw) which may be a good trade off. I am a scratch player and experimented with this before. I never committed to it because of the decreased distance. Last year in competition an occasional extreme block hurt my scores. I definitely felt my body having to work harder and maybe it can become conditioned to drive my swing. My question is at 47 years old is this something you advocate to implement into a players game? It would be a major change because now I have a more Phil release. I am in good shape but just wondering what your thoughts are in respect to age and bowing the left wrist and changing to a more body driven swing ?

[@Hittingitsolid]

@@jasontroutman9845 Hi Jason, definitely think it's never too late to implement a change in your swing. Getting a more penetrating ball flight will definitely have its advantages especially in windy conditions. I feel a more body-driven swing is okay especially as we get older as it's easier to control the shots and they become more predictable. Cheers

[@jimcoll2329]

What type of grip do you use ? Strong, weak or neutral ?

[@Hittingitsolid]

Hi Jim, I use a neutral and personal prefer either that or a stronger grip. But, it is an individual thing. There's a lot of good professional golfers with weak grips.

[@larrya7360]

I tried your left-arm-only exercise and the compression I felt hitting the ball was amazing. I had tried that approach before, with similar results. But when I add the right arm and hand, immediately I start hitting the ball thin - nothing like the left-hand-only feeling. I’m so discouraged I’m about to quit the game, and I’m not lying. There must be something my right hand or arm does to ruin my impact.

[@Hittingitsolid]

I'd be interested to see your golf swing Larry. There's probably another underlying issue why you're flipping. It could also be improper weight shift or weight pressure particularly in the downswing. There are many ways we can fix this. Cheers, Troy

Hitting It Solid Golf - Do you have an email address to send you video?

[@Hittingitsolid]

@@larrya7360 if you have a slow mo swing showing face on and down the line that would be great. You can email to [e-mail]. Cheers

[@firstreviewer8966]

Well, it's whatever works, and it seems that bowing your wrist "works," or at least it seems to be working for some big hitters. Today, with courses getting longer, some at 7400, there's more of a premium placed on distance. To that end, I see more of the old 3 and 5 woods back in the bags. Now if your swing speed isn't at least over 104 mph, getting to today's longer par 5's (600yds) the ol' guaranteed par 5 birdie is out of reach, because a 260 tee ball won't cut it. Great Video! FR

[@Hittingitsolid]

Thanks for your comment, appreciate it.

[@larrya7360]

Many instructors pooh-pooh the idea of this manipulation of the left wrist, that if the golfer has proper sequencing, the flat or bowed left wrist will simply happen. Maybe so, but no matter what sequencing or philosophy I've tried, nothing has helped me achieve the flat/bowed left wrist at impact. I'll practice what this video preaches, and see if it makes a difference. I may be just one of those people who unknowingly flips the right hand at impact, and can't do anything about it. It's been 13 years now, and I still flip.

[@Hittingitsolid]

Yes, Larry. It does work but require a bit of practice. Cheers, Troy

[@ST-xg3gy]

I find that when you have the right wrist bent, the left wrist bows. Keep right wrist bent through impact, right Troy?

[@larrya7360]

Scott Taylor At full speed, lots easier said than done, at least for me.

[@TG-bq1kn]

Most of us who flip the club are hitting at the ball with the right hand. It seems that the golf swing doesn’t need the right hand much at all. I am lost at how to eliminate it’s involvement.

[@Hittingitsolid]

Thanks for your comment. A lot of practice making left handed swings really helps. Gradually bring the right hand on and feel as though it supports the club without controlling it so much. Takes a bit of time but you can do definitely do it. Cheers

[@jasontroutman9845]

Left wrist flection = right wrist extension, maybe you concentrate on the extension , I’m also right hand dominate it is easier to concentrate on it.
