This is one of the best explanations of the right wrist I’ve ever heard. Thank you and thank you to the YT algorithm for putting it on my feed.

[@BrisGolf]

Thanks for the comment and compliment. I am glad the algorithm is working too!! Keep watching.

[@moefoley567]

Fantastic job of explaining the wrist bend, the technique with corresponding drills. Nice job...I will be taking this too the range. Thanks for the time.

[@BrisGolf]

You are welcome and thank you for the nice comment. Let me know how it goes on the range. Keep watching!!

[@oceanyt8]

Dang.. Just a few thousand followers but explaining like a season youtuber Pro. So precise and detail. I have been working on the right wrist for some time. This one explains so well.

[@BrisGolf]

Thank you for the compliment. I may be small on KZbin but I have been a PGA professional and teaching golf for a living for 27 years. Keep watching!

[@oceanyt8]

@BrisGolf Wow ! Thanks for the clarification. One important question, do we have to flip the right wrist just right after balll impact ?

[@BrisGolf]

No, we never flip the wrists. You will want to rotate the left wrist and forearm. Go look at my video on how the left arm works.

[@oceanyt8]

@@BrisGolf Got it man. Much appreciated..

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent job Michael in explaining how to achieve a bent right wrist and it's importance. I have been working on a flat left wrist and a bent back right wrist together with a folded right arm in my swing for a while now. In viewing this video the importance of the body rotating through this shot cannot be overemphasized. Well Done Michael! I always find something useful in your videos! Keep up the good work!!!

[@BrisGolf]

Thanks man!!

[@Mikey32255]

Michael, thank you so much for this video and drill! It has been eye opening and having been a flipper; the immediate feel and early results are amazing!

[@BrisGolf]

Thanks Mike. I hope this really helps your game. Go check out some of my other videos, lots of good info to help you improve.

[@Mike-os6qd]

Listen to this guy. What he’s saying about the right wrist is the most important thing I do in my swing. I flush the ball and it cured my annoying pulled hook immediately. 👏👏👏

[@BrisGolf]

Thanks Mike

[@FatDivotGolf]

You have a really nice way of explaining things MB! Really enjoying your content and learning a lot from it!

Grazie, I was in Rome and Florence this past September. About a week before the Ryder Cup. It was a fantastic vacation.

[@billsonnett6292]

Well done

[@paultaylorgolfinstruction]

Just sent this to one of my students, thanks

[@BrisGolf]

Thanks Brah! That is a compliment.

[@johndoyle5118]

I discovered this method almost by accident, while watching a video on a new training aid that promotes this wrist hinge ,the aid is rather expensive ,so ive been trying the motion you are showing,,when I get it right I'm ripping the ball but tend to be a bit wild so I'll do what you suggest and slow down my practice swings many thanks

[@BrisGolf]

Thank you for watching and the compliment. Keep watching, lots of great content on my channel and lots to come.

[@brdgolf1f814]

I just found your videos. These are great. Your approach is perfect. This drill is awesome. I plan to spend the next few weeks with it. Do you have something similar for driver and fairway woods?

[@BrisGolf]

Welcome to the channel. What took you so long to find me, hahaha!! I am glad you like my content. I try and make videos of the things I teach on a daily basis. I will put driver and fairway woods on my list of future videos. Thanks for watching and the nice comment.

[@rickiew7713]

I really appreciate you starting by telling us why we want the bent right wrist great explanation. my first time seeing your video you may be the guy for me because I always need to know why for it to sink in

[@BrisGolf]

Thank you very much for the comment. I like to keep my instruction informative and simple. Welcome aboard the channel.

[@rickiew7713]

​​@@BrisGolfit's working really well for me. I'm trying to bend back right wrist and get weight of club on my right trigger finger at top. Thank you very much. I am trying to keep my left hip back as well. One thing i'd like your opinion on is it seems I get across the line at the top I wonder if it has to do with my posture I have pretty long legs. Anyways. Thank you

[@BrisGolf]

It would have to do more with the position of the right arm. Elbow is probably getting behind you too much and separated from left elbow. Keep elbows together and in front of your chest.

[@rickiew7713]

@@BrisGolf thanks alot! I will try that

[@jeddyhi]

Maintaining the angle in the trail wrist also promotes a de-lofted club head (more distance), prevents you from casting into an early release and also helps to keep the clubhead square to the swing path. Like the video shows, you must commit to the swing and rotate the body for the club to get back to the ball square and flush. Over all this eliminates a lot of hand action, flipping and twisting of the hands. Master this and your accuracy, distance and consistency will greatly improve.

[@BrisGolf]

Thanks for the comment. You sound like you have a lot of golf swing knowledge.

[@JohnALamb-up8ef]

Great advice re hinged wrist is it the same with driver?

[@BrisGolf]

Yes, it is

[@Cossa-ep7hk]

Tried this drill today with good results. In fact, on a full speed pivot I hit great shots equal to a normal full swing in distance. Which makes me wonder what the point of an ordinary backswing is.

[@BrisGolf]

Thanks for the feedback and the comment. When the pivot works correctly it is very powerful. It shows how inefficiency of your old pivot. Keep up the good work.

[@dlgolftips]

Great video as always ⛳️

[@ccr6222]

Any suggestions for the person who due to old injuries and arthritis neither wrist bends backwards or side to side.?

[@BrisGolf]

You will have to use your elbows as the hinging point. It is tricky, but doeable. You won't generate as much speed, but you can control the club. It will be a little Moe Norman like.

[@MrJeffdayle]

Pick up croquet.

[@veganfit2388]

I noticed you have a trigger where you slightly push your hands forward. Do you do this with all your clubs?

[@BrisGolf]

Yes. It is a forward press that I do on all clubs. I have been doing it so long that I don't even know I do it. It is my trigger and has nothing to do with the content of the video or allowing me to keep my right wrist bent. Great question and very observant!

[@xpress7578]

Lag comes from the right wrist NOT THE LEFT WRIST as all You Tube Pros promote. BUT don’t hold the angle of the right wrist. As you go thru to hit the ball unload and hit with the right wrist and body as explained in the video. Jack Nicklaus said he wished he had two right hands.

[@edryan965]

this method at least for me requires proper distance from ball - . stand too far and shoulder plan gets flat and inconsistent contact. I wound up hooking shots with a closed face.

[@BrisGolf]

Sorry it didn't work for you, but I don't understand your comment. Why did a flat plane cause you to hit a hook? And why did a bent right right wrist cause a closed club face? Just curious. Thank you for the comment and watching.

[@FM-db3ft]

Why not just start the address using the impact position?

[@BrisGolf]

To achieve impact position with the right wrist the body must be rotated through impact. The hips will be open, the chest should be slightly open, and the shaft leaned forward. You would have a hard time aiming from that address position as well as making a back swing from there. Thank you for the question and watching the video,

[@dry509]

Do you push the right hand or uncock the right wrist at the last second to hit the ball hard?

[@BrisGolf]

NOOOOO!! We never push the right hand forward. The angle will come out on it's own as we continue to pivot towards the follow through. Thanks for the question. I hope this answer helps.

[@dry509]

@@BrisGolf Thanks. I asked because I had read of the earlier famous golfers talk about hitting with the right hand?

[@BrisGolf]

May be okay for the pro that has great hands, but not the regular golfer. Thanks again.

[@dry509]

@@BrisGolf So you actually try to keep the right wrist bent when making contact… hit the ball with bent right wrist? Trying to understand..thanks.

[@BrisGolf]

The right wrist must be bent in order to have lag in the club head and to have shaft lean. This is the only way to compress the ball against the turf. If you push your right hand forward you are flipping the club head.

[@ayotollaofrockandrolla7219]

I get that .. but a foot after the ball you better do something else. Or have some massive stall flip

[@BrisGolf]

Yep, arms will need to rotate and club will move around to the left on the plane. Sounds like another good video. Thanks for the comment!

[@Pingao2012]

This is a good tip for irons. Driver is different though

[@BrisGolf]

Driver is different in the sense that the swing plane is flatter and more around, and you hit up on the driver. But you still need to maintain lag and a bent right wrist. Thank you for the comment and for watching.

[@lifeinaqua660]

Hopefully this guy will talk for over 7 minutes & show us the swing for around 23 seconds of the video.

[@BrisGolf]

Thank you for watching the entire video and the comment. Both actions help my video reach more people.

[@Blue_Dun]

Maybe if you're a guy who has been flipping his hands or letting the club head get passed the hands at impact his whole life, and you've watched hundreds of videos of instructors telling you to hit the ball before the ground, and give you a drill like, for example, put a towel behind the ball and don't hit the towel, without any explanation of how you're supposed to achieve that, you might appreciate a good explanation for once. Oh but I'm sure I've lost you already because my comment is too long for ya.

[@BrisGolf]

@@Blue_Dun HAHAHA!! Good One!!

[@MoneyIsntRealGeorge]

If this was an attempt at a witty, funny comment, you have failed. You get a D-. Try again.

Talks like a politician, talks a lot but really doesn’t get to the point. This move is explained by every teacher much better than he, it’s called “The Magic Move”

Thanks for the reply and the nifty name to what I was doing. Now I will have better words
