HOW THE WRISTS WORK | You've been doing it all WRONG!

How the wrists should move in the golf swing is one of the most asked questions I receive from viewers wanting to know "The Secret".
Truth is, the wrist motion in golf is a very complex subject and one that has many possible variations depending on a player's grip type and shot shape preference.
However, there is ONE HUGE MISTAKE that the vast majority of golfers are making when it comes to the wrists, wrist hinge, and creating LAG in the golf swing and this video will explain HOW you've been getting it wrong your entire golfing life!!!
This video addresses the main wrist motions in the swing and how they have been misrepresented and misunderstood by golfers for decades. This video will help you if you've suffered with SLICING the ball your entire life, but never understood WHY!

Ron, this is at least for me, the best golf lesson I've ever seen on KZbin. I've watched it twice and of course I subscribed and rang the bell. The amount of detail with explanation was a 10 out 10. Thanks

@@golftecasia well done Ron

[@garystromberg8856]

I agree, great video. I think my problem is feeling like my arms need to be straight at impact, timed with a snapping of the wrist. I just can't seem to grasp the concept of maintaining a bent right arm and how much to be conscious of some release of the hands. I used to be a bogey golfer but now I'm a complete mess on the verge of giving it up

This is possibly one of the best explanations of what the wrists should do for an efficient golf swing I have ever heard. Out of the countless golf lessons I have had, many were either a waste of time and money or down right wrong. This guy has an analytical mind that knows how to explain and demonstrate a part of the swing that is critical to good ball striking. Many thanks, Rob

[@cgranny3383]

This lead wrist flexion tutorial starting at about 12:00 in video is only thing I thought about in round today and my usual blocks and flippy hooks disappeared. My score was SIXTEEN strokes better than my last round! I’ve had traditional pros over 30 years never describe this issue and have been very frustrated about my driver control for 7+ years. Today I was very much in control off the tee. I’m not a teacher, but have to believe that having a student realize your concept and see improvement almost immediately must feel like a purely struck one iron. Thank you Pro!

Lesson should have started at 12:00 and explained impact and follow thru

[@williamsonnega4706]

"Wrist hinge" has been my one most productive swing thought for a few years, leading to straighter, longer and more consistent shots throughout my game. But I've always wondered about the degree of wrist extension/flexion at the top of the swing. You explain the dynamics of this perfectly here, showing that the wrists move in two distinct planes with innumerable variations that all affect the club face at impact. Following your coaching, the feeling I'm working on now is a "wrist hinge" with more lateral than vertical motion. Your drill that shows how to create this by holding the club in front of you, flexing the left wrist and bending the right one back beneath, then simply bending over to the ball is brilliant. Totally different way thinking about wrist action. Super helpful, thanks!

[@brianfraser1038]

This is the ONE and ONLY video that changed my swing. I am 42 and this is the year that I decided to actually learn how to golf. I did a few times as a teen and had a horrible slice. Instructors couldn't help. I quit. I stayed away from golf for 25 years. Avoided it. Hated it. I knew what my ball path was and it was not fun. This year my wife (good golfer) and I (bad) decided to spend more time golfing. I dedicated a lot of time at the range to try and learn. I have watched countless videos. I have learned A LOT. I have corrected a lot. That being said there was some inconsistency until I saw THIS video. This absolutely changed my swing. It changed my contact. It changed my consistency. Without this video, explanation of wrist position and what I am trying to achieve I would not have had success. Many other videos offers techniques to correct on the downswing the issues that were already present. This video highlighted the absolute secret to fixing slices, hitting it straight both driver and irons and making golf so much more enjoyable. Thank you so much!!!!

[@tomzani2976]

This is the clearest explanation of proper wrist movement that I have ever heard. It makes an immediate difference in impact. I have been using you video instruction and it has me hitting more solid shots than ever before. There is not enough emphasis in general instruction about this and it is extremely misunderstood by golfers and even improperly taught. Thanks so much. I am from Ohio, USA and practice in my indoor net and can’t wait for golf season. Thanks, incredible lesson.

[@jerrybrouwer2494]

Hi Rob. I was a paid up member of the L to L for two full years. I’m a good golfer. Yet over the past three years I hooked everything. Searching, forever searching for the little draw, knowing all the while that with the little draw lurks the hook! I have now been with the S/T system for about 14 months. Yes the hook is gone, mostly slight pushes to the right of the target. The driver, for now a slight fade. This video on the movement of the wrists is absolutely the best instruction that I have ever listened to and watched. The detail is simple, easily understood, especially when you combine your backswing video instructions along with this video. I am one hundred percent into Stack and Tilt now. Twenty five years ago I tried the S/T although half heartedly and was told by the pro that I worked for that this would never work. Today, for me its given me a new start, I’m excited about my swing and can’t wait for the 2021 season to begin. I will continue to watch all of the S/T videos and pass them along to my inquisitive golfing buddies and playing partners. Now let’s talk a bit more about driving the flying wrist wedge through the ball. Thank you. Jerry. Hamilton Ontario.

[@stephendumble414]

Hi Rob, thank you so much for this video. I'm nearly 60 and just returned to golf in the last few years after playing in my late teens and early 20s. Since starting again, I've struggled with inconsistent heel strikes and with early extension/flipping and realise from videos that I have a cup in my left wrist at the top and tend to be too steep on the downswing. Whilst my game has improved a lot in the past 9 months (I'm back down to 11 now), I still battle with these problems. This video however explained so much to me - I realise now that whilst I keep my left wrist flat for much of the backswing, it is the last bit of 'hinge' at the top that is creating the cupping. After watching your video and paying special attention not to allow that last bit of hinge, all of a sudden I had a sense of the club coming almost from behind me on the downswing and I was able to rotate in an unimpeded way through the ball. The change to impact was astounding. Thank you so much - why has nobody ever explained this before? I am an avid subscriber now.

[@bedtimestoryfilms2438]

Thank you a thousand times! You are the only one who's explained exactly how the wrists should "hinge/cock" correctly, while also showing why from the front view, there seems to be no difference in the "lag created" (and which has caused all the confusion for people who just watch without hearing the explanation).

[@jamiesloan7259]

This is literally one of the keys to golf. I remember the day that it dawned on me to cock the right wrist back, which also flattens the left wrist(or slightly bows it). I used to be just as you described…. I pictured cocking the wrists “up”. This did just like you said…. Shaft across the line at the top. Club face too open. Club shaft standing up(too steep) on the downswing. And, inconsistent strike. I managed to play 70’s golf, but with a high weak fade. Now…. I cock the right wrist BACK, and simply flatten the lead wrist. I do this early in my takeaway, and then don’t even think about my wrists anymore. I’ll then allow the forearms to naturally rotate, which lets the shaft follow its natural plane(glove logo up at about a 45* angle at the top). Then, just rotate through the ball, allowing the forearms to naturally rotate through impact, and square the face. I’m now a near scratch player, hit the ball further, and strike it much better, with that compression and hissing sound with my irons. My swing feels more free, and unrestricted than ever before. Listen to this man. He’s the best on KZbin.

I have been using this since this came out. I repeat that this is the best explanation of wrist use in the golf swing. All others discuss hinging more up and down. This video with the stop short video are perhaps the best videos on golf one can watch. I keep looking for similar content on KZbin just to see if anyone else suggests this approach and no one describes it quite like this! Thanks again!!!!

Interesting. I started doing this today at the range after having figured it out as a quick fix for my swing, only to come home and see that you've nailed it. Fantastic description without a bunch of hemming and hawing and other fluff. Wish I'd known this 50 years ago. Always a big hitter with driver, couldn't hit my irons straight. I think this will be the key to getting to scratch...if I can make a putt or two!

[@stevec9231]

Ron, this is by far one of the best instruction videos ever! It has unlocked a much different approach to "wrist hinge" feel. I can't wait to practice this and then take it to the course. Thank you for all you do!! I'm almost 65 and a 6 index. Age is catching up to my coordination and timing, but this I believe will make up for it.

[@seniorswing8441]

The large amount of commentaries on this part of swing proves its vitality. I would add one by insisting you one more vid on SnT early hinging the left wrist in bsw ( that differs from convertional swing)and drill if any, push the handle down or employ some fingers doing that and what it does? Thnks.

[@gossardstudios5125]

Rob I stumbled onto your website about the wrist action on the downswing. I have been slicing my drives and pushing my irons. But especially slicing my drives and then taking bogies and double bogies, very frustrating. I tried all kinds of tips on the internet but nothing worked and was surper frustrated. I should be in the high 70's but usually score mid to high 80's. Like your video points out I have been hinging my wrist all wrong causing this slice and taking distance of my ball striking. I went out the other day and tried your wrist manueuver and my surprise I was not only not sliceing but striking the ball straight, higher and longer. Some of the best drives I can remember. Can't tell you how good this felt and I can draw the ball as well. This simple wrist action sloved my whole problem I have been dealing with for several years. Nobody I could find comments on this wrist issue and I think this is a major problem of golfers like me. Thankyou so much for this video. If I had not found this video I would still be hitting frustrating slices and not playing up to my full potential. By the way I am 68 so don't let anyone tell you you can't teach an old dog new tricks:)

I have watched so many videos about how to stop flipping the wrists, but this video is the ONE where it makes it so simple from 12 minutes in, to understand. its a game changer for me, recorded my swing and the flipping has gone, not sure how it relates on the golf course as I cant play with the lockdown. but still I have never seen the flip eliminated until now, and I have recorded my swing many many times...thanks Rob

[@williamthomas3263]

You don't know how much this video helped me. Watched yesterday and did some dry clubless runs in my bedroom last night. Took it to the range this morning. Consistently hit straight shots with my irons and even my driver just learning how to hinge the wrists. I struggled with club face control and was hitting wicked slices and my shots were losing 35-50 yards easily with it. This video and the stack and tilt are a game changer for me. I'm a beginner (less than six weeks since picking up a club) with a 25 handicap (yikes) never shooting below 100 on a par 72 course. I play again Sunday and cannot wait to!! Thanks so much!

[@kevinbachus5887]

unbelievable how clearly you touch on such a complex yet key element to the swing. I have been misled for years that the wrist cocking is the radial deviation.

Glad i can across your channel!!!!!! subscribed immdiately..

[@mattbrown4269]

YES. The face-on view with discussion of lag in golf instruction videos cost me days and days of progress. It was only when I started thinking of lag as a function of trail wrist extension and occurring horizontally rather than vertically that I moderated my slice/pull.

Just came across this video and it is EXCELLENT! I have been playing for 20 years, (46 years old now) and have managed to get ok (shooting in low 80's) I have plenty of club head speed but always lacked consistency. Well I have been hinging my wrists WRONG for the past 20 years! And I have thought about it in the past, thinking why would I open the club face just to hinge my wrists upward and then have to close the clubface during the downswing? Just seems like to many variables to control! But I kept doing it because I thought it was correct and instructor's said that is the way to do it. My misses are blocks to the right or severe hooks, which tells me my club path is ok (in to out) but based on where the clubface is at impact (square to path = block, or closed to path = hook) determined my shot, which was all based on timing and closing the clubface through impact. With this "new" wrist hinge method I don't have to think about opening and closing the clubface only bending the right hand back. Such a great Lesson!!!! I have played hockey in the past, and when you take a slap shot this is how your wrists work! The blade of the stick remains square to your path, you would never see a hockey player open the blade during the backswing just to close the blade during the downswing. So I tried taking a slap shot with my golf club (not actually hit a ball). If you move your right hand down onto the shaft and take a "slap shot" the wrists will naturally work correctly. Now work your right hand slowly taking "slap shots" along the way until your right hand is next to your left on the grip (use10 finger grip) and take another slap shot keeping same wrist action, you will be amazed at how this feels and this is the CORRECT wrist movement!! What do you think Rob?

I had the best ball striking round I've had in over 10 years after watching this and practicing the feel. The most surpriising thing was how straight and far I hit my driver.

This lesson is SOLID GOLD!!! Thank you!

Rob, I can't believe how easy you made the explanation of our wrist. Now I understand completely what wrist hinge is, and how it works, how limited we are. But, more importantly, you've helped me to understand what problem the wrist "cup" creates. I hope this will help me be more accurate on my striking the ball. My only other problem is the loss of distance I now have. I will be 70 yrs. old next month, but my drives are, at maximum, only 200. My driver and 3-wood are almost exactly the same distance, so I use my 3-wood most often off the tee. I agree with all your other viewers, and I have subscribed, and have rung the bell.

I am the guy you're talking about...many many years of cocking my wrists in a counter productive fashion. Even doing drills which reinforced it and never understanding why I've had the weak push shots. It's a very difficult habit to change and at first you might even feel this instruction is screwing up your swing. But stick with it. Even exaggerate it in order to feel the difference compared to cupping the lead wrist. Thank you for this video. I have watched other videos about cupping vs bowing the wrist, ulner deviation, extension, flexion, etc., but this is the best explanation and remedy I've seen yet.

Excellent lesson, Rob. I started toying with wrist bend a few years ago. Was suffering from a massive slice with my longer clubs, less pronounced with short irons. Stumbled onto the discovery they I was, consciously or not trying to create artificial lag by bending and it was opening the face massively. It’s still something I need to keep an eye on.

Genuis explanation 🎉 I use the Hackmotion device. It measures wrist angle as you swing with audio feedback for the correct position. Really helps. Because what you think you're doing may or may not be what you're actually doing. The perfect static wrist position often falls apart during the motion of swinging, without you even realizing it.

[@rickc3291]

[@paulhackney3184]

agree the best lesson I have seen. understanding that the wrists are always moving and working to discover the proper movement is really unbelievable tip. By adjusting the wrist movement on the upswing not only sets up the wrists on the downswing but also, for me, slows the backswing allowing for the proper sequence for the downswing. Your videos which does the swing in detail are outstanding. The one about the movement of the head has allowed me to make the full backswing. Thanks!

[@TheGolfronnie]

The best explanation of wrist position ever. Excellent.

[@corycare5241]

This is the exact problem I've had golfing for 40+ years. My last lesson (Golftec BTW) corrected 2 major flaws of my inconsistency of ball striking...opening the club face rather than keeping it square and bending my left knee inward rather than towards my toe. This move improved my overall rotation as keeping the wrists/club head in line, produced forward shaft lean, better compression and striking properly against the left side at impact. At first it felt quite awkward but now feels natural. The turning of the wrists downward slightly felt very strange but now I focus on that movement at the beginning of my downswing...it is all so incremental and difficult to describe but you've done an excellent job at explaining this movement. It seemed no matter how much I tried to strike the ground after the ball, it was literally hit or miss. The results were fat or thin shots. When seeing on camera that I was actually "flipping" the club head to "catch up", I was so surprised because it was the very thing I was attempting to avoid. Thankfully, the problem is now corrected and your teaching on this wrist movement has confirmed my previous lesson. Thank you Rob. Excellent as always.

[@tombland7336]

So glad to see a video on this topic. It’s not talked about enough. I struggled with consistency and control. At the range I practiced triggering wrists vertically on back swing, then flattened wrists at top laterally, keeps everything in the slot on plane. With irons ball is popping. With driver ball is exploding and straight. I had fade or slice action before and struggled to get 246 yards max. Now I anticipate it will be going 280ish + consistently. Crazy!

[@petercoventry7653]

Hi Rob I, like many golfers misunderstood the way the wrists work in the backswing for 50 years. My first lesson with Darren Hopwood bought this home with a bang.like most people I had fanned the club open into a very extended position as you describe,he made me realise that I was dead in the water by p2 and p3,there is no easy consistant way back from this position, its luck if you hit any kind of sensible shot due to the amount of distance the club has to travel on the downswing ,there simply isn't enough time without a flicking action. To get used to the correct position Darren got me to feel like I was curling my hands under in the first part of the backswing this got me on a better plane and flexed wrist posion very quickly. This initially felt very weird having done opposite for so long . After a while it became more comfortable and now 8 months down the road I do this without thinking. Making any movement takes quite a long time because its not only the way your body moves but also your brain has to reprogram the new action and loose the old. Perseverance and repartition with the correct moves will prove fruitfull i can vouch for this at age 68 ,you are not to old to make change it just takes a little longer. Rob thanks for sharing this vital information, again pure gold peter

Thanks Rob. I've watched way too many videos on how the wrists 'should' work in the golf swing but this is by far the best.

[@guitarchamp71]

This lesson really made a difference for me. Thanx

[@noisebarrier]

Rob, Excellent demonstration. I am a visual learner, and your teaching method with two views was helpful. My model for swing an iron is pro Steve Stricker. My thought process requires a connected swing. When I address the ball, I draw my elbows toward each other. This forces the arms to move with the rotation of the shoulders around the spine. The wrists stay in the flat flexon position throughout the swing. I use a slow takeaway, coiling around the right hip, and it feels like the club is aligned line with my left arm (I am a right handed player) throughout the swing. My right elbow locks into position in front of my right hip and upon weight shifting to my left side, a natural rotation of the body occurs. The downswing thought is to extend the left arm to maintain a wide radius, it is not a downward pull. Lag is not something I consider, but it happens as a result of a proper grip and the speed of the boy's rotation. The club is lightly held so that it swings due to its momentum in a path toward the target. I see more and more pro golfers using this type of swing for their iron shots into the green because it keeps the wrists still and the face angle of the club on target. It also results in more repeatable distances from specific clubs. Could you demonstrate a swing like Strickers and help me replicate his method?

[@ssparko7776]

I played two rounds using this change and I hit my irons 10-15 yards longer, on target with a slight draw, and I felt like I was barely swinging the club. I used to feel I was fighting my own swing and would get really tired. I don’t get tired anyone. Best golf instruction I’ve ever had

[@realityobservationalist7290]

I've had this problem for probably 20 years. I was the stereotypical "more lag" golfer at HS age, and I'm sure I solidified this mistake to a near0permanent level. I never knew what I was actually doing, and after watching this it makes so much sense. Thank you so much!!

[@dazalenko4250]

Yes exactly! To achieve the uncocking action of cupped wrist is the opposite direction to the forearm movement which slows it down, a bit like backhand slapping someone starting with a cupped wrist is far slower than starting with a bowed ar flat wrist.

Thank you, Rob. Outstanding and succinct explanation of how the wrists work and should function in the golf swing. 👍

[@stacksey1]

Excellent video, I find focussing on a bent right wrist on the downswing works for me

[@ronnleffler7201]

Lost my swing about 4 years ago and have been trying to find it. I can tell something was wrong in my feel making a pass at the ball. Same weak right ball flight you said. I’ve gotten lessons and no one has addressed this issue I knew I had thank you!!! I kind of feel like this is a mistake most golfers make because it feels easy to create the lag.

[@davidd1395]

Excellent presentation, thank you!

[@chrisgaddy10]

Excellent video! I believe this is a problem most high handicap golfers are facing. Excellent job explaining proper wrist hinge!

[@131313407]

Excellent video. So well explained.

[@kelownagillis]

Your explanation is very much inline with Nick Faldo instruction and right on the money. In addition to this the left arm fold on the through swing is also a good drill to do. Thanks

[@jerryhilditch5991]

So glad I found this video. Have struggled with strike for the last year, knew I was flipping but couldn't stop it, this instruction has! Just back from the range, 15 yards longer with a high draw. Subscribed, many thanks 😊.

[@mattgraff2563]

Superb demonstration. The best explanation of the needed action and position of the wrists. Best bucket of balls I've hit in months.

[@mohitchauhan5952]

I went to the range and practiced based on your detailed breakdown of how the wrist works. For the first time ever, i've actually hit a draw (on purpose). i was able to alternate between draws and fades on shots. Thank you Sir!.

[@kevinm9570]

I thought from 15:16 to the end of the video really tied together all of his points! I was a little confused early on, but completely get his method at the end.....THANKS!

[@tomwgibson]

I loved this. The two camera view took me right back the to 10 Golftec lessons I took at the beginning of the year. :) ... and which btw got me on my way to much better and gratifying golf. Thanks, Rob! Really awesome.

[@sharaarati]

Rob’ this was the best anyone ever explained.Tried it on the course today and broke 80 first time ever.Thanks.

[@tetron999]

omg...that was great rob...the way you explained it makes so much sense....cant wait to try this tomorrow..thank you

[@chp7191]

Rob thank you for the video, even a year later. I’ve seen so many videos explain the need for “lag” however none whatsoever go into the detail of the wrist, deviation/flexion etc. as a result I’ve pushed and sliced my irons for over a year… not anymore..incredible video and detail I can’t thank you enough. No more going down rabbit holes with other instructional videos again! Sticking to my man Rob only!

[@woodyvaughn3630]

@@golftecasia The explanation is great. Would love to see this is in a simple drill to do over and over as a practice swing.

[@jasonbruney8842]

Wow! I completely get what your saying. I went and did this and my ball flight is much better.

[@iupab]

I must admit my first thought at the beginning of this video “not another over complicated confusing wrist hinge video” ! But having stayed with it it turned out to be the best “wrist hinge “ explanation I’ve watched ! Now it’s clear what all the “extension, ulna deviations etc head talk” actually means to the golf swing! Refreshing to hear some actually teach as opposed to just hearing themselves talk.

[@richardjohnson9702]

Same here .. What really helped me was the frontal and down the line view, simultaneously displayed on the video.. Looks like the path is already headed left from down the line view while the frontal view looks dead on square... This, changed my whole viewpoint on release and it just clicked... I already had the wrist motion and the two views, simultaneously, REALLY helped... Thank you sir...

[@david135-6]

Hi Rob, really appreciated this, never understood the wrist action and this is really helping put some pop on the ball. I typically make solid contact but never had great compression. Now I'm experiencing it. But I want to point out another positive benefit not given enough attention. By keeping the wrist flat on the takeaway, it naturally keeps the right elbow in the down position. The flying elbow has always been my problem. Proof? Hold a an open elbow at top of back swing, then flatten your wrist. The elbow is naturally forced down. In my practice, it seemed during the backswing, the left wrist and right elbow, improbably, work as a key team.(like much about golf, not intuitive!). Just my two cents, seems the right wrist is dominant at the beginning, then somewhere near the top, right forearm/elbow takes over. Anyway, my evaluation may be off, but your video put me on a correct path with a very valuable lesson. Many thanks!

[@SnxadaNx]

Hi Rob it’s been an enjoyable journey relearning the game from your videos. Your clear description of wrist movement has been a light bulb moment. And I am now feeling confident about my technique.

[@mikeschmidt1591]

I’m 72 years old, was a plus 3 in my 50s, now a 4.7, and have studied the golf swing for 40 years….was a professional baseball player and was also a baseball swing student…..I was a wrist hitter in baseball, not a core oriented hitter, and I unfortunately brought the wrist hinge to my golf swing and have suffered from it for over 30 years….at the top of my backswing my club crosses the line as my left wrist cups and the downswing gets thrown off plane….as an older golfer I now have trouble compressing the ball and hitting a draw shot….you have nailed my problem….I will challenge myself to get the proper wrist position through the swing from here on…I’ve subscribed…..thanks

[@tomzani2976]

I keep going back to this. As far as I can tell, this is the only video that describes wrist action in the golf swing in this fashion. All others talk about cocking of wrists. I am so pleased with your videos. They are detailed but extremely helpful. I watch them all. I was a decent ball striker before and your videos have really helped my understanding of the swing! Thanks!!

[@tveitras]

Awesome video- I’ve struggled with the concept of what my wrists should be doing for a long time. Took it to the range and saw instant results.
