First time seeing someone explain the right rist hinge. Genius!

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you!

[@kimgallagher6254]

Michelle is a genius, explains it so well. Thats why I subscribed

[@gc2696]

Hundreds of books have repeated the same INCORRECT assumption about the right wrist ...as she is doing now.

[@Nigel999]

Wow! After all the golf swing videos I have seen, this is the first time that anyone has explained this fundamentally important part of the golf swing so perfectly. I tried this at the range today and I was hitting the ball so solid it was unbelievable. It also helped me avoid my ‘toe strikes’ that have plagued my golf game for such a long time. This is Holy Grail stuff, thank you so much Michele.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you! So happy to hear that!

[@yudashyu5057]

I've been bothered by the toe shots for some time and still can't fix it. I'll try this to see if it works for me also.

[@shep1102]

Very good honest insight and for free. Better than paying a teaching pro £50 to watch you smash balls all over the place , then to say , you need to move the ball back in your stance.

[@dr.gordon420]

Completely agree

[@josurke]

How early in the takeaway do you hinge?

[@leeloopatsy]

Been playing for 32 years and it’s the first time I hear someone talking about how to hinge correctly in such a clear way. Took me a couple of practice sessions but now i got it and I made amazing progress. Thank you so much Michele.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

So glad! Thank you

[@YLwortel]

So glad i saw this video. Very clearly explained.

[@SL0409]

Baffles me how anyone can play golf for 20/25/30 years and not know basic fundimentals about the game. Watch 1 10 min video and suddenly massively improve their game

[@jasontiong3383]

This tip itself costs me RM100 yet you’re giving it out for free. Much respect and keep up the great work Michele!

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you! Hope it helps

[@johnangwin]

For years I’ve had difficulty with the take away… especially visualizing it so I can move toward a proper swing. This video was exactly what I needed. Just got back from the driving range… had my best shots ever! Thanks and videos coming!

[@terrydiachun77]

This might be one of the best videos on the fundamentals affecting many people in their game. I will put this in save and watch before I play for quite a while. Thank you.

[@Wolfie565]

Hi Michele, I have played golf for about 25yrs I'm 56 and play off 7 and for the last 10 years I have really struggled with understanding what the correct take away and hinge is. I have always thought it was how you described it but have mostly just hinged it up and turned giving me mixed results. After watching the video and how you simply, piece it together, without all the technical jargon of radial/ulnar deviation with pronation, deviation, supination..... I went to the range today and applied what you explained and the results were what I hoped. Good crisp striking of the ball.... thank you. All I need now is to be able to chip well. X

[@michelelowgolf7501]

So happy to hear that!!! Keep up the good work

[@kristenlee582]

I wish I could take back all of the money spent with coaches and give it to you. I couldn’t spend any more money on these coaches that didn’t progress me and turned to KZbin university and it’s you that I found. Best coach ever!

[@johnburnett3942]

Best discription of the hinge I have ever seen. Been playing 40 years. Thank you.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@madhur732]

Nice and simple detailed explanation without unnecessary talk.

[@taylornovis4851]

Great instruction on hinging and keeping it simple. Helped my ball striking with all clubs. I can feel the club head so much better now...

[@paulwelsh9325]

This is so much detail it’s sheer brilliance. I was always told fingers on right hand . Thank you the grip feels more powerful to strike ❤️

[@johnmcgrath9596]

You are the best instructor I have ever seen straight to the point and it all makes sense I have seen a ton of videos yours is the best period

[@e.g.flores2819]

You explain very well, thank you so much.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@aresbe]

Michele ~ Simply put, unlike others, your instruction tells and shows me what, why, when, and how I should do it. I'm a much-improved golfer as a result. Thanks and walk in beauty.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

So happy to hear that you got something out of it. Thank you

@@michelelowgolf7501 great video , would you please include a video about exercises to increase golf power ; thank you .

[@user-rl8wl4rk5n]

you have an incredible ability to describe each segment of the swing, and make it quite easy to follow. I agree with others here that you are the best I have ever seen as an online coach on the mechanics of grip, takeaway and hitting the ball. Thank you

[@kennethbraun1568]

Absolutely one of the best instructional videos I have seen. Clear, concise and not difficult to implement. Thank you so much Michele! Look forward to seeing your other videos.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@JackB1980]

I’ve watched weeks worth of KZbin Golf videos. This was the single, most impactful overview of something I’ve never gotten quite right. Always questioned where my wrists should be at the top of the backswing, you made it CRYSTAL clear. Huge help, thank you!!

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you. So glad

[@geraldtan8537]

What a good, clear explanation of the correct way to grip the golf club. The right hand grip being more on the palm than the fingers results in a weaker grip of the right hand. This then results in the combined right/left hand grip being rather like the "butterfly" grip that some instructors recommend. A slightly weaker right hand grip also makes it better able to balance the club at the top of the swing, and promotes a correct angle of the shaft at the top of the swing. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. It is much appreciated. Yours is one of the best explanations of how to grip the golf club.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@gnatavio]

You are the best teacher yet, less bark and more wag.

[@texasdroneranger1345]

Wow what a great lesson! I have been playing golf for 45 years and I learned more in the last 7 minutes than you can imagine! Your simple explanations have answered many questions I have thought about. As a 5 handicapper that wants to break par again these tips will help me be more consistent. Thank you Michele!!

[@BRUCE2W]

Can't tell how much this lesson helped, I've been dragging the club back for a wider backswing .wish I saw this video sooner !! THANK YOU

I have watched thousands of golf instruction videos, this lesson is one of the very best…thank you Michelle

[@michelelowgolf7501]

[@MeconiumStorm]

Michele... this is the BEST video I've ever seen covering the subject. Very, very well done, from the verbal descriptions to the camera work. This is especially high praise coming from me (a turbo MGTOW, incel, all around misogynist).

[@aldengold8817]

Michelle I agree with everyone. Never heard it explained this thoroughly and clearly.! Thank you very much. It’s so important!

[@DonIrvin-fb4on]

I agree with @Nigel999. Of the hundreds and hundreds of golf videos I’ve watched, this is the best description of how the wrist hinge functions in the golf swing. Can’t wait to get to the practice range tomorrow. Thanks Michele!!

[@dianej1949]

Very good. Thanks.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@tpgolfnet]

二十多年前学高球時，教練教上桿是分四段教，现在的是将上桿分二段教，簡化简单是好的，説清楚些就是一直重複着非常重要的就是上桿时不要將球桿面打開，要保持身體平行在學，這動作要練到熟，也要花不少時間，就是拿住桿子不去打球，光練上桿時桿面保持向地下，不打开朝上也要些歲月呀！THX LOW！

[@timpv]

The best wrist hinge and takeaway video I have seen by far! So much detail!!!!

[@MarieOrtmanPhoto]

THANK YOU so much for this video. I can’t believe how clear your instruction was and how much it helped me. I have been playing golf for over 26 years. I always hit it straight but only about 120-130 yards. Today after only watching your video a couple times, I increased my distance by 20-30 yards. So much that I now need to use totally different clubs for different distances now. Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos.

[@kankc1504]

This is the clearest explanation of the correct hinge direction of the wrists ! Good job! Michelle!

[@Tang.Nguyen]

Probably one of the most important sessions for the fundamental swings. Thanks Michelle!❤😊

[@vincentdobbins4189]

Thank you Michelle for your excellent golf instructions. I tried this today at the range and it really improved my iron strikes and my driver. I feel now that my right hand is an extension of the club face. Thank you again.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

So happy to hear that! Thanks

[@robdepo2346]

Excellent information. I tried this on the range today, and it's a game changer. I have never had such pure contact and distance ever before. I resumed playing golf 18 months ago after quitting 24 years ago because of frustrating golf , and this lesson inspired me to continue. I was on the verge of selling my clubs. Thank you very much.

[@dobuto23]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have never seen anyone explain the grip and how each wrist hinges so well before. The right hand grip explanation of having it more in the palm, or at the base of the pointer finger as you showed it, completely changed the feel of my entire swing.

[@ComfortNgcobo]

I've been struggling with a slice since I started playing golf. Making these changes to my swing changed everything. I'm now hitting it straight everytime. Thanks Michele

[@ronlandrum9632]

CRAZY GOOD thanks for slowing it all down and talking through it slowly step by step by doing this i have gained more distance and the feedback form my strikes feels much softer

[@theslimgolfer]

Thank you Michele.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@ChildoftheMostHigh1]

Michele, you are an amazing teacher and most likely person. I am going to focus only on the instruction in this video for a while and hopefully this will cure my frustration.

[@efrenpinedo9343]

I could not get any loft on anything above a 9 iron and forget about my driver. This is the simplest and best explanation of how to hold and what your wrists are supposed to do when swinging the club. Im fairly new to golf and other channels don't explain from the very beginning like this. Wrist hinge is explained simple and well.

[@lil-g4879]

After watching this video, I do the wrist and grip like this every time. It makes a massive difference. I play off 7 and I really think this will save a lot of miss hits.

[@TheDonzim]

Most of the comments of Micheles teachings is on how simple,or how well she explains her lessons. One thing I know is a lot of instruction on YT or elsewhere is they spend way too much time on what not to do than how to do it correctly. Its over processing and needless data. People want simple (KISS) on how to accomplish. People love her cause she connects with people with her clear ,concise and to the point method. Some people might prefer the "splitting the atom" tutorial hence paralysis by analysis. Ill take Micheles lessons hands down.

[@croosadabilia]

This has to be one of the best fundamental videos ever made 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@akaratrujirasettakul7367]

Thanks. You explained both hands clearly and concisely. Thanks a lot

Great class, instruction always simplified for us duffers. You are my best instructor. sorry I m bring the class average down[ or up for golf].

[@michelelowgolf7501]

I will do my best to help. I’m sure you can play well

[@Carsonsimon]

OMG...I actually love you...😄 I've watched countless videos on how to square the clubface etc... And felt like I had to roll and flick the club over through impact... Allways had a big slice waiting to happen... Only now have I suddenly realised that I was rolling and trying to hinge my wrists at the same time instead of just straight back like you said... No one has ever explained it easy like that before... Also the hinge of the wrist to check grip strength is gold...👌

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Hope it helps. Thank you

[@manceracu]

[@raidernation5237]

This has to be the best video ive ever seen. Ive been playing for 5yrs and my game goes from low/mid 80s to 90s on a month to konth basis 😂😂 and its always because my irons are so inconsistent. Saw this vid, drove to the range, and i was puring them

[@trade4yourdreams]

What an awesome teacher. I learn more from her than any other Pro out there.

[@lawofvisualization]

Thanks Michele. This is super helpful!

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thanks Johnny!

[@lgrobby2144]

This is a great video. I went through the stages and realised my hand at the top of my swing is not flat but slightly bent. I've tried this in the nets. I hit the ball so sweetly. I loved the instruction that you gave about pushing away from the body. It really helps me find that position. I just need to concentrate on the left wrist. Thanks Michele. Love your channel

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you so much! Keep up the good work

[@allenw9475]

This is the best video for my 10 years old boy to understand the both hands hinge! Thank you so much, Michele. I wish you could be my son’ s coach. 😊😊😊

[@bruiser4638]

This video absolutely changed my game ! All in the grip, for a right handed golfer, put it in the fingers of the left hand and the palm of the right as Michele instructed and it's changed my game. I'm hitting the ball straight and long. Thanks Michele!

[@DE-lt9kf]

I did some practice swings at home and sure enough i was more square and also had more shaft lean for some reason. I think the palm grip changes the orientation of the club enough to produce more shaft lean. I still have to take it to the range/gold course but i am definitely curious to how this can help.

[@mashortukiman9154]

Thanks Michell ,your explaination are awesome and my games are much much improved.Congratulation Michell.

[@namnguyen-tc5vt]

Michele, I've been watching your videos over and over again. You are a wonderful teacher. This video stands out. I've been playing golf many years and hinging has been problematic, especially with the right hand. You have explained the technique so well. I have learned so much from your videos. Please continue your good work. God bless.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@shirleylook9942]

I have never come across any you tube videos, and even in person coaching lessons, that explained and demonstrated left and right wrist hinge, and their effect on the swing so clearly. I have been playing for over 20 years and have always been confused by what hinging means, and when I ask other people, they all said something different. For me, I need to understand how it works in order to execute it. With your video, I can appreciate how the wrists should be hinged which makes it easier for me to correctly hinged at the top of the backswing which I could not do in the past.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you. Hope it helps :)

[@carboniluca1766]

Will try to follow your advice. Thank you Michelle!

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Hope it helps :)

[@ranchu69]

Finally, Michele solves the mystery of how the hands work on the backswing. The more I practise on this move, the easier and simple my swing becomes with just a hinge and a turn. And with this, the consistency of hitting the ball. Thanks for the great tip.

[@michelelowgolf7501]

Thank you

[@vicpower5034]

Just come across this video. As has been said by others, in all the years I've played golf nobody has explained the wrist hinge so clearly and in conjunction with the grip. It makes so much sense and I've just spent an hour in my living room practicing it and it's feeling more and more natural. I'm noticing that the club head is way further back with the same amount of body turn (I'm a senior golfer so not as subtle). Surely this will deliver way more clubhead speed. Can't wait to get down the range and to put this into practice. Thank you Michelle ... I think ... I hope.

[@Kj2024-d3i]

By far the best explanation on this by far 👌

[@IlliniDog01]

Really good stuff, and you are an excellent teacher. You should remind everyone in every video you do on the downswing, to start with that little bump forward with the left hip before rotating it. It's just one of those things you need to keep repeating over and over again for all those amateurs out there. That was a game changer for me and it keeps me from swinging over the top. Thanks for the great videos.
