I SiMPLY Fixed My Wrists Like This & It Solved My Hip Rotation Problems

Today I get a golf lesson to fix the wrists in the golf swing. With these wrist fixes on the downswing and transition, it helps me compress the ball and gets my hips open effortlessly. My golf coach Dana Dahlquist goes over the proper way to use golf swing kinematics to do this, and we also go over golf tips and drills to achieve all this.

These videos with Dana have helped my swing more than years of watching other videos. Nice job!

[@gardner4718]

oh i agree so much

[@jdat2488]

I love how honest Dana is about over thinking. And stopping Jerome from getting in his own way.

[@kj475]

Uncle Dana serving up life lessons. You're in good hands, Jerome.

[@sucalaminka]

[@tonyfrostad2730]

Jerome, back when I first started watching your adventure, I commented that your biggest problem was your mind getting in your way. That was a year ago ..... low and behold .... guess what ! You have all the ability to be a great golfer, STOP MICROMANAGING, RELAX AND HIT THE SHOT.

[@jonathanstephens3839]

This one of the absolute best golf lessons I’ve seen on KZbin. I will definitely practice this method to become a better striker of the ball.

[@secondbreakfastball]

lol you ask him the same question in 5 different ways and he's patient to answer each time

[@jorgeluisurbina9801]

I feel like this was Dana's "breaking point" episode with Jerome. He has told him fifty million times to keep it simple. His patience with him has been nothing but GOLD.

[@davidedwards1405]

The goal is to hit hooks and Jerome wants to hit perfect shots. He is totally attached to outcome, not learning the process. Dana is fantastic in refocusing him. Between Jerome and Brendan of Be Better Golf there are 2 people who don't live in the moment.

[@bjpickens1504]

You finally got a coach that's not bs'ing you with the full swing.

[@blindbhet]

I've never watched a youtube video longer than 10 mins. But I watched every minute of this since I struggle with this exact issue. All 49 minutes of this is worth more than I'll ever know. Dana is so articulate with every word and it just resonates with my long sought fix for my issues. And I'm a leftie. Thank you algorithm.

[@kevinmurphy8644]

Me toooo 😊

[@andyyyrl]

this is my issue too and its so relieving knowing that when you start doing it basically right, youre not gonna hit it perfectly, i hope youre able to fix it over these next few weeks

[@floater156]

Same here. Watching this makes me realize how bad my current instructor is.

[@antpalm8]

I struggled with the same feels to get the wrists right and using The Hanger training aid was a light bulb moment for me. Instantly had better wrist conditions and then started rotating properly. Highly recommend that one.

[@laogx4026]

LETS GO!! This again is pure gold. Thanks Jerome! and Thank you Dana!! Stay with the grind and trust the dojo master Dana, he is 100% giving solid pure gold. I hope to get a lesson with him as soon as my shoulder heals. I have been working on wedges and driver so much lately and I'm deep in the struggle right now. I've been using the pro-sender a lot and it has really helped with getting shaft lean and more rotation. Remember rotation still needs vertical extension like the toe to heel lead pushing force and getting taller through contact! I'm excited for the next video!

[@nunyo7259]

Club face is king! 5 handicapper and I’m still working on this CONSTANTLY. Very hard for me to do with driver.

[@amac8487]

Same man... The driver is my nemesis as well. Some days it's good (not great impact wise, but always in the fairway), and some days it's giving me penalty drops. Im a 10 HDCP, and by eliminating my penalties off the tee box would easily drop me a few points

[@nunyo7259]

Another banger! Also- petition to get Jerome more than 1 shirt, feel like we always see him wearing his blue outfit 😂

[@dalyje]

this is by far the greatest golf lesson video i have ever seen - excellent stuff jerome, and dana!

[@thomasplaster155]

"you can't be comfortable and change"... so true!

[@timothypollock8358]

Those are definitely the keys to ball striking. What's interesting is that you are coming full circle back to Mike Wydra's ONE DRILL video concerning the proper wrist delivery of the club into the ball (there's a punch shot in every golf shot). Mike does it differently because he drops down steeply in the downswing and then gets the wrists in the right position to get the natural draw and power produced by hands ahead, lead wrist in flexion. This shows that there is more than one way to get there but the effect through impact is the same. As Mike explained, these wrist positions get the hands ahead at impact, the club workting inside out, and the club descending into impact (for an iron), with the face squaring to the arc all through this one mechanism. It's pure magic for the golf swing! It is also one of the biggest keys to effortless power. I am very happy to see this coming into your swing, Jerome. Cheers.

[@NickOnPar]

More coaches are teaching the same things than you would think, just communicating it differently

[@markbarlow9955]

As a coach I love the way this coach coaches 😝

[@ronalddakake6413]

I figured this out on the range today before I watched this and It confirmed everything I was looking for. Unlocked rotation and shaft lean. This is a necessary in the golf swing. Thanks!

Man, that is one good coach. Love his calm authority over his obvious wealth of knowledge. His instructional clarity with simple language is superb.

[@raymondtorres659]

Awesome coaching, giving reassurance not based off good or bad contact but good execution of drills. No wonder he’s known as the best!

[@mikeupchurch1462]

Hands-down the best lesson video I've seen. Simplify, set appropriate expectations, let outcomes drive process. Perfect.

[@Ugot2BkddnMe]

The pearls of wisdom Dana was providing caused me to pause the video, head out to my yard, pull out a wedge and take a few (15) swings while focusing on keeping my left wrist (right handed golfer here) rotated left. Results: WOW!!!! Impact... AMAZING! Compression... AMAZING! Ease of swing... AMAZING!!! Distance with my wedge... HOLY MAC!!! ok, i'm subscribing right now.

He's a perfect match for Jerome. His patience is godlike and his biggest challenge is getting him to stay out of his own way. Great lesson and good simple (but advanced) stuff too.

[@Heyweb]

Thank you DANA!!! This is the most helpful teaching I’ve seen on wrists, rotation, and squaring the club face! After some practice I went out and shot -2 on the front 9! My lowest score ever on my home course! The back 9 was a work in progress but the gains were amazing! Thanks for sharing this content with us!

[@jeannebowen-sv8lo]

Remarkable if you only knew how close you are but you still have to get there. You effort is tremendous and the courage is your talent so trust that because I think most of us can see how far you've come but the blind man never sees himself. If he did he still wouldn't even recognize it or more likely want to compare. Thank's for doing such a committed service and you find a tremendous source in Mr. Dan Dahlquist he's been so generous with sharing golf content for awhile with humility. Really hope you get a moment to just realize you can allow yourself to be a great ball striker, we won't mind.

[@77bovi]

❤ love this lesson so much. 1 thing is you ask the same questions I would and your brain is always thinking. Which Dana handles so well. Dana understands why u ask and that on 1 hand less thought is better but that giving you an answer or even just assurance would help your buy-in. ❤

This one lesson alone changed golf for me. Hitting effortless flush shots with my irons back to back to back, I’ve never done. Just need to keep up on the practice. Holy smokes! (12 years of golf, that wrist angle and not thinking about my hips did it) keep up the work and bidsy

[@amac8487]

What a great lesson. I really like this coach. You did great Jerome. I too agree that you are likely overthinking it…. Likely because it doesn’t “feel good”. After watching this lesson, I went to the range and mimicked everything that was said. it sure feels foreign, and most all my balls were going left and low (exactly what he wanted). This obviously isn’t an ideal ball flight and not something that looks or feels good or can play good golf with, but it’s a stepping stone. I’ve realized you have to be uncomfortable in order to get comfortable in the correct position. Stick with the process! My compression has already improved , and will continue to practice these wrist angles until I don’t have to consciously think about it

[@davenelson7546]

1 million times YES!! Watched twice, took to range with PW and 1 WD. Instant compression and divots that I've dreamed of for 30 years.I have always been a picker of the ball due to breakdown at impact. Still a decent golfer (12 handicap) regardless. But the explanation about squaring club face halfway down clicked and the body just does it's thing. Driver was a bit different, once I started playing with pacing I started striping it one after another. Best lesson I ever had! Thank you so much Dana!

[@kevinwalton6767]

What did you do to correct for Driver? What do you mean pacing?

[@brianknotts7750]

Coach Dana makes this amazingly simple. He says to practice hitting it straight and hook it low drawing left. Obviously one can’t play that way. Implied that’s a drill and more to come. Where does coach explain how to fix low hook? Is it just more lateral hip shift and turn hips more? Sounded like he was gonna do a lesson on helping straighten this big hook out. Cheers -Brian

[@WindigoMac]

The low hook is caused by face being overly shut to path and dynamic loft taken off the club. He wants the low hook cause it would mean Jerome is flexing his lead wrist aggressively enough. Once that feel is ingrained in more rotation and a slightly less aggressive wrist would straighten it out. Was my understanding of the video at least

[@keith4k617]

Dana has the patience of a saint to keep redirecting you when you won’t just listen to him and the point he’s trying to get across

[@sucalaminka]

it’s harder to comprehend in person when you’re trying to focus on a million different things, communicate, and perform. i’ve taken many lessons with dana and watching on youtube vs being there in person is very different. consider that.

[@hiddenbunny7205]

Dana might have explained better for you to understand, but this whole idea was already there in your first "HOF" coach Mike's lessons, but you didn't know enough to understand it at the time. And Dana fixed the swing mechanics things before you get to this point. From the beginning, there is no "hand flipping" thing as you called it back then. Active releasing is impossible to be consistent with. It happens because of the centrifugal force when you rotate.

[@laogx4026]

Good point, its like learning things have to hit you multiple times before it starts to make sense. Could you link that first vid your talking about?

[@ivwshane]

Omg! On my own journey I feel like I’m doing the same things I was doing when I first started but because I didn’t have a full understanding of everything I couldn’t put everything together. In this video Dana is talking about bowing the wrist (there is a better term but I forgot it) and I was already doing that but I stopped doing it because I thought I wasn’t supposed to. Now that I have a freer swing and my timing is correct I guess I can go back to the wrist bend and continue working on getting my lead hip back and rotated. Golf is frustrating as Shit! But when you go from hitting your 7 iron 145 to 160 and the occasional 170…it gets addicting.

[@johnballard7593]

You’re absolutely right. I even found the video from 9 months ago with his old swing coach giving the same instruction. Funny that Jerome is wearing the same shirt in both videos. I like Dana’s teaching style more because he focuses Jerome on the correct inputs, even when Jerome wants to detract with new swing thoughts.

[@sauldmark7942]

honestly, big thanks to you and Mike Wydra and the driver video you did with him. I had a eureka moment about allowing the hands move further ahead at impact. it's really helped my game. I had a wrong mental image of keeping the hands back to promote hitting up on the ball. I see some similar ideas here in this video and am glad it's clearing up some of your issues with the hips and the hands. you're not the only one.

[@stewartkrug7411]

Thanks!

[@gettingbetterateverything7172]

JR, simple feel for me. At the top, maintain wrist structure and just extend the right elbow towards the camera as you turn. Will turn the face down to where Dana wants it and your pivot will keep the flex in your wrists. Dont try do it in the wrists itself. It’ll happen. 🙌🏻

[@themusketeer9458]

Having a stronger grip i think helps with not having to bow too much, can have a more neutral wrist thay way

[@maeu59]

Yes, guys like Malaska and Clement will tell you bowing is a very weak position, and the excess spinning of the hips is not good either.

[@kennethlau8108]
