I Couldn't Compress The Golf Ball Until I Made This Small Easy Tweak

[@reservcop]

Most productive video in years, it all comes down to palm facing down. Normally I will flush 4 out of 10 shots, now I just did 10 out of 10, can't thank you enough,

[@jchowngolf]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@misdit]

Very good instruction, thanks. A thought I use to achieve the correct right wrist position is to feel that I'm trying to play a shot from under overhanging trees and I'm therefore leading the club head with my hands, in order to keep the ball low.

[@richardr7434]

This is what Pete Cowan urges golfers to do, maintain the wrist hinge and apply pressure through the ball

[@epcalderhead]

Or "spin the right forearm down" and "turn it down" as Cowan says. This has helped me tremendously.

[@edwardmckallen98]

Palm down makes it simple and the divots you get are what you see the pros doing, great lesson🙏👍🏻

[@ianknight2053]

Thank you Jonathan. Another great drill.

[@jchowngolf]

Glad you enjoyed it Ian

[@liveslowlivesimple]

wouldnt this go against the idea of releasing the wrists through the swing? arent we supposed to be moving the wrists from extension into flexion to keep the club face square?

[@Joe_Dominates]

No. You’re still releasing the wrists through the swing but you’re targeting aligning the “mid-release” point with contact if that makes sense

[@paulmount1119]

Great idea/ video! I'll be practising it tomorrow!

[@anthonycollins9758]

Club speed 10 mph faster has improved the distance- not just the de-lofting / extension.

[@jchowngolf]

A big reason of the faster speed was the effect that wrist angles have on body rotation. Losing angle will cause a rotational stall, whereas keeping angle will result in a freer flowing rotation. Rotation moving through the ball along with good sequenced vertical force will lead to more speed 👍🏼

[@hounddog1381]

Great stuff thanks! Look forward to trying this. Your practice area looks good! Where did you get the net from?

[@jchowngolf]

Great to hear you enjoyed it. The net is called On Par 👍🏼

[@ianwilliams8032]

As we know most tour players launch at roughly -30% of static loft on every club . Great video

[@jchowngolf]

Absolutely. Lowering dynamic loft is huge

[@AnttiSavolainen-c3d]

gonna try it tomorrow! hooking a bit and this might help. Also might get stronger swing!

[@chelsea4393z]

Does this apply to the driver as well?

[@jchowngolf]

The right wrist is ideally still extended for driver but not as much as irons. Also depends on your club head speed. The more speed you have, the more you can extend the left wrist 👍🏼

[@chelsea4393z]

@@jchowngolfgreat, thank you! Very helpful

[@donlopezi2578]

Great video but how does this work in conjunction with releasing club. I often find I release too early or too late

[@jchowngolf]

This will hugely help with release the club too early 👍🏼

[@milanzare5289]

The timing is impeccable John😂🙏

[@jchowngolf]

Haha have a great time practicing!

@@jchowngolfI’m not even joking, I got loads of shaft lean after 5 halfswings with this feel🙏

[@jchowngolf]

Awesome!

[@steveperry1344]

i kinda have grooved this into my swing and have gained 10+ yards but my shots go really low, like my 5 iron goes 170yds now but only 20 feet off the ground. the other problem is my newer pxg clubs have +2 or +3 stronger lofts which is not helping. i hit the ball quite solid though.

[@RonKnicely]

Great video!!

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Ron!

[@edwardmckallen98]

Can you talk about the grip to get a better right wrist extension?

[@jchowngolf]

Make sure the right hand grip isn’t weak and you’ll be all good 👍🏼

[@omegabub123]

isnt the extra distance just from the extra 9mph club speed?

[@jchowngolf]

Most of it but not all of it. The faster speed is due to the maintenance of right wrist angle, which keeps the body rotating through the ball. Right wrist straightening will cause a stall out of rotation through impact which will dump the speed hugely. Another good reason to keep the right wrist extended 👍🏼

[@omegabub123]

@@jchowngolf interesting. That would likely explain my speed inconsistency when im swinging in the simulator. Thansk!

@@jchowngolf Wish you could of shown your wrist angle and [number +]..like you did for the earlier shots using that tool.

[@jdp1955x]

Same for the driver?

[@jchowngolf]

Depends on club head speed for driver. The more speed you have, the most right wrist extension you can have. A touch of right wrist extension with driver is functional for most 👍🏼

[@JotaJotaSTI]

Question, can they just make clubs that are less lofted so we don’t have to be a contortionist to hit the ball? lol

[@milanzare5289]

It’s also about where you low point is, if the swing arc is bottoming out at the ball your gonna have a hard time not thinning the ball. However, most of the game improvement sets are made with less loft for this exact reason☺️

[@jchowngolf]

Clubs have already been de-lofted a ton. For example, most modern 7 irons will be a similar loft to a 5 iron of 15 years ago. Not sure manufacturers can get away with de-lofting clubs more

[@pdsdownunder3010]

[@TicTaxx]

Nothing to do with how much faster you're swinging the club then?

[@jchowngolf]

Yes, which is due to freer rotation through impact due to the right wrist being extended. Stalling out rotation due to a flat right wrist (stalling out rotation from any causer) will cause a big drop in speed.

[@ms-uq9ft]

Why is your club speed slower on the first three shots?

[@jchowngolf]

Right wrist flexion will cause rotation to stall and speed to be dumped earlier in the swing, resulting in a lower club head speed

[@Robster6480]

Ridiculous. He is clearly swinging a lot faster in the second set of swings and that isn’t just down to his wrist position. I don’t have perfect wrist conditions and can still hit a 7 iron 170 yds.

[@jchowngolf]

I had the exact same speed intent on all sets of swings. Losing wrist angles is a huge speed dump for both club & ball speed

[@bassmasta9117]

The Prosendr is really good for this too. And on Amazon some company just came out with a "replica" version that is the exact same thing for only $25 instead of $170

[@mikeatback]

Im sure its better but why not just hit a 6 iron. Why deloft it?

[@kjking3087]

works with all clubs

[@miloradjelic7521]

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks bud

[@NA-hi7lx]

I want to see a clear explanation as to WHY something works, not just some blind faith that doing one thing is better than another. Also, there are TWO types (major) of swings out there. Always explain which one the advice applies to. (is there a name for these two different swings?)

[@Chris54321]

Classic, modern, stack and tilt, single plane, etc. Seeing golf tips from different methods has messed me up very badly. I asked another KZbin coach if he teaches classic or modern and he said kind of a mix of both. I guess one solution would be to only have/watch one coach, but make sure that coach is consistently teaching one swing, not little bits of 6 different swings. It drives me insane.

[@tonybarber420]

Is that morikawa in the thumbnail? No wonder they dude cant hit draws😂😂 i def. Dont advise having hands like that at impact/post impact

[@jchowngolf]

Face open to path is how he doesn’t hit draws 👍🏼

[@Kingoll1]

Excellent video. I have just been practicing this and it does seem to work. The key appears to be maintaining rotation through the ball, which I sometimes struggle with, and staying relaxed through impact. The arms have to follow the body. I also have an issue with early flexion of the wrist during the downswing, leading to fat shots. This move definitely reduces that tendency. The training aid is similar in principle to Greg Norman’s Secret. I purchased one a few years ago, but struggled to get on with it, due to my tendency to flip at impact. It works much better if you can avoid that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4uZYYGklsmMeM0si=hpZ1RHhUpdHzA1vL I also remember seeing a video by Tom Lehman demonstrating the G4 Swing Trainer. He advocated something like the motorcycle move, by turning down the knuckles through impact and maintaining wrist extension. He said bad things happen if you flip through impact and from personal experience he is right!
