LEARN HOW TO HIT A DRAW // Clubface & Wrist Angles to Fix a Slice

Andrew Rice Wrist Angles video: • Wrist Angles for Bette...
Ian and Matt work on learning to hit a draw in their opposite hand swing by working on a proper clubface and wrist relationship. See how setting the face square and rotating can allow you to deliver a square clubface consistently - and in turn finally allow you to swing in to out and hit a draw.

This channel is for the golf obsessed. I love it!

[@jginda1]

Guys this is the single best swing key I have been given in years. I’m a long hitter who has been suffering from tendinitis in my left hand (I’m a righty) it’s been getting better but I’ve lost distance since coming back and my swing has felt finicky. I just absolutely striped 150 balls at my old distance with a better dispersion than I have in my life. Thank you so much…oh and no hand pain the entire time. Absolutely insane.

[@lukedevos8388]

TXG = best in the business

[@ewatkins6579]

Wow! I had given up on golf several years ago because i just didn't enjoy going out and STRUGGLING to break 100. Now, my 7 y/o son is golf-obsessed, so I've been creeping back into it. I love your gear and fitting videos and thought I would take a look at this one too as my miss has always been right, and I've never been able to draw the ball. I took this to the range this afternoon, and the difference was unbelieveable from basically the very first shot. I'm not turning pro any time soon, but at 42, I can honestly say that was probably the best and most consistent I've struck the golf ball in my life. It didn't cure every swing, but it definitely made a HUGE difference, and it was pretty cool to hear my son saying, "Oh my God, Dad. You hit that one so far!" You guys (and Andrew) pretty much made my day! This is something I'll definitely keep working on!

[@Jaywil765]

OMG i just tried this last night {closing club face on takeaway} at the driving range yesterday and it had unbelievable results . My ball speed went from 145 to 160mph i was carrying the ball about 220 before and a slice. I hit one last night 280 carry 🤷‍♂️👍👍👍😊😊, i would advise everybody that has a slice to give it a go. Not all my shots were great but i just kept at it SUPER video

[@timbozarth6573]

This series where you guys are playing opposite handed than your normal is great. The tip where you show how to roll the knuckles under made an instant improvement in my ballstriking. I have struggled my whole golfing life with an open face and this fixed it in minutes. THANK YOU! while I am not hitting Draws, I am hitting it dead straight now. Please continue this series with working the ball, Hi, Lo, left & Right. Love your show.

[@andreaechevarria6725]

Just when I thought this channel couldn't get any better you drop this on us. Absolute gold. Gained a few extra yards doing this. Not bad for an old lady.

[@clubchampionmedia]

👍👍🚀🚀

[@ianfrasergolf]

Love it Andrea!!! Good for you for giving it a try!! 👏🏻

[@MurphyGreg]

All I can say is...wow. How is it possible that your content gets better when it is already world class. Love it

[@carterkole9677]

Always a fantastic Tuesday when you seen TXG uploads

[@kylehansen2156]

You guys primarily do equipment related videos but this is the best golf instruction video on KZbin for the greatest amount of golfers.

[@Murf1802]

Two Gentleman ,,humble ,considerate ,and extremely knowledge with the game of golf!!! Ty guys for your help !! I steal your quotes constantly so ty!!!

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thank you Kevin!! 👍🏻

[@TC-ps9sd]

I can’t thank Ian enough for this tip. After over 30 years of rolling my hands over in my backswing, I’m now hitting my irons so much more solid, and my drives go lower with more punch. I’m pretty excited to hit the ball so much better.

[@Steve-a-Reno15]

Top quality instruction video! Thanks guys!

[@thepicknpops]

Guys! Cannot thank you enough for this tip. This video had an enormous positive effect on my game. After working hard to get a nice subtle in to out swing path, I have battled and battled with an inability to get the club face closed and was hitting thin pushes. This video was so clear and concise and made so much sense to me that I was able to implement it on the course all most straight away and I haven’t seen such pure strike, high launch angles and nice shot shapes in months and months! Enjoyed golf today more than I have in so long. Amazing work!

[@samuelchoisamchoi714]

This is my issue! This video has been a revelation but haven't had a chance yet to put it to practice. Pushes all day lately and its a club face issue!

[@growthwithjair]

Clubbing fitting, product knowledge, course play vlogs, AND swing lessons?!!! B E S T golf channel on KZbin. Hands down. Props and love from the Bay Area, CA. Keep doing you Ian & Matt...it’s working and resonating with us.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thanks Jonathan!! 👍🏻

[@dewbach1]

These boys know their onions. Love watching these guys showing us the script in fine detail

[@GracefulShanks]

Described me to a T. Serial cut/slicer that has plateau'd as a 12 handicapper for last 5 years. I could hit a draw only by timing my wrists and hips on the downswing with unreliable success. Went to the range to try this out and it was night and day difference in ball flight. Now I just to need reps and hopefully I can begin to creep into the 70s next year. Thanks guys!

[@joedoaks6517]

Excellent video, gentlemen. This is the very thing I have been working on for the past 2 months. Thank you.

[@kevinwiessner2951]

Nice! Exactly the thing/feeling I’ve been working on this year. Always been a cutter of the golf ball and this is my key to more solid ball striking. Great to see and add to the channel.

[@albinobluesheep]

The idea of "organize the club face early on" (6:50) is exactly what my instructor had my change in my last lesson! Worked like a charm! I was a habitual slicer, then he adjusted my take way so I could go more in-side-out on my follow through, but after a while (a few months) my miss turned into a duck-hook or a push fade. He said I was manipulating the club face WAY too much, and organizing the club-face and setting it during my back swing, instead of trying to "flip" it at the right time drastically improved my consistency.

[@virgilmaralit7817]

This was a really nice video, love how you included us in the process and the camera angles plus seeing the shots that aren’t perfect. Thanks!

[@arklowrockz]

That is a really awesome thing to do. To deliberately make yourself to go back to square one. You now empathize with the plebs. Nice one!!

[@adamatallah6605]

Just watched this for the first time yesterday and this is easily one of the best golf videos on the internet. I've watched a lot of them and after taking this tip to the driving range I am seeing my inconsistently struck high fade into a consistent draw. I've got to work on my timing a bit but this will completely change my game for the better once I lock my timing in. I imagine that the timing will be much easier now that I'm not cupping my wrist which was leading to a lot of wrist action at impact. Thank you so much, guys! I can't wait to take this out on the course.

[@dswilsonuscg]

Why has no one ever explained that before! Major lightbulb!! Thanks guys.

[@gray_1x]

your videos are honestly amazing guys

[@mb28540]

I thought that this series might be silly, but I really love watching your journey. I love your attitudes and openness about performance being key beyond brand. I love watching your channel.

[@jonathonsomers7292]

Awesome video TXG been trying to work on a more repetitive draw shape thanks for the tips

[@johntemplin7100]

Awesome classic boys , well done and thankyou

[@timseebold2355]

Great piece! Loved the break down, result area impressive too! 👍

[@stuartholmes6262]

Ian described me perfectly. As a 50 year old trying to unlearn things I was taught way back when and do things properly is very hard.

[@rufussthoo4083]

Same here Stuart, only I have an extra 10 years of doing things 'wrong'. Unlearning 45 years of embedded learning has not been easy.

[@sinaazimi7328]

This is a great tip for anyone who wants to fix their slice. I took a lesson last week and my coach told me the exact same thing. Wrist position of the lead arm in the take away and backswing determines your club face angle (open or close). fix that and you will fix the slice.

[@ransomcreech3995]

Thanks for the video guys. I’ve been playing for about 8 months and was working on the range the other day and realized I was doing this. I had a lot of wrist flex up at the top of my swing and it was nearly impossible to prevent the massive slice. Made it more bowed and immediate improvement.

[@7777mantle]

Another great video your content continues to get better and better. Thank you for all of the information you share

[@zacknewman6697]

I hit a super high fadeand love it. I struggled with the low hook for EVER! these wrist angles are the everything and I didnt even think about it for the longest time. Its simple but it will really take your game to the next level

[@ginomorena5875]

Very nice fellas!!! I started learning the how to bow my left wrist about 10 months ago and my game has improved greatly. It really does make it simple. Once you bow at the top then it’s all hips through the ball. I do appreciate the tip on bowing your wrist as your take away. It can be difficult timing wise to do that at the top of your backswing.

[@KlokStudios]

Man you guys are awesome, I can't wait to try this so simple and easy to understand.

[@kennethlin]

Great video! I've been using this technique all season and love the draw shape and consistent contact that's resulted! 👍

[@ryaneames3834]

I am now looking up the Andrew Rice golf school and planning a trip to Savannah. Lovely!

[@DeValera22]

Savannah is a wonderful place...so much to enjoy, see, eat...and play golf!

[@whogg0521]

Such a good perspective. When I am struggling with sequencing, I focus on the lead arm and slowwwww down. Amazing the results. Hope you all are well!!

[@alantgraham]

What a brilliant discussion, awesome!

[@randallsiedschlag1036]

looking forward to trying this. just got tour van fitted to the 0211s from PXG and hoping to learn some shot shaping in my scoring irons. Thanks for the tips! I have been working on my swing plane with the Planemate and think this wrist work will finally put me over the top!

[@jonathanbailey2177]

Fantastic insights with every video!

[@stuartbarclay1134]

Just found this video really helped me this weekend👍

[@randynaylor27]

Such a different takeaway than what I’ve always tried to get. But looks like a swing change worth making! And thanks for the link to Andrew Rice. Now I just have to put all this good info into practice so I can make it second nature for use when I play!

[@dukefan127]

The instructional content is great guys. Keep it up.

[@Proof2k21]

Incredible vid guys. Breaking old habits to create positive results👍🏻

[@spoderman8351]

Thank you for this video! I played baseball growing up and it formed some really bad wrist habits that I’ve been working on for a while. Huge help!

[@Boss302ATC]

I took a tip from the Donovan video, I am too open on the take away too, I find that works better than major grip changes. Thanks boys!

[@ricblic901]

really good lesson, I actually started doing this after watching how the really good players swing, how they take the ball away from the club, thanks

[@paulwebendorfer5627]

Matt with the right-hand club and Ian with the left-hand club is really messing me up. Thanks for the great content guys... really enjoy the videos and learn a lot!

[@charlieodom9107]

yeah...I kept saying "aren't you guys on the wrong sides?"

[@ar_x7]

I used to hit a hook but as of recently I've been hitting a push shank. Great time for this video to come out

[@edbanks4625]

Another great video. I’ve just started to really concentrate on strike in practice. Really focusing on where face is (true neutral) in the takeaway is really beneficial. Strike, ball flight, distance all tightens up. Makes the rest pretty simple!

[@gizit16]

Cant wait to watch this video!! Hopefully it helps!

[@marcbremner9407]

Love this! In my opinion, one of, if not the best golf instructor ever in Canada (my opinion), was Jack Westover. Taught himself to swing left handed to better grasp the true challenge of learning how to golf from zero to be able to understand the progression correctly. Great teacher! You guys are on the right path!

[@IT-li3ul]

All I can add to this is ...in to out club path ,,hitting down on the ball ,,,and bowed wrists ,,,all this helped me 👍

[@glanemann]

Perfect timing for this video. I just had my clubs regripped with jumbo grips which are the proper grip size for my hands. And I had in my head to make sure to keep the wrist straight even more in as I remember seeing Dustin Johnson with his wrist being bent way in. And just by doing that and with the new grips, I was hitting draws 250+ yards. I never draw the ball but just keeping that wrist bent inward has definitely helped me to hit a draw. I hope in a few more weeks it will be nice enough outside to get out there on the course and see if I can replicate the hits I was making on the simulator.

[@paulkoppenheffer5323]

Great point about tilts and turns. In an attempt to hit up on the driver more, I started tilting, rather than turning approaching impact. Took me a long time to male it a serviceable tee ball swing.

[@carolgiles6608]

Brilliant. Makes me feel like i can do what you just did. Thanks guys🌈 stay safe

[@dillonwest9134]

This may be the best video I’ve seen yet from you all, with respect to my game. I roll my wrists naturally and I typically square it up, but consistency is an issue. Snap hooks are my big miss, perhaps because I’m trying to save it at the end. Thanks!

[@danielcouser6452]

Great series this

[@TheSinistercr0c]

Absolutely THE best video you guys have done in terms of knowledge around manipulating the club face to change the flight and shape of shot. Me and my mate have pieced together this view of using wrist angles correctly from several online sources but this video puts it across perfectly and reinforces our belief that we're getting a better more consistent swing and thus strike. Thankyou for a very informative video.

[@ianfrasergolf]

👍🏻

[@scottyking8908]

Thank you guys for this video!!! Immediate results. I have been struggling with a straight push and could never get it to turn back.

[@larrymorris9260]

Great video guys I’m a left hander and have struggled with a severe slice my entire life especially the driver hopefully I can put this information to good use

[@vikrampitre2343]

At 11.40 moving the club closer to the thigh has completely changed my strike and reduced the over the top swing and improved my target alignment. The wrist angle was correct but I was pulling it left (rh golfer). Love more of these golf lessons 👏

[@samuelchoisamchoi714]

This is such incredible information, a little advanced but I think if people watch it enough it'll bring some breakthroughs in their game.

[@DavidSmith-lo7wf]

Great job as always 👍 I have definitely been seeing and trying to work more on the wrist angles this year with some success (when I focus on it). I definitely fell in the category of learning the "toe to the sky" takeaway fault...

[@richardsdiaz1]

great video! Passing this along to a few people i know who really need this!

[@felipepacheco7655]

Very effective tip!

[@swingking83]

This is amazing. Something I’m gonna pass along to others

[@jeremyk5193]

what a great tip. thanks

[@robgreenspan9389]

Very helpful!

[@DaNnYElLoCO23]

Thanks so much for this! I have hit my irons really well (even 3-wood) but I struggle keeping driver strikes straight or hitting a draw even while using a very strong grip. Usually end up way right (on the other fairway) or hugging the right rough/fairway. Going to try this little adjustment. Cheers!

[@jwilliams6732]

Thank you for doing some swings vids.

[@edipocarvalho100]

Can’t wait to try this

[@christopherfarrell3333]

I see a lot of people asking for the fade video, which I’m sure you will do at some point , but I think you guys should keep things in order with what YOU guys are working on in your swings. If the next thing you guys work on is path or sequencing then that should be the next video. It would give people trying to improve a plan on how they should go about correcting their mechanics. A lot of people don’t understand where to start when trying to change mechanics. Keep’en coming either way, appointment content.

[@zachmoss2599]

Looking forward to a follow up Fade video hopefully!

[@golf007sd2]

Solid info gents...thx!

[@4a.m.wakeupcall588]

Great video shared on Facebook. If people can see someone hit opposite hand well there is no reason they can't hit their own natural swing well!

[@oroths]

I learned about wrist angels a couple years back from my swing coach and I don't see this being highlighted by any of the top golf youtubers. I think this will be a game changer for most golfer if they understand this.

[@implicitzen1262]

awesome vid guys. My golf coach is great, but he is a firm believer of grip is the easiest solution to a slice and it just hasn't completely solved my problem. I'm looking forward to trying this out at the range and seeing what results I can get.

[@myleshancock9164]

Gents, I think you may have solved my timing problem. I've been flipping the wrists all the way in the backswing. I like to hit a draw but when my timing's off its a push. Will try this on the range tomorrow. Much thanks! 🙏🙏🙏

[@TrevorDandy.]

Those strike patterns though hahahaha! I just rewatched the "Value driver" video and Matty absolutely buttoned 5 in a row with his TSi and then I rewatched this. I'm having a good chuckle at how beat up the bottom of that T400 is gonna look

[@petertamburro6578]

Awesome. I just had a lesson and was instructed to do the same

[@edipocarvalho100]

Tried this today honest to GOD I’m a 24 HC... fixed my slice better ball flight better contact swing feels more balanced since I’m not trying to fight a slice and shot a 94 to tie my lowest round. Still have to keep practicing it but well on my way JUST WOW Thank you Matty and Ian real MVPs. Going to mail you boys some whiskey ! Huge fan

[@joshcarnevale6943]

Hey Guys, Great videos, love that your going into more of the swing dynamics, would it be possible to get a video on the proper way to grip the club? I feel especially with junior golfers that the grip is where alot of amateurs struggle with. Keep up the great work.

[@robbotronomer]

I've recently watch this video along with a good good lab's video and taking tips from them both I have started to hit nice draws with my irons, I just struggle to hit a draw with my driver now

[@mujarice]

Really cool. Ian helped me tremendously at the TXG Sessions in Orlando with the same thing. Really cupping my wrist with the driver. Changed how I thought about the swing. Thanks buddy!

[@ianfrasergolf]

Great to hear Matthew!! 👍🏻

[@ryanknight8186]

Matthew are you doing the same turning of your knuckles under on your backswing with your driver?

[@mujarice]

@@ryanknight8186 initially. overcompensate and make the change. It's mellowed to a neutral position now

[@cjlafleur7585]

I'm in agreement with you guys on the grip. I think the grip is vastly overstated. I actually think the grip doesn't matter very much.

[@Jameeli]

Ok Ian and Matty - officially not buying new irons till i can fly in and get a fit from you guys - the content is more like applied science! Any early subscriber discount :)

[@markwitchell102]

Push slice all my life, tried this exact thing a few weeks back. Feels wrong and back to front at first, definitely a few snap hooks at first but kept practicing it and now my normal shot is a slight draw. Had never hit a draw before. Has only worked with the irons, still can’t get the driver figured out. Great video guys👍

[@kevinbooth8194]

Great content guys I play with a strong grip and hit it straight or a pull draw and loosing distance I'm going to try this at the driving range this arvo

[@ipotato95]

Great video on the draw but also very nice reverse side swings!

[@swisstrader]

Tried this today and it’s definitely a game changer. I was always a decent ball striker but this literally adds 10-15 to my irons. Big issue for me is getting the follow through right, meaning i tend to hook the ball if I don’t follow through w hands high. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Also, are you guys suggesting you keep the wrist down THROUGHOUT the swing or just when you start the downswing? This is GOLD!!

[@chriselerick4770]

tyler mcghie gave me that knuckle down feel in one of our lessons. it didn’t work very well for me at the time, but now i think the face is in a good position so maybe it did end up working in the end. it’s a strange feeling!

[@sethlyon2841]

This is literally what I am working on at the moment.....now time to try it left handed

[@NaSolid]

This is pretty funny, this was the swing change I did a couple days ago to fix my open face that started since I switched to jumbomax grips. Though my image going up is driving a motorcycle and wanting to accelerate.

[@robh316]

Hells bells guys I've been trying to stop hitting across the ball watched all sorts had lessons nothing worked until I tried this, ball flight is straight now with a baby draw sometimes big thanks from Me 👍

[@robcoates8091]

Hearing so much good stuff about this one, I'm back for a second view.

[@richb326]

Hopefully I can take this to the range. A cupped lead wrist has been my big problem for a long time. Particularly on those ‘off days’ when my timing is out

[@ccmorgan53]

My draw is more pull to pull draw . Thanks for this info . Will take to range . Awesome video 👍👍👍
