Love the whole tone of your videos even if I can't always use your advice. I've always played my best whilst the left side was in control and everything is pulled back to the ball from the lead side, not thrown or driven from the trail side. To me any practice with just the right hand encourages it to be too active. It works for many I'm sure, but never for me. My golf always suffers when I feel my right side gets too active, resulting in early release issues. The exception is the flop/bunker shot action; a good reason for me not to over practice those shots. Golf is definitely a game of constant maintenance; keeping things in balance. Thanks for many great videos.

Question is. If I do a right bicep curl in the backswing and uncurl in the downswing would that close the clubface if I hold the right wrist angle?

Luther how do u release the hands on the downswing? Thanks

Luther I'm finding that I cannot do an early wrist-set swing anymore. Too inconsistent. I have to do a one-piece takeaway with later wrist cock. I also find that my one-piece takeaway swing has much higher clubhead speed (108 mph vs 98-100mph). Only problem is that it seems to produce a strong draw with driver and anything forward in my stance.

Hi Tom - I don’t want you to have an early wrist set. It’s important to realise that the mix of shoulder coil and wrist hinge Aries from club to club. A Driver shaft requires very little wrist cock in the backswing I.e. The least amount of wrist hinge during the longest backswing. The shorter wedge requires the most amount of wrist cock in the least amount of time. Wrist cock occurs across a spectrum from Sand Iron to Driver. If your posture is good for each club and you coil the shoulders fully in the backswing - the amount of wrist cock will happen quite naturally. All things being equal Driver causes your swing to be long, flattish, roly forearms and very little wrist cock. Wedge causes your swing to be short, upright, non rolly and most active wrist cock. Let the club maker lead you to a correctly blended mix of shoulder coil and wrist cock. It will happen naturally if you let it and you can save your energy for creating a shot with your through swing! 👍😇🏌️‍♂️
