OLD GOLF PRO REACTS TO NEW TRAINING AID: GOLF GEM LEE DETRICK ON BBG

[@johnrodgers6049]

I bought a Gem. I really like it. I feel, on the downswing, that it wants me to extend my trail elbow earlier (straighten my trail arm) almost right from the top. It’s not casting if your wrists are supple as this move feels to gain natural lag in the wrist. It’s like the Justin Rose drill or Rory McElroy drill. Very helpful tool.

[@divac7777]

what drill you referring to?

[@GemGolf]

Thanks for the support, John!

[@ljfoster55]

I used the GEM for past few months during practice. Brought to course today used it prior to every drive (5 swings with longer rod connected to extra wedge), the hit driver after practice SSO gs. Hit 12/14 fairways and shot 71, best round in years ….this device is amazing

[@TrevinoNo1]

I still use the Lee video he did with Tom Tomasello some years ago as a refresher when I get off sync.

[@cwmcclintock5757]

Have a GEM and it definitely changed my point of release. Now all I need is weather so I can go out and see if it is right. It's also fun to watch people try to figure out their Hinge Action when the Flying Wedge and Extensor Action will solve it in a minute.

[@airbaker2]

P6 looked perfect on the final swing. FYI, Clay Ballard is very into this move as well.

[@MadsRehhoff]

The hula hoop drill is excellent - very visual, Thank you for that.

[@chrish4723]

15:45 That right wrist is the bugaboo for me, a chronic flipper. I'm trying to feel like I impact that ball with that right wrist angle still intact.

[@mkinnear68]

Your swing looks so much better now!

[@vertical-golf]

Really cool thanks for publishing your golf journey it's so helpful for the rest of us out in the golf world. I've been using the gem to try and get the Hogan transition. I'm not even close but the Gem certainly helps but it needs to be in a completely different direction - almost straight behind you and up! which is weird. Your videos are so helpful thanks again.

[@abaker7669]

Im Going to the Range !! lol ... Great stuff Boss !

[@kristopherhorwath8756]

I like the inverted GEM idea... Will definitely give that a try later today

[@jackflash8756]

The demo with the hoop seems easy enough in slow motion where your arm/club unit is retained from around club horizontal in the downswing to impact without any apparent lead forearm supination. Your lead upper arm is pinned to your left pec as you square the clubface with your body pivot. But that clearly doesn't happen in most tour pro swings otherwise their 3D graphs and kinematic sequence graphs would show the angular velocity of lead arm being identical to the torso. They do not solely square the clubface with the body pivot because they also supinate their lead forearm (plus a possible degree of lead upper arm external rotation).

Love me some Rancho Duarte!!!

[@ReSourceEnergetics]

Good video. Hands are fine tuners and the body is a stabilizing mover. We have to give the hands permission to do what they need to do. If you try to tell someone to open or close the club face at impact with their body by 2 degrees… no way. But if your hands have permission to, and your body has them in a good stabile position, no problem. Golf is an athletic endeavor. Alan

[@wranglerpc]

I told you about these wrist conditions in a comment I posted on one of your Milo seminar videos...apparently Milo didn't help you with it, but OOPS THERE IT IS !!

[@shahintabibzadeh1525]

Love this channel

[@hakirk1]

I noticed that you are using the short rod and Lee has the longer one attached to his club. Why? I find it harder to do away with the wobble with the longer rod, but am curious as to why you are using the shorter rod and when we should move from the longer to the shorter when practicing with the GEM.

[@clydecrader1362]

Will the medicus work with this swing.

[@mrkipling3841]

Whats the chances of there being a BBG promo code on hula hoops?... Great video as always, bud.

[@MrMikeRodriguez]

The “cast like” wrist motion is really interesting and makes sense based on the results. The odd part to me is that it seems like you almost need to use force in your wrists/hands/whatever to make the club get pushed into this position prior or during transition. It doesn’t seem like the “natural” path the momentum of the club would want to take if that makes sense. I think Daniel Berger has a swing that relates to this wrist position. He seems to put his wrist in this “casted” position really early on.

[@bortbort1]

Just tried the promo code...got the 10% off but the shipping wasn't free. Has the free shipping period ended already?

[@333pg333]

9:30...you can actually release earlier. Too much emphasis is on holding off / body rotation. Leads to 2 way misses.

[@retgi1]

Isn't this device just a remake of the "duffix" swing trainer from years ago?

[@mattdipadua3614]

Will you try the pro sendr

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

Yeah probably

[@jteddy11]

I purchase a GEM and get a slight wobble, even when doing this move, is there supposed to be absolute zero wobble? Although this move does help in limiting the wobble, I do not think I have achieved zero wobble.

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

It’s hard to say without seeing. If the plane and face are right it shouldn’t wobble.

[@francisgeorge8270]

Keep swinging it until you get ZERO wobble. It took me several hundred swings. Start with slower swings and try rotating your body more in the follow-through.

[@andybecker5001]

No turn cast for the win

[@jukkakymalainen]

"After 30 years teaching, i turned this 90 degrees in opposite direction" 😂 Golf is just never ending journey. Pro players have always played low rounds and they have used both release patterns. Roll or stable release, though stable release is maybe now more popular with tour players.

[@onesipwonder]

I got the GEM, but still don't know exactly what am I supposed to do with it. It has been sitting in the bag 😂

[@dr.dre-1024]

I love all the technology available for us to use to prove our game, however, technology might not have the best understanding of human feeling.

[@Tigersmundo]

*Ah finally someone gave Brandon awareness of his right forearm thank you, Lee...Here in Whittier*

[@DavidSmith-mo2qz]

I must admit that I really struggle with the whole concept of this. To my mind, the whole premise of toe up is very much old school and has been proven to be wrong i.e. if the club is toe up when at P3, then the face is actually open. In addition, in order to get to toe up in the follow through, you have to roll the wrists. In spite of my concerns, I bought the Gem and found that it turned my draw into a pull hook. This makes sense to me as it promotes a more "handsy" swing. Not for me, I'm afraid. I'll stick to the modern approach.

[@tonybarber420]

Youre probably using it wrong then

[@chrisb.4496]

NO NO NO NO. Did you guys even pay attention to how you are suppose to practice with it? Obviously not!
