Forearm Rotation in Golf Swing (DO THIS)

[@redghost3170]

What a beautiful swing.

[@twisted13]

This is a fantastic video. I have been working on the take away and have been getting club in a good spot but coming down fromnthe top was sloppy so this video explains what i need to work on. Thank you for this!! Cheers

[@symannlura8863]

...really grateful if you can clarify the work of left hip rotation (fwd hip) in transition. Thank you so much indeed.

[@alcampos1839]

another great video, keep them coming. Great work!

[@tightdraws8381]

Good discussion/demonstration. I like the forearm focus.... first saw this emphasis on rotating the trail forearm down by Pete Cowan in a video and, as you indicate, it is really a good key to getting good compression.

[@bobj2447]

Same in badminton, you can get lost in the wrist thoughts but forearm is the key.

[@EugeneKim-yq9ok]

Excellent explanation, thank you.

[@bonnies7507]

Thanks. Great approach. I think focusing on the forearm should be easier than figuring out what angle my hand is in. Would you suggest this for lybrids and fairway woods ?

[@ajshilcoski9633]

This is so helpful thank you!

[@mrsmartypants_1]

Very nice.

Everyone is different. I've been playing for 55 years, since I was 10. With my muscles and skeleton if I don't open my club some on my backswing I get too steep coming into the ball. Opening the club some on the backswing gets me shallow coming into the ball which really improves my ball striking.

[@bh5606]

Interesting idea. Could you discuss the orientation of the pocket of your right arm in the downswing, please?

[@dieseldes1301]

I tried this today on the range today , it was superb 🙏🙏🙏

[@johnanthony6214]

Short and sweet ❤

Love your channel, and Adam as well. I just left a comment on his channel about how to get, un "stuck". My son is struggling with it (15 yr. old), and any advice would be greatly appreciated...amateurs have this issue all the time. Cheers!

[@dry509]

I like this. I want to learn this. I have been confused and did not understand about how to do this process. Will try. Are you anywhere near Houston.

[@724riff]

May i ask , at about 3.04 when your at the top, your lead weist or watch a person would wear is almost in top and above your trail elbow, i was a ohenominal ball striker with this , a great bowed lead ledt wrist and trapped the ball ao well Took about 6 months off and can no longer achieve this and dont feel i am loading the club shaft , wrist etc , like its to flat and perhaps Now its the opposite wihh a cupped lead wrist instead if bowed Alla dustin Johnson. So can rolling the forearms counter clockwise help create a more bowed lead wrist at the top

[@jsusna1972]

Your left wrist is bowed at the top of your backswing. Does that happen naturally for you, or do you have to do it on purpose? I have a tendency to cup my wrist, which really makes me have to attempt all sorts of manipulation to return the clubface to square. I liked what you had to say about feeling uncomfortable. I heard of an instructor once who said to his student, who had complained that something he was being taught made him feel uncomfortable, "Well, how has 'comfortable' been working out for you lately?"

[@SL0409]

Nothing should be deliberate. It should all be natural

[@jorgensenfamily5604]

I like "Rotate the knuckles on your left hand down towards the ground". Rotating the forearms feels very odd and unnatural which is why so many struggle to hit the ball consistently. Most try to flip the wrists and lift the ball in the air, not good. Trust the roll/rotation of the forearms, be stubbornly dedicated to learning the technique, and you'll get A LOT better at golf.

[@fredrickmendelsohn606]

I believe this is what Pete Cowans is trying to say when he tells us to “spin” the forearm

[@vimalmittal5603]

Palm of right arm supposed to face to the sky to shallower the swing otherwise u are going to see pull hooks and slice.

[@frankiesantiago9640]

What about the theory of keeping your elbow tucked and close to your body?

[@mrsmartypants_1]

Trailing elbow? You still do that.

[@kooijbas]

You somewhat skip over the part where the arm should rotate, when you hinge the right arm. For some reason that did not come naturally to me. I would end up with a massively cupped wrist trying to get the club in position. What was missing was my forearm rotation, then the club kind of gets in the right position automatically. And strangely. without the rotation I would get the club way more open at impact than with rotation.

[@bobj2447]

Turn belly button is the key I missed in this in the past

[@honkerh8r564]

I noticed that too. Sometimes the little side comments are the gold nuggets you find in these instruction videos.

[@azcharlie2009]

Taking the club back straight is an illusion. Straight to the arc is not straight back. So, it is rotating open to the line. When you start to turn you body, you must rotate your forearms.

[@richarddarrah2014]

basic anatomy... the radius literally crosses over the ulna to pronate the wrist. This was PAINFUL to listen to.
