This video came at perfect time. I was constantly battling to get that flexed wrist impact position and working against what felt natural and consistency was getting worse. Went out today with this swing thought and had 43 points. Going to have to invest in one of the training aids I think.

[@joeappel6928]

Really value all the lessons and gadgets that position my hands, arms and body correctly. I have been watching for a few years now and appreciate your instruction

[@kooijbas]

Great series. I love the way the offered drills and solutions are tailored to the student. It's fascinating to see the analysis of a great teacher being spot on.

[@edlee99]

Video was extremely helpful. I have a strong grip like Mikey, so understanding the importance of maintaining the wrist cupping and avoiding flattening at the top is key. When I’m swinging my best, my hands/wrists feel “set” at the top. Then it’s just about turning thru the ball. Great to understand “why”.

[@Paul-cm7ie]

Really innovative. Also Interested in getting one for my short game

[@Matt_pat240]

Keep doing these videos!

[@jack-hq7gr]

What would it take for him to get some balls starting to right edge of bunkers down his line?

[@tourstriker]

He’s need more external rotation of his trail arm and more lead wrist flexion. Ian uses my PlaneMate to help w this, too.

[@buddymaxwell6881]

Martin. I was a reasonably good player when younger with a very neutral grip, and had a natural little draw.. After years away, mostly playing tennis, I took a lesson and was told I should change to a stronger grip as "that's the modern way to play" It took a while, but I did get used to a stronger grip, and played very well with it at times. Many times I've wondered about going back to a more neutral grip. I have the same issue as Mike, trying to flatten my left hand at the top, or even bowing it, with many pulls as a result. For a fairly good player, would you recommend going back to a neutral grip or doing as you have Mike doing here with maintaining a slight cup in the wrist?

[@tourstriker]

Change a grip and lose a friend. Before you change see if you can manage the face with wrist match ups.

[@buddymaxwell6881]

@@tourstriker Thanks. I started little by little weakening my grip over a few weeks to try and make the transition less of a chore. I’m sure it will be fine Re squaring the face, just curious to see if I’m on the right path.

[@ericdouglass3515]

How is this any different/copying G-Snap?

[@tourstriker]

I’ve been selling a clicker for ten years. This works flexion and extension and can be worn on either hand. Hardly a copy. I’m glad your a fan of GG. He’s great.

[@kourt2469]

Don't really see any issue with wrist cupping unless you have a weak or neutral grip. If you have a strong grip the wrist cupping is probably just fine

[@tourstriker]

Agreed, a lot of match ups that can work. The FlexClick can be used as a reference for any of them. Why I made it? 9/10 golfers don’t grip it correctly or set to the ball functionally. This helps in both situations.

[@stepyourgameupplaya9360]

Preventing your wrist from cupping is great and all but this device does nothing to prevent the golfer from coming over the top

[@tourstriker]

This device helps w the root cause of WHY a golfer comes over the top in the first place. An open face because of a bad grip, or poor wrist habits IS the root cause. Address that and the player has a better chance of meaningful improvement.

[@rosspeter2150]

Keep in mind, your wrist angles at the top of the backswing need to match up with your grip at address. Someone with a weak lead hand can't have a cupped wrist at all or you're taking a trip to shank city. But if you have a very strong lead hand you cant have a bow either or the face will be completely closed. I have a very strong lead hand grip so I have flat to slightly cupped at the top and it works very well. Tried the bow and I just pull hook everything. Try the flat wrist and over draw everything. Slight cup and everything goes baby draw all day.

[@User_LUdrcn]

Love the series. At last a video that explains that there are many ways to “skin a cat” . Too many videos on KZbin professing to be the “new” and therefore “best” and (often perceived by the viewer) only way to chip/ pitch/ drive etc without any consideration for individuals fundamentals…or the desired outcome on the shot…high / low / draw / fade . Quality content 👍

[@jaytucker4338]

Love this video!

[@brentjewell9641]

Good job Mikey! I watched the channel from the beginning....huge improvement with your swing ! You look like a player✔️

[@jimgoble6832]

Good video's, love Martin's simplistic approach to explaining the golf swing, I have several of his golf aids and videos and they are some of the better ones on the market today...

[@Parmesan300]

How lucky is Mikey boy?! Awesome stuff. Completely underrated channel. Love the content boys!

[@jvelez1998]

I purchased Martin’s flex click and have been using it for the last few weeks. It has significantly helped me properly shallow all clubs throughout the bag. I am a higher speed player (125mph + driver) and it has helped me also control the clubface and keep my mishits on the planet. Thanks to Ian and Mikey for working with Martin on this segment!! 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🙌🙌💪💪💯💯☝️☝️☝️

[@tourstriker]

Awesome!! Glad to hear.

[@NickOnPar]

How does it help shallow?

[@danieldudley5852]

These videos are great. It would be nice if you put a link in the description that could take me directly to an info/order website.

[@andrewm1136]

The comment about preventing wrist flexion for shorter shots is a great one for me .. very well explained ..thanks

[@craigedga4r]

Not enough close ups to show the issue, the requirement, the product / solution and results!!!!

When will the Golfers Toolbox be back in stock on the tour striker website?

Amazing video mikey is me strong grip and im trying to bow my wrist which i hook and pull misses alot

[@peterbarnes8941]

Great explanation of "match up". Thank you...

[@jaisonlee007]

G-Snap is better

[@tourstriker]

I’ll have to give one a try. If it helps my students, I’m all for it. I’m a fan of GG, too.

[@BlairBN01]

That’s very cool. I did think initially, surely he’s just going to present a heap of loft like that - very interesting to see how it allowed Mike to turn to a better impact position to mitigate that. Nice vid, guys.

[@scottyeaman8377]

Love it!! Hopefully see this in action with wee Mikey soon!!!!

[@mattleader821]

Same as George Gankas’ G Snap isn’t it .?

[@tourstriker]

I haven’t tried George’s. It looks nice from the videos I’ve seen. It’s for lead hand flexion. Mine works both flexion and extension on either hand.

[@Rickwynne]

Where’s the best place to buy that training aid?

[@The_sunday_lout]

Once again great info guys, really enjoying this series with Martin Chuck 👍🏻

[@darrelljohnson9940]

I like the instructional videos! Keep em up.

[@wallstreetoneil]

I can see this being a very useful short-game tool for the chunk&blade chippers out there, like how Mikey is using it to prevent a shut face, in order for there to be a signal that you're not using the wedge's bounce but shutting the loft down.

[@tourstriker]

Good points. Thx

[@ZeeK33NKS]

Would this be categorized as a tool to encourage rotating with the club face with the body? I find that my pre-shot routine squares the club up fine due to space and sequencing. All the sequencing and space is lost in the actual swing causing me to save it with the wrists. Strong grip btw

[@tourstriker]

The slow mo pre shot routines aren’t under the stress from the mass of the club moving at speed. This video should help you sort out some things. Strong grip? Cuppy lead wrist helps.

[@WesD85]

Not sure if it's just me, but this guy has a knack of explaining things in a way that I just don't understand.

I have a knack that confuses you? 😂

I never bought into the "sold-out" scenario a lot of ppl were pushing... until right now. What a waste of what WAS... a great channel. 😔

[@trebledawson]

This series with Martin has completely revolutionized the way that I think about my swing. Absolutely loving it! One question I have for Martin: As far as I can tell, my problem is having too much face closure at impact, leading to pulls (or pull hooks!). I almost never miss right, but left is deadly for me. I don't really see any teaching channels talk much about closure rate (except for the video that TXG did years ago about grip size). I'm very curious to know what Martin has to say about this (imo) under-discussed aspect of the golf swing.

[@tourstriker]

Great point. If you get to the delivery position, p6, and flex your lead wrist, the club head and shaft angle more toward an inside out behavior. Also, that moves the orientation of the face more rightward for the righty, making a straight, or push draw easier.

[@trebledawson]

@@tourstriker Thank you so much for the reply! Just to clarify, by "flex your lead wrist", you mean adding flexion ("bowing") at impact? In other words, with the FlexClick on the inside of the wrist you would want to hear a click just before impact? If so, would you prescribe adding the flex at impact, or earlier in the swing (such as the takeaway or transition)?

[@tourstriker]

@@trebledawson you want the max bow before you get to parallel to the ground on the way down. Pivot helps deliver that to the ball. Good strikers add flexion at different points; Rahm, early on the way back, while McIlroy does it on the way down.

[@Ct99915]

Would this training aid help with clubhead release?

[@tourstriker]

Absolutely

[@chachifeere]

Doesn’t really work. Doesn’t stop the flip just gives you the sound

[@tourstriker]

It’s a feedback device. It helps you sort out the delivery sequence. Everyone “flips” it. The difference w good strikers is that the ball is gone when they do it, not before.

[@thailandfruitmonster7315]

You can have shaft lean without a flat or bowed wrist.... Ala Freddy and JD.

[@tourstriker]

Agreed. But poor golfers need awareness to improve if that’s what is desired. “Swing your swing,” if it produces nice results. If it doesn’t? Change it.

Argh stop peddling this stuff.
