Great tip 👍

[@forrestgardener8906]

I agree with the advice about the waiter and tray position on the backswing, and I agree with the wrist bent back idea on the downswing. But I think you've missed that when the lead hand is under the chin the shaft will be roughly horizontal to the ground and pointing away from the target for good players. And that tells us that there is a big rotation of the trail forearm right before impact.

[@jon4atee1]

Great video

[@jamezjih]

Well done gentleman. Love that you’re bringing hi tech modern equipment to the everyday golfer. I’d love for a discussion on the timing, that simultaneously as the re centering occurs with the COP shift from just before top of backswing (p3.8) to just before left arm parallel in the downswing (p4.8) the right wrist goes from being partially extended to increasing its extension. This natural “loading” for a thrower will help golfers have some wrist angle left to “release” into the ball once the arms have lowered.

[@jamezjih]

In a previous video, you discussed how the average golfer needs to understand that even during the backswing as your turning, that while you turn, you can actually move forward. I think the same concept gets missed with the wrists for most amateurs too. At the same time the arms begin to move down in the downswing, the right wrist increases it’s extension (bending back) This “opposite overlap”’ seems to be the key to so much of the dynamics. 1) Backswing moves forward as its competed. 2) Right wrist increases extension as the arms start to come down. 3) Pelvis and chest extending in the follow through to “crack the whip”

[@MrLeftyno1]

Was at Arnold Palmers BayHill tourny 2 years ago , and watched Pete Cowan working with Thomas Pieters and the only thing Pete was telling Thomas was to hinge the trail wrist (right hand for a righty), like your showing in this video, great video.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Love it! Shaun has a ton of similar stories from his time spent at the API over years.

[@kevinshoemaker5466]

Doesn’t Pete teach more radial “cocking of the wrists” with less r.h flexion. Have you gentlemen thought about a discussion of wrist roll vs underhand throw. With right hand. Maybe splitting hairs but I have issues with left arm feeling too much pressure and pulling with the wrist roll SUV’s throwing motion. What does gears tell us the pro do. Most of.

[@ggmorris71]

Love to video about the hips. It appears BOTH hips move away from the ball - even the right hip on the down swing doesn’t appear to get closer. Also the sequence of the hips to make room for the right elbow.

[@nicktexasholden]

Hi guys. love the content always. cant go wrong with any advice backed up by the numbers 👍 I was wondering if you have any videos on the difference in wrist release with a strong grip? or does this video still apply? thanks, Nick

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Thanks, Nick... it would still apply. The amount and feel will always be subject to grip strength, but the motions are essentially the same.

[@thomasfraser9072]

Thank you Thank you. Now I know why I have been so damn inconsistent in my ball striking abilities. I would often try to hyper dorsiflex my right hand at the top to prevent the 'tray' from slipping at the top. I found I could not physically do this and gave it up altogether. Your clarification of right hand extension with a comfortable bending of the right hand and then right hand pointing toward the ground during the downswing is golden and hopefully will give me more consistency in my shot making abilities. Cheers

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Awesome, Thomas, let us know how it goes👍

[@thomasfraser9072]

Athletic Motion Golf yesterday I tried it at the driver range playing on the ground; not a mat. At 72 and playing for over 40 years I could actually feel the lag of my club head heading towards the ball to impact for the first time in my life. Using Hogan's teaching that the hips and knees start the downswing which then propels the arms during the downswing your precise information regarding the right hand on this video works 100 percent of the time. Perfect!

[@wallstreetoneil]

This is probably the most important teaching concept in all of golf and it has been overlooked forever. The over focus on the left wrist for almost all people is the wrong way to teach golf - refocusing on what the Right Dominant wrist and hand have to do is 10,000x more useful in teaching everyone how to hit a ball correctly - I also love the fact that you pointed out the insanity of laying the club off with the palm pointed to the sky - it's insane. Every golfer on Earth should watch this video as long as it takes to get rid of your slice. Arnold - 'talk to the hand' how to hit a draw.

[@shaunwebb3766]

I have a hairline fracture in my right wrist from playing baseball when I was younger. Compared to my left wrist when trying to put them flat on the table, my right wrist is about 45 degrees when the left would be 90. What advice would you give me when my right wrist won't bend to the point of carrying a tray?

Very nice. I believe you’re on to something having right handers concentrate more on the right side to learn proper technique/positions faster in the golf swing.

[@caseypearce9078]

Another great vid guys. Could you elaborate what role rolling the forearm plays in where the wrists end up in the backswing (or is there a vid you've already made for this)? I have to guard against a huge roll to the inside, however, I feel like that sets my wrists better at the top (without crossing the line).

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

You want enough roll so it puts the club and hands on plane. Check this one out to see what that looks like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGjcgqKoj953abs

[@sirtogii5216]

Good tips and pointers guys

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Thank you, Sir👊

[@jcut2838]

At the 9 o’clock position during the backswing, someone standing behind would see my right palm (pointing “stop”) aimed right at them. This results in a very closed, skyward facing club face with a bowed left wrist at the top. Since I don’t have Dustin Johnson’s fast hips, this closed club face returns to the ball closed resulting in a hook if path in-to-out or pull-fade if I manage to get an out-to-in path. How do I get that club face less closed (skyward) at the top? Hitting blocks has ruined my left (sliding) knee.

[@ericbernardras]

Awesome video! Thanks guys. I have a question on shallowing. Is there a "primary shallower"? Does wrist movement act as the main force behind proper shallowing?

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Great question! I would say what the primary is depends on where the club is at the top... or how it's arriving to the top. But it's hard not to imagine the wrist being involved if there's a need to shallow.

[@petertherkildsen]

This really worked for me. Much better iron contact. More consistent too.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Love it!

[@jonwicksgolfmore4851]

is this the same motion and idea for the Driver? I have noticed when i feel my right hand face the ground in the downswing that it creates a hook.

[@rossmasters3281]

I feel like I maintain that trail wrist extension throughout the downswing, only rotating my forearms back to the ball. Is this a decent feel?

[@CKGolfer]

what about the right hand movement at impact and after impact? does it roll or flip?

[@quietlivingman3361]

I have cronic over the top as well as taking the club on the inside. Been working really hard on taking it on outside. After seeing this video realised my right hand comes side ways. 1. The stop movement didn't work. 2. The idea of palm facing down all the way to the ball has been a game changer. Thank you! From pitching to 5 iron it's amazing. Should it be down for fairwoods and driver too???

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

[@martinshaffer2014]

This understanding is useful but how do I increase speed of release 🤔

[@stepyourgameupplaya9360]

AMG, please give me some advice. I have been getting my weight transferred to my lead side before I finish my backswing, just like you have advised and my contact has been vastly improved. I no longer hit fat shots! However, I noticed that I am taking very big divots and I feel like my swing is getting steeper. Can you make a quick follow up video showing how I can still shallow my club while still getting on my lead side early? Thanks so much.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Check this one out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGjcgqKoj953abs The pro in this video shifts forward several inches while still shallowing the club beautifully. So much of it has to do with hand path. Also check out the top 9 in the world doing it too: instagram.com/p/Bg6Z-PChZxH/

[@robkedgley8350]

Love this one guys! I would say if I was holding a tray of drinks I would not have spilt a drop at the top or even half way down!! Just to clear up, would the tray be level with the ground at the top or angled forward? and then facing the ground all the way to impact? thanks again! Rob

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Close to level at the top. It works towards facing the ground as it works away from you and the target.

[@robkedgley8350]

Athletic Motion Golf Thanks again! ...another lightbulb moment when you said its possible to have too much wrist cock! Ive always forced it to max & wrists/forearms were no longer soft/relaxed at top..combine that with trying to flatten on way down (face palm up) its no wonder i had a big slide & hanging back fault ! You guys are gold! 👍

[@thomasfraser9072]

Rob Kedgley agree. Same with myself. Tried their advice yesterday and the results were astounding. Will keep this one swing thought the rest of my life.

[@traviscraven4934]

I have the opposite problem with right hand. Come from a past cast flip swing to now generating power with left leg and left arm dominant. Problem is my right hand wants to add that extra snap at the bottom. Cause consistent pull hooks off the toe. Any suggestions beyond tray move to get past this block would be helpful.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

Typically, the right hand does that because it has to... often from the handle raising a bunch through impact.

[@swingsearcher7536]

I have a question regarding that right-palm-face-the-ground-move. Doesn't that promote a steepening of the shaft coming down? Second question: why does that flipping action do close the face in your opinion? Around 8:05 Mike does show "this move does close the face" which in my opinion doesn't look like it does close the face it does have an effect on loft. The turning to the ground is more pronation in my opinion, which closes the face. Keeping the bend in the right wrist helps to create shaft lean.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

The right palm facing the ground is not an arm wrestling move... that would do exactly as you said - steepen the shaft. Think of it in terms as the opposite of keeping the palm skyward, that would keep the face wide open. Lowering the handle, rotating the face, and leaning the handle back are all move that get the face pointing closed. Of course those could be off-set by the golfer through an opposing wrist move, but you'll almost never see an open face late with a shaft leaning forward. Good golfers are moving the right wrist towards flat not holding it bent. Once the club collides with the ground and the hands keep moving, it gives the look of a massively (in some cases) bent right wrist but that is from the ground collision.

[@swingsearcher7536]

@@AthleticMotionGolf Thanks for the kind answer, but if one pronates the right palm before P6 it will steepen the shaft, even if the right shoulder is eternally rotated.

[@AthleticMotionGolf]

@@swingsearcher7536 The should happen to the shaft coming into impact. The shaft should go from shallow to steep, that's what keeps the shaft on plane and the handle low. The wrong sequence is steep to shallow.

Watch Seve B. and Jose O. hitting chips. The best part by far was my chipping for 30 years. Got yips all of a sudden.I was reading too much instruction!! Get your weight forward and feel like you are taking the club head and the grip end back more in one piece while using the whole body including the knees and left shoulder and hips. Key on follow through especially on longer chips is let the body rise after impact. This takes a little practice but it will free you up from ever chunking one.Practice how much shaft lean you can use as well. This can vary from player to player. Also helps to keep your spine or sternum angled more in front of the ball at setup. Hope this helps!!! I'm chipping great again.Never give up! Let me know how you do.

How does one “Shallow” without wrist laying the club open?

[@frednegus7017]

Lay it down ; Lay it off. The problem occurs when the golfer attempts to accelerate the club head with wrist motion. Which as you know is a horizontal motion. The wrist will accelerate the club head but only during the uncocking phase. If you flatten the trail wrist coming into the ball The club starts up and in : thin. The compensation is to move the ball back in the stance and maybe add a little slide. Front flat ; trail bent. No throwing from the wrist. Cheers
