The Wrist Move I Use for Effortless Ball Striking

[@pohoresky]

Right arm function as you point out is critical from the the top of the back swing starting with the transition . As you say the right arm/elbow must move away from the chest or rib cage to start the downswing/transition as you begin to rotate simultaneously. I have heard this right arm\elbow move away from the body in the transition described as "releasing the bicep curl". I like that analogy as it works for me mentally. Hopefully for you too. Russell is spot on with this video. Very insightful video and a game changer. Learning so much from Russell one piece at a time.

Can you do a video explaining the trail elbow drop in detail?

This really helped alot I get it at last. Thanks. Russel Heritage. Keep up excellent work.

This was my recent lesson and I can confirm that it’s made a big difference. When practicing use video to make sure the handle comes to the virtual wall early to create the hip depth. The feels and reals were quite far apart for me and I needed video evidence to believe it and narrow the gap.

Snow! Way to keep up the daily vids in that cold!

Thanks Russell, I practice your instructional tips a lot and it has really improved my ball striking... I will be working on this which should help me get more club head speed at the ball....appreciate it...

As I see it, if I get he arm movement correct the correct sequence of weight shift is still critical to making good ball contact. I have just recently subscribed and very happy I did.

Getting to try and touch the wall with the handle is great for me. As I tend to lift slightly out of posture in the backswing. It’s a simple thought that finally cured me from dragging the club head in and lifting out of posture. Also the wrist hinge at the very top and let the elbow drop into your side is very good . The slight confusion I have is does the elbow drop naturally with rotation or do you actually manipulate it .

On one to ten what g rip pressure do you suggest?

[@rodneybland3616]

Probably will help, but the exercise keeps the right elbow coming off of the torso. You should be able to keep a towel under the arm in the full swing until after impact, or is that just another myth?
