Using your WRISTS in the Golf Swing! // HOW and WHY?!

[@michaelwelch103]

I have never heard about a different release depending on your grip. I used the strong grip today at the range with the release in the video, beautiful draws. THANK YOU

Awesome to hear Michael!! Best, A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

excellent instruction to detail. Especially with the different release patterns! I personally always favored a 3 knuckle grip and struggled with random instructors getting me to flex my wrist in the transition causing me to snap hook everything. I've gotten down to a 2 handicap on my own through KZbin. You have a new follower! Keep up the great content, Coach!

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Just jumped on and saw your comment! Welcome aboard! I coach a bunch of good players with strong grips. You gotta dial down the full swings inside of 175. 3/4 shots with a ‘supported’ release pattern! And, anything longer than 175 - a ‘pull fade’ release pattern will be money! Your grip is a natural ‘closer’, as long as you can manage and offset that by matching the appropriate release pattern you can play awesome! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

Andrew- I agree with what you’re saying. How about those of us, like myself, that have arthritis really bad in our fingers. For myself a right handed golfer, unfortunately it’s in my right hand. So it’s impossible for me to grip the club in my fingers with that hand. I also have to use a Jumbomax medium tour grip. I’ve found these long ago when they first came out, and only had a wrap type grip. I also wear one of those Bionic gloves on my right hand that have the pads built into the joints in the fingers. I’m in the slightly closed stance camp, that swings in to out, with my back to the target, as long as possible, to stop the over the top, and swinging across the ball. I like to feel full extension at and beyond impact. I noticed I had some cupping at the top. What would you suggest that would help that I could build into my swing? I try to keep my right wrist bent backwards at the top, like I have a platter of food I’m serving. This helps some. But my misses are to the right sometimes. However I’m hitting the ball solid in the middle of the club face, use foot powder spray on club head… What’s helped is to line the face to the middle of the fairway, slightly closed, even though I’m swinging out a few degrees to the right…. I’m more of a 3 knuckle grip golfer on lead hand…. Thanks for all you do to help….

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Jumbo grips seem to help a lot. Sounds like you figured out what works best for you which is the key! Coach A. 🔑

[@bananaball1212]

Not sure if this is going to make sense but As a right handed golfer, why didn't they place this gizmo on the right hand? I'm not sure if you or maybe its just me, but I notice it is easier to think of extending the right hand than it is to flex or even flatten the left/lead wrist on the top. On the downswing and at impact, it is easier for your mind to think about extending the right wrist than it is to flex (maybe even think) about compressing the left or lead wrist. Anything I do with the right hand comes naturally since I am right handed. It is like writing I guess; It would be natural to grab the pen and write using the right hand if you are right handed than it is to use the left. By the way, I have the Hackmotion and love it. I have never been more perplexed in my life since getting this.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

A salient point! I believe they are working on a trail hand application if I’m not mistaken?! To each their own when it comes to feels. Be patient with the software, once you understand how to apply the parameters with HM in order to get biofeedback it’s awesome! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

[@bananaball1212]

@@AndrewEmeryGolf great! Hope it’s not another expense and just a free downloaded software where you can just put the gizmo on the right hand😂

[@starks1974]

I think of Steve Stricker too when it comes to club face control as he maintains that square set up through his swing. I wonder how the hack motion would measure his wrists as they don’t seem to move.🤔

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

That would be interesting data for sure! Love his game! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@billtucker8156]

Coach A. Such great content! I use strong grip. Have historically released early and had to stand up to not hit ground. Have always hit draws and hooks. Can hit well when timed right. Cannot drop club low as you mention or stay low into impact because I hit behind ball. In watching your other videos I have begun flattening left wrist on back swing and rotating arms and wrist on downswing which seems to throw clubhead out without releasing wrists down and not down into ground. I can stay lower through the shot. This has created a really strong shot with even more right to left than I have always had. I really like the strong grip release you show and it is what I have tried to use but I seem to go more down and not enough out and around. Which seems to give me a flip creating early extension. I am sure I am not understanding what I need to do. Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong? Thanks so much. Keep up the great work!

Excellent instruction. Thanks!

You’re welcome sir! Thanks for checking in! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

[@travisjaggers2114]

Awesome video. So would you say the “throw the clubhead” and actually almost trying to get an early cupped wrist feeling to release the clubhead is causing my inconsistency?

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Throwing the club is of course a feel not a ‘real!’ I’ve talked about using the arms and actuating the wrists a lot in my videos. However moving the lead wrist into extension in the transition is not advisable! It’s a face opener and steepener, neither of which is going to help you! The lead wrist moves into extension as the club re-hinges post impact! Not before!! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@travisjaggers2114]

@@AndrewEmeryGolf thx so much. Great insight as always.

[@ronharrington8659]

My thinking to simplify all of this. Get out of the weeds… Us strong grippers, have built in more room for the wrist to turn down with our swing naturally. I really don’t like to do the flip over of the wrist at contact, as that requires perfect timing. I just like to relax as much as possible and let the club go pretty fast at contact. I hit my drives in the 250 range at 70 years old, with very solid contact… The noise of the Ping driver is pretty loud at contact.. Not a new gaziliion $$$$ one, that is… G30, firm shaft, set at 0… Callaway Big Bertha Irons, firm graphite.. Found out years ago I couldn’t buy a golf swing. Had to practice, put the time in to develop one, that works with what I have with my body…. I practice 2 days a week, and play one day… All spaced out a day apart because of arthritis and soreness in finger joints…

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

I know a lot of 70yr old’s would love to drive the ball 250yds!! You’re obviously getting a lot out of not just your arms and wrists but the ground also. Keep up the great work and congrats on your golf swing entrepreneurship! Best, A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

Chew crayons… HA!!!! Never heard that before, very funny, I agree, the simpler the better, KISS process leads to better golf for me. Thanks for all the great lessons Andrew!

Oh man I love the 0:30 Hackmotion plug. You can just tell he was talking to the cameraman/team: "what the f... is this thing called again? motion slice? hack-ee-whack? What? Hackmotion? Who makes this stuff up... anyway!" due to the video editting.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Motion Slice!!! Hilarious! As is the cameraman/team comment - I wish! Just me, myself and I with filming and editing. 🤣🤣🤣

Arms drop like an Elevator? You mean a lift right?

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Yes sir, in the ‘old country’ that would be correct!! One elevates and de-elevates in a lift!! One uses a sidewalk as a pavement, and one uses ‘eye’ glasses as glasses to see one’s golf ball!! 🇺🇸🤣

[@cdunne1620]

Well it would measure regardless of whether he moves his wrists or not

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

HACKMOTION has been a game changer for me. There’s no other way to measure wrist mechanics that’s better! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@dogloverjb6873]

Excellent video. I love common sense golf, good old fashion, common sense teaching without all the silly tech... I cringe at some tech out there...the brain can't wrap itself around data of a wrist that is 3 degrees cupped at the top. Technology can screw up players swings into "analysis paraylsis" and I quit golf for years due to that. I see it all the time on the range and course. Just my opinion...Teaching today has gone way overboard with technology...best instructors are those that can look at someone's swing and know whats needs improvement, ... like you can. It's the reason my instructor now is old school and teaches by sight, not technology. Because of his common sense instruction, I have finally reached my goal of being a single digit handicap and outdriving most men from the whites at 67 yrs old. Something to be said for the old school golf instruction. I do love your videos... You're an awesome instructor....keep it up.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

So glad you’re playing well and found a great instructor that meets you where you are with your swing! Appreciate the kind words. Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻
