What Do the HANDS Do In the Downswing?

Quote of the Day: [you] can either believe me or be wrong! 😎 Love it Steve! Great lesson…thanks for sharing!

[@myronwatkinski]

That could be the best statement I have ever heard any instructor say.

[@robmoon6442]

A seamless and grounded explanation. Fave golf guide!!!

[@dogloverjb6873]

you did a video showing that motion, but you demonstrate it around a pole.... wish I could find that video. I tried this at the range and got amazing distance. After 30 yrs of playing golf....this was the missing piece. I finally understand what the golf release feels like...it is exacting opposite of what I thought. You have to do this 90 degree hand action right from the top of your golf swing...not when you get to the ball. I love the term...flaps of the hands... easy to understand. You can flap your hands to the sky alittle more and make the ball go higher if you want. Such a wonderful and easy to understand explanation. thanks so much!!! This is the BEST video on the golf release out there.

[@Inmotion70]

Yes!

[@Noallegiance]

Can you please do a follow up on developing the hand action for low, high, fade and draw?

[@jamesMoore-w3g]

Love your videos!!

[@ajp5139]

Explained brilliantly, excellent video 👍

[@werquantum]

Wonderfully detailed explanation. Thank you.

[@user-pt1nx6tr8u]

Been following your videos for awhile now. Just wanted to say thanks and I’m definitely seeing improvements in my swing….many thanks

[@Inmotion70]

Great to hear!

[@markbusch1721]

Learned something new today! Thanks Steve

[@jamesscinto5221]

Once again excellent job in explaining which can be very controversial and confusing to beginners and advanced players👌

[@thomashenry3284]

Very good details!!! Thanks Steve!!! ❤️🥰🥳

[@thegolfguy68]

Entire video is Gold! At 3:39 it goes Platinum. Understanding and executing this move takes my swing to the next level. Thank you!

[@Inmotion70]

Report back!

[@davidmeeks7449]

Here’s the bottom line: His teaching works. Of all the stuff out there on golf, the only change I have worked on is to start executing the throw from the top instead of an arms pull down. When you do it correctly, the instant speed boost and increase in shot height is amazing. Best of all the club feels on plane and swinging fast, easy to let it square up. This move is a big change but it is really doing what I was doing anyway, only instead of casting out I am throwing it back and letting that angle go as I rotate. Amazing what it does.

How did you find a semi sunny day in SoCal? Been a terrible weather winter this year.

[@integrito3323]

Thanks for taking the time to post and educate Steve! Liked and subscribed! May I ask, what of wrist hinge and unhinge? Look forward to your response!

[@samscarpaci5156]

Pure ⛳️ thanks Steve

[@richardpeyser8552]

I don't understand the connection between the flap and the 180-degree drill. How do the two connect? Is it i the same motion? Seems like the flap occurs naturally with the 180>

[@johnmullis1156]

Hey Steve if you flap up does it make it go farther?I was doing it and the ball was going way high but not sure if it was longer than a normal flight which was lower.

[@davidmeeks7449]

Make sure you keep rotating so the club is moving down through impact and your low point is in front of the ball. The flap adds speed but if the ball is shooting up that means you are adding loft at impact. Your low point is too far back and your brain reacts so you hit the ball. You are close to getting real distance if you get that low point forward! Steve’s teaching is money.

[@mikerichardson5022]

"you can believe me or be wrong" :-) nice line

[@petesebastian-ko7cn]

Can the wrist" flap" be done without the pronation/ supination move as taught by Joe Dante years ago

[@e99783]

So the whoosh of the club is at the top?

[@hervehascoet7322]

hi Steve : as usual very impressed with the quality of your teaching ! when I chip I can do it extremely well and all of a sudden I get the yips and it has a lot to do with the hands , not my position vis a vivs the ball, I do stand on my left foot well etc.... can you help with this issue

[@Inmotion70]

Make sure you are using enough pivot and turn to cause the club to accelerate through the ball. The most common issue is taking too big a backswing and using only arms/wrists.

[@almaus3715]

Very nice😊

[@handyallen]

Saw a batting instructor showing that as a batter that he actually threw the bat back and down toward his trailing forearm with his wrists and by itself looked crazy but when he combined it with his swing toward the ball I was thinking that's what I could use in my golf swing😊

[@VimMitt]

I want to make sure if flap wrist action is not same as flipping the club or scooping the club. It requires a right timing .

[@forrestgardener8906]

Nice explanation Steve. The problem I have is fitting together the wrist movement in the first part of the video with with flap motion. The two movements seem contradictory.

[@Eqnotalent]

That's also because there is 3 common ways to release the club, roll, throw, or redirect. Your hand, your grip and your wrist conditions needs to match your release and swing style. Most golfers has wrong mix match of them. Good golfer got it figured out by playing a lot and thru trial and error. Most important is matching your grip with your wrist condition.

[@wmrat1969]

@@Eqnotalent That was some good info, I am no great golfer trying to find my way but in your opinion which is the one he is showing? TY

[@Eqnotalent]

@@wmrat1969 he shown both. he is showing the rolling release at beginning and throw release half way. they each have a different wrist angle at the top and a low pt. Giles Gill has a good video on those 2. and Dan Alton has a good video on the momentum release, let the weight of the club run into back of the ball and just find your fold point.

How does Fred couples do this with a strong grip?

Do you use a 10 finger grip?

[@Inmotion70]

No.

[@brucebrantly7794]

How does your description of flapping compare to what we are all told to stay away from which is flipping?

[@Inmotion70]

You can't ever get flippy if you pivot and turn enough.

[@johnmullis8616]

When I flap it feels like the club is coming out of my hands. Timing is an issue.

[@WorrySomeMore]

Current science says: flatten the shaft, unhinge and twist the shaft (reverse motorcycle move).

[@schnare1]

Seems like your teaching people how to flip Steve 🤔

[@Inmotion70]

It's only a flip if its early from no pivot and turn.

[@sirtogii5216]

There seems to be 2 opposing sides on this one. Some advocating less forearm rotation and more of the twisting of the club. Guess there is more than one way to skin a cat?

[@leoambtman6216]

Steve. Sorry, but this video is the wrong method. You square the club face by holding your left arm against the upper body (your figure 7) and turn the shoulders. No flapping of the hands. That does not work. You will be too late.

[@Inmotion70]

Yeah good luck with that. The clubface would be 30+ degrees open without torque from the hands. Proven science end of discussion.

[@leoambtman6216]

@@Inmotion70 I assume the same science as by Sasho Mackenzie. Shallow the club to get the face closing. It just does not work. And if you get it working it is at the expense of the swing speed. The only way is: use your body (connection) and not only your arms or hands. I thought you were a big advocate of this method. Left arm against upper body!

[@Quirinus1000]

@@Inmotion70 Sorry, but I agree with Leo. No active flapping. The flapping just happens, but the left shoulder slams the face shut. At the top, the right hand throws the club over the left index finger which acts like a fulcrum. Check out this baseball illustration. kzbin.infoWwKjqJeHSHk?feature=share
