Wrist Bowed Done

[@svenvanderven]

Such a great tip, the feeling of the pressure in the 3 fingers at transition has dramatically improved my ball contact, now my wrist is bowed and my hands are in front, I've tried to do this for so long but this concept really worked for me, thank you,

[@robertbookdirect]

Superb tip, simply and effectively illustrated. Took it to the range and hit it great. Can't wait for my next round. Tracing the bowed left wrist (right if you are a southpaw) to the grip is ingenious. Trust me, if you follow the instructors who complicate this essential process by breaking down the position of the arms, shoulders, wrists at every turn, you'll end up worse than where you began. The amateur will never get into DJ's left wrist bowed position on top of the swing, but with Christina's suggested grip you won't need to, to get into the right position at impact. One suggestion, you may wish to show the final, strong grip at address. Bravo!

[@bobc9181]

This is one of the best tips ever. For years I have struggled with my grip and having too much tension in my hands, especially the right. By getting the handle in the last three fingers of the left hand, pushing those fingers away from me on the back swing, and turning them down on the downswing I am hitting much more consistently, making better contact with more power, and am much less likely to slice. Thanks so much for the tip!

[@tombrandt8137]

You are the best teacher I've listened to. Love your videos.

[@naomitsurumi6504]

If I found you 4 days ago before a round of golf, I would have hurt my wrist. The way you showed how to bow is easy and no strain to a wrist. Thank you. You will change my swing enormously

[@kevinqueen6246]

For those who don't understand what she's explaining on this video, this is really advanced instructions, shaft angle at the top of the back swing and hand path on the way down, most of us are gripping the club wrong you have to be able to compartmentalize the swing in order to improve it, when there is any pain or discomfort in the golf swing your doing it wrong, what she's saying here is 100% correct

[@30secondgolflessons]

You’re seeing more and more of this. I really love stressing wrist position in the downswing and impact. Tilting and turning the shoulders in the takeaway. Thanks for the content!

[@miketurpin6687]

Thank you! Finally explained so that I can understand and get that feeling in the wrists. Appreciate you!

[@darrenhadden1037]

Game changer Christina! Nice video!

[@cklam8722]

Never get tired watching your wrist work. It is probably the well-kept secret of golf swing. Ben Hogan is the golf legend talked about wrist work, too.

[@bobcarter4343]

Works great if you can make a full shoulder turn with her arm extension. Tried it today and it works. Very well demonstrated here.

[@julierader2322]

Always a great lesson! I like that they’re not to long. Also like the slow motion!!

[@alexrodriguez8767]

Wow, you've made the drill so simple, Thank you!!

[@OfficeSlateLeeds]

simple and effective way to bowed lead wrist at the top of backswing and keep the shape during downswing.thanks

[@Onemoreday1623]

Lol, watched a video and just commented without actually trying it Its not simple and effective at all and takes 100s upon 100s of hours to get tue muscle memory right for this.

[@robertmulligan5797]

All part of educating those hands. Great lesson to feel the pressure.

[@nige99]

This is gold people , when you do the "slight" twist your shots will be VERY good

[@dmacd7514]

Great Lesson!!

[@chrisbrowne5975]

Wow tried the exercise in my garden with a tee worked wonders felt really natural in release .

[@alanbanks3587]

This is what I have been for. With the left hand in the fingers and rotation. I rotated at the top of the back swing. Then logo down on down swing. Ball goes straighter and crisp ball striking.

[@pfarrelli]

GREAT video! Like all bowed wrist videos and tutorials, including Hogan's book, they are all 100% valid! However, the golf swing and all of its subtleties is a very fickle thing. I suffered from weak shots and pushes. My brain, with all of the bowed wrist swing keys couldn't grasp it consistently. One for instance was "turn your left hand knuckles down". I had trouble doing that and when I did my left hand would death grip the club. But, the key that worked, and I know this sounds ridiculous, was on the back swing, to CUP the right wrist! How dumb is that? It is essentially the same thing as turning the left knuckles down, but THIS is the thought that stuck and I didn't death grip the club. This is so much like what @Peter Hammer said. Now my shots are more crisp and straighter. There are so many ways to do the same thing. Everyone is different as to what works and doesn't work. Stick with it and you will find the key that works for you!

[@eddieelfakir5189]

GOLD !!!! Thank you!!!

[@mjm1012]

Good stuff Christina~

[@ronhudson7298]

Great tips, look forward to your clips. Thx.

[@brianreilly8661]

getting the heal on top never thought of that makes sense have to try it thanks for tip

[@charlesfelice8383]

Terrific lesson about gripping the club. Thanks Christina.

[@marksellergren9055]

I just had this point also taught to me recently by Golf Instructor Chip Koehkle, so looked for supplemental online instruction on this point. Fundamental issue - it really does enable the back of the left hand to make the correct impact. It doesn't take much to incorporate it into a planed swing, just repetition - as Chip says, only need to change your brain synapses. Thanks -- short, sweet and to the point.

[@garthdownton8645]

You have a powerful looking swing! I grip the club similar the Moe Norman, this goes against your instruction but I do believe for a conventional swing you have the correct approach. Good presentation!

[@PietroLavezzari]

20 meters with this your video! Thanks a lot from Italy

[@MarkSmith-lz5rk]

What's a meter

[@psmall54]

Great tip , took it to the course today and hit some sweet long irons....really makes the backswing natural.

[@thevinsk]

I think the information is of course correct. I'm wondering if this feel works completely for you though. I noticed when I freeze the video at 4:13 immediately after impact your trail wrist is straight and your lead is a bit flexed (cupped). But this is the only small error I've seen with your videos. You're excellent, just wanted to point that out.

[@DysonGolf]

THIS WAS COOL! Great lesson! I'll be giving this a try tonight!

[@jagger9031]

you do great well explained videos.thanks

[@aungbo9560]

Thanks a lot for teaching

[@Am5634]

Great video

[@pozmarciv]

Nice job

[@vandiesel5447]

Dang, that's a pretty swing.

[@thomaspalmer7483]

Instruction is on target and very helpful...going back use your right palm to pressure your last three fingers of your left hand. This helps you to maintain structure and a relaxed left hand wrist down and through the swing. Thx. Tom

[@Grayback1973]

This is a power move as well. Funny thing about this release is that it really feels like you never release the club at all.When you flip you can feel the release. It's a very obvious acceleration as where with this flat/bowed wrist release the acceleration happens way after the ball is struck. What actually brings the club head out to the ball is swinging left via the rotation.One thing I will say is that you must rotate through if you are using this because if you stall/flip that ball is either getting smother- pulled or shanked!

[@vimalmittal5603]

To bow left wrist i learned easy way. U just pull left shoulder blade forward . It is painful but it works. Then just rotate your body. So simple.

[@love2flash]

oh my god it works, thank you

[@lyndonjames6485]

I worked on this today. It feels like I’m working different muscles on my forearms and kinda my wrist form focusing on the three fingers. It def feels awkward when working on the bow’d wrist. Would you say you had a similar feeling when you worked on the bow’d wrist?

[@stephenchappell4953]

When do you start turning the club down with fingers(bowing) . Beginning of backswing, at 9 o clicks or right Impact. I notice sometimes - a big hook can happen

[@nige99]

tartan really looks good on you Christina

[@junl2894]

I got massive power and speed from down swing trigger with left little and ring fingers

[@davidarmstrong5479]

Hi Christina, firstly thanks for your great videos, I've been playing Golf for nearly 40 years and continue to have a Coach to help me but I have to say I have learnt more from your perspective having followed you for the last 6 months so thanks a bunch! On this video I have watched a few times to try and understand and to me it feels conflicted with an earlier video you did on super fast hands releasing thigh to thigh. This now feels too quick compared to bowed wrist which looks like the squaring of the face is done with body rotation through impact and then release with the hands. Would be interested in your thoughts! by the way my coach is always trying to motivate me in to holding the lag and then releasing the club with fast hands as I tend to hold on to it chicken wing style!! Thanks David

[@MorePars]

Hi David! Thanks for watching. Great question and I am glad you reached out. When we are conflicted, confusion sets in. Let me clarify: YES - we want lightning hands. We also want the hands leading and the club trailing. Ideally, we'd like a bowed lead wrist as we move our hands like lightning through the hitting zone. This tip helps you achieve that bow. That doesn't mean the hands move slower in order to get that bow. Also, important to note that there is no cookie-cutter swing. Some release with more body rotation and others release with my forearm rotation (and less body rotation). It all depends on each individual. The key takeaways here are 1. Lightning hands - always 2. Hands leading. 3. Bowed lead wrist as much as you can. Personal note: My bow stinks (in my eyes). I am always working to improve :)

[@davidarmstrong5479]

More Pars Golf Christina thanks very much for your reply. I have struggled to consistently release my hands and forearms especially on the Golf Course under pressure as my brain wants to steer the ball with a square face. When I do release I really notice the difference as the ball flies hot off the face. You make an interesting point re releasing with the body versus hands and forearms. I have tended to hang back a little with body so as to not come over the top but maybe trying a blend would help my slow hands Thanks a lot and keep up the great videos!

[@ScottSanderz19]

More Pars, would a stronger grip and getting hands to the inside of the left thigh before releasing, bow the wrist enough without consciously doing anything?

[@jsmecky4257]

Love it. 😉

[@raymondgosses2992]

Yes she's the best gets right to the tip doesn't give you 5or10 minutes of who there are I used to be on the PGA I did this or that it takes 20min to get to the tip then they want to sell you something

[@light1531]

More Pars. I love your instructions, the hinge, drop and hold video is frankly leading edge compared to all other youtube attempts to explain "hinge and hold", can you come up with a video for some of my friends that have lost love for golf, okay they have strange swings, but they probably can get around the course with 20 shots over par, but it has not happened for some time!! How can they start to get back to loving the game and few more pars. You videos would help, but they need to know what is reasonable, what might they be able to achieve.

[@peterhammer6915]

Thinking about left wrist bowed makes my swing crampy and slow. I rather think of keeping the wristangle of the right hand throughout the downswing.

[@sw3w537]

Well you'll continue to be a 22 handi cap then.

[@Esoxfan]

Thanks, this helps a lot.

[@arthurkriese921]

How does one reach your office to order books , please give me an answer. Arthur Kriese.

[@MorePars]

Hi Arthur! Head to Amazon or misspar.com (for signed copies of all my books). Thanks for watching!

[@scubart]

Can you please explain what I have to do with those 3 fingers? And when exactly in the downswing do I do it.

[@keithgrainger8797]

Is this the same for driver,

[@lawrencejohnson8311]

She does an nice presentation

[@lincolnshaw8812]

That is a great pair of tips, er, - especially the heel pad ;)

[@spondiveswandive561]

It’s good I just think it would be difficult to make that into one full downswing

[@carmelom269]

Another good instructional video, but . . . The video could be better if your shot your swings in slow motion so the viewer could see your three fingers bowing in real time as you transition into impact.

[@lawr66]

A bowed left wrist requires a weaker grip. A weaker left grip requires more hand action to square the face at impact. Hogan went to a weak grip because with a normal to strong grip he hooked the ball into the ground - he is on record as saying at one point he could not get a 4 wood into the air. If you can hit the ball fine with a strong grip, like for example Fred Couples, you don't need to bow the lead wrist. If you don't believe me about the weak grip look at the club in her hands at 2:35. The face is wide open. If you can square it from there, you'll be bowing the lead wrist. If you can't do that, or don't need to do that, this whole bowing the left wrist thing is just garbage. For the record, I have a very weak grip and I bow the left wrist accordingly, but only because for me the alternative is hooking the ball into the ground.

[@discusme3279]

very detailed and useful

[@ToddCiehomski]

The comments here are ridiculous. Great job Christina. You might consider doing a lesson on hand path in relation to the club head to tie it all together!

[@MegaTubescreamer]

👍😎

[@michellesalt3101]

Impossible to actually think about this in a golf swing

[@NA_Hemi]

Just curious how is it that there is no one ever at the course during your videos. How is that possible. heheheheh

[@roadhog6603]

Extra slow motion all the way through would be helpful. How about frame by frame.

[@MarkSmith-lz5rk]

Man I wanna know what it smells like

[@deeser286]

Hank Haney says you ladies bow the wrist too much

[@MarkSmith-lz5rk]

I wonder what it smells like

[@GeneMoretti]

Too much to think about.

[@thepaperthepen]

Moving from a fade feel to the bow wrist is a complete head spinner. Lots of overthinking

[@derkaderka4017]

Looks like your fingers are a little dirty.

[@Onemoreday1623]

Way to complicated for 99% of golfers. This takes years upon years and 100s of hours of practice to get right

[@TheRycooder]

Good Lesson but PLEASE stop repeating like your talking to children!

[@Eec2023]

What a peach….

[@rclarkrep100]

Yawn...good lesson
