Thanks so much 🙏🏻

One of the most useful golf instructional videos ever. Cleared up some confusion for me.

There is a channel world class golf has discussed this exact same concept or a while. It’s incredible info I’m surprised to see more mainstream instructors aren’t showing this.

Thanks Matt

Thanks William glad it was helpful 🙏🏻

This. This. This. I focused on keeping my wrists flat and not “flipping” so much that I stopped releasing at all and lost all power. Started releasing the club through impact and found my swing and started striping the ball. 👏 bravo

Thanks Gary

Thanks James appreciate it 🙏🏻

Thanks 🙌

Thanks and I really hope it does, thanks for watching

Thanks 🙌

Thanks 🙏🏻

Thanks Peter

Thanks Roy

Hope it helps Mark

Thanks John

I am exactly like you. While I enjoyed the video. I am confuse by drill 1 cup left wrist but when I get connected left arm the left wrist is flat and clubface is over rolled and shut. Its not cupped.

Yes absolutely, the timing must be right but yes definitely a speed boost move

100%, the hands should start slowing down quite a bit before impact to get that release as you mention 🙏🏻

Ha I really needed to give my mind and body a break from golf I thought. But I can't seem to stick to a break past a day or 2. Luckily it's been raining for the past 4 days here and getting the break I needed. One or two videos like this slipped in here and there.

Love that Derek, thanks and drop me a message if you have any questions 🙏🏻

@@ChrisRyanGolf wow thanks for the reply! Any particular part of the backswing that you can recommend to set your wrist? Before or after first parallel? My wrists like to have a mind of their own at times (former baseball player) and mostly on the takeaway at the top of my backswing.

Yes this would be the same for both, there would be subtle changes in how the wrists move, but the same pattern would be present. Path would be different which could be created at set up or through swing

Thanks Robert 🙏🏻

Hey David, at impact the trail wrist would be bent, lead wrist pretty flat but they key think is those aren’t holding though the shot but releasing, so a snapshot just a few feet later would show something very different

Yes absolutely 🙏🏻

Thanks so much and really appreciate the comment 🙏🏻

Chances are your body rotation stalls, your arms take over, and it becomes "flippy". The result is usually low and left.

Hey, not east to explain my terminology in text form but I’ll have a go. Your wrist has two types of movement, if you open up your lead hand you can move your fingers to point more down to the ground or up to the sky, this would be wrist set. Then you can pull your fingers back toward your lead shoulder creating a cup in the worst or move then the other way to arch the wrist, this would be a different movement and this is generally known as worst hinge, but that terminology can vary. Essentially those are the two movements that we all use in our swing Not sure if that helped but hopefully so Chris

Hi Chris You are right about terminology. Different folks have different definitions and views. Some say the wrists have THREE movements not two.. Let's start with the left wrist only and start with left hand fingers pointing straight ahead perpendicular to the target line ( it gets complicated because the right wrist has just the opposite movements) being the Start Position for this demo. Here is my understanding of this murky area. ONE-The bending back of the left wrist towards the front of the lead left forearm so the fingers point target wards is generally known as "cupping" the left/lead wrist. Many also call this (the "cupping" ) "extending" or " extension" of the the lead left wrist. The bending forward of the lead left wrist towards the back of the lead forearm so the fingers point away from the target is generally known as "bowing" the lead wrist. Many also call this bowing a "flexion" of the lead wrist. TWO- Starting from the start position, the vertical upward bending of the lead wrist so finger point to the sky is generally called a "cocking" of the lead wrist. I think you call it "arching" the lead wrist but am not sure and is why I posed the question but the upward bending vertically of the lead wrist so the fingers point upward strikes me as an "arching" the left wrist. Downward bending of wrist is known as "un-cocking" the wrist with the fingers pointing downward. THREE- The turning or twisting of the lead wrist to the right is known as a clockwise movement of the wrist so the palm of the lead hand faces the ground. The opposite turning or twisting of the lead wrist is the "counterclockwise movement " where the palm of the lead hand faces the sky. This is my understanding of the three movements of the wrists that are incorporated together to one degree or another in a golf swing.. Harold

I think the wrists are like a well oiled hinge that allow the bodies momentum to be transferred to the club head. What Chris has done here is basically to say don’t impede that. Most golf videos and golf instruction I see show the left wrist bowed well after impact. I am always thinking to myself that this doesn’t make sense. What they’re trying to do, I think, is to exaggerate the bowed left wrist to keep people from cupping to left wrist too early.

Probably the best bit of kit out there for wrists so please don’t throw that away 🤣 Shows tho exactly wha the wrists do do really useful

Hey Craig, (assume it’s Craig, apologies if not) happy to connect over email or phone if you wanted to discuss this?

Didn’t know u could patent golf drills and mechanics 😂

That’s a fair point if you think that, I’ve just watched it back and after 90 seconds I’ve explained who this video may be suited to, I think that’s pretty important, then showed some visual examples so that the golfer now also has some correct visual concepts, in my experience that’s also pretty important, out of interest why did you think those points were irrelevant to you?

@@ChrisRyanGolf It's likely more of a reflection on me but I felt the start could have been more concise. Tell me what we're here for, make it clear to get started. Put the pro examples throughout the lesson to reinforce. Just a preference really.

Thanks, and so do I a lot of the time 😁

Thanks Ron 🙏🏻
