As usual - a ridiculously good video! Best coach out there by so far. You must have helped sooo many people to improve and enjoy the game more. Thanks for all your effort.

You're so right champ ... most have been teaching it all wrong for a looooong time ... but also coaches are not teaching people to keep hands LOW at setup to free that lower body more up and get totally tension free. I noticed how low you are so that club shaft at setup has a good degree of angle from ur arms to shaft (sitting much like ur body is = a little V-shape) ... arms straight-ish down and club head way in front cause hands so low. This is massively important for both that wrist move as it is for hips and knees to be "activated" effortless as u make it all look out to be. BEST COACH ever ... totally agree with that ... no matter how good one is .... from ur videos everyone learns and benefits a great deal ;)))))

I'm new to watching your videos but what a difference it's made already. Had my best practice session ever today. Can't wait to take it on the course. Great tips, great visuals. Thank you!

I did this today and it was absolutely amazing the impact it made on my compression and ability to draw my mid irons especially. Thanks Clay. I'm hooked on your videos.

Game changer ! I have been looking for this info for so long.

Great video Clay. The whole wrist and hands movement is the one thing that I am inconsistent with. Sometimes I hit great shots when it clicks and on other occasions I get sliced shots. This video breaks down the movement. Thanks a lot 👏🏽👍🏽

Thanks for your videos Clay! Just subscribed, been watching you for a few weeks now while trying to teach myself to golf :) You're one of the best out there!

I practiced this on the range today before playing a round. I was hitting them the purest i have ever. I got a lot more distance but I wasn’t loading my lower body. I will practice that next. THANK YOU FOR THE TIP!!!

Excellent........ that drill was working to perfection so well yesterday at the range the pouring rain didnt bother me one bit...... thanks Clay

Worked like a charm

exactly what ive been trying, and failing to sort. Cant wait to try this. Great video, Clay.

Great 😊😊Coach So many great instructions Nothing but progress and distance and accuracy 💪💪 Thanks Coach Clay😊 And not beat up from it 😂 lol

thanks! good lesson

Clay ya did it again lol hit a 295 driver by shallowing it and now I’m not topping it as much lol it’s unreal what a few changes will do!! You da bomb brotha

A topic a thought about yesterday but haven't seen advice on is slopes. How to train for ball positioned on a down/up/ angled slope

This topic isn't talked about enough. Thanks for always putting out quality content! This video, among countless others of yours, is money!

Very good, Clay

This is fantastic, helped me so much! Thanks a ton!

I like it much.

"pro impact position" - love that.

Hi Clay, thx for all the great content you put out!! as a beginner golfer, should I start with half swings, be sure to ace them first and then progress slowly to 3/4 and full? Or should I practice full swings from the get go? Cheers!

Been playing for years, low single, never knew why my distance was not there, Saw this, completely the opposite of what i was doing. Yada yada yada, i hit my 4 iron 200 now... Guess u really know ur stuff) Thanks

Unfortunately one of my early instructors told me to swing my right hand "like a tennis racket," but I don't think he played tennis because you twist your right wrist forward in tennis to give it top spin. That's not what you want to do in golf! It messed me up for a long time. I've been able to correct it though thanks to these lessons. Thanks Clay!

Been following your videos for a while, didn't realize you were an EKU guy! I've been a member out at Arlington for the past 3 years, thinking I shouldn't try this smother hook method on #6...

Great advice, I’ll try that tomorrow

Would we want to do this with driver as well since technically we’re trying to hit up on the ball with no forward shaft lean?

4:54 "I promise you you can't overdo this." Dude, you haven't seen me go at it yet. When I started topspeedgolf, I was fighting a slice for years. Now I sometimes can't hit a fade and hook about 1 of every 4.

I tried it and can see more shaft lean at impact, but ball flight is hard left or push hook. How do you draw the ball this way? Seems like club face is completely shut at impact.

Clear instruction, it stops my ball going to the right.

I struggle with this the most.

I never really understood or bought into a lot of hands forward at impact. One reason is; using the club's bounce as designed is best for most players. Avoiding the leading edge digging in will benefit most of your audience, Clay. Focusing on simply laying the right (back) wrist back is enough intention to avoid an early release and the weak, non-compressed strikes caused by the club head ahead of the hands at impact. The wrist action in this video is not the wrist action of the GOATs if you consider Hogan, Snead, Nelson and Wright as the GOATs. If you simply hit what Elkington calls the "non-negotiable line of compression" which will have the shaft exactly perpendicular to the ground at impact with your right (back) hand slightly cupped and your left (front) hand slightly bowed, with ball placement about left nipple or slightly forward of that, which causes those hand positions automatically, all is good. If you end up with one or two degrees of forward shaft lean, no harm no foul. Impact is solid, you are using the iron with the bounce it was designed with, and the leading edge digging in is eliminated. The extreme hooding of the club face on the way back is evidence of the golf community copying the "modern" tennis forehand; specifically the Rick Macci "pat the dog" backswing first introduced by the great Vic Braden back in the tennis boom days. Again, it's not the backswing action of the GOATs. To me, it is a death move because of the cause and effect it has upstream. The juggernaut PING certainly is banking on this extreme hands forward position because of the extreme amount of bounce built in to their irons. Twelve or thirteen degrees of bounce on a PING pitching wedge is begging you do throw the hands way forward to reduce the bounce felt at impact. Just my opinion of course, but I value simplicity very much.

Is this for drivers and woods also clay?

Why would you not keep the club face closed on backswing instead of closing the face in the downswing?

Can’t you accomplish the same thing by turning your clubface counter clock wise when you take your grip?

Do you still teach and would it be possible to come over (post CoVID) from Amsterdam and have a few lessons in a two-week period? (f.vos"AT"anthos.net)

I hit that hook too much without trying. How do I get rid of that?

Do you still "bow" with strong grip?

Y would u want forward shaft lean if most people don’t like speed

It all feels so unnatural I feel like I’ll never learn it loo

Thanks to you Clay I can now hit 300+ yard bombs now

Wow your confusing
