God! I wasted do much time practicing wrong!! Thanks Mike, as usual, great explanation based on biomechanics. Your study of biomechanics makes your teaching so much better.

Golf Revelation! This wrist rolling business had baffled me since I was taught it and has severely damaged my progress! I saw one of your previous video and made the switch to wrist flex/extension instead of rolling and dropped 8 in 12 weeks! Many thanks 🙏!

Man, these are the best instructional videos on the internet. So practical and easy to understand!

Finally, this video solves my question and clarifies my confusion regarding the role played by the wrist.

I like the expression of "feel the force, don´t force the feel", I guess this is exactly what you mean Mike

This is "simply brilliant". (i.e. both simple and brilliant!!) Thanks Mike.

This is by FAR the best video I have found about wrist action, thank you! Most KZfaq instructors seem to advise flexing your wrist in the vertical plane rather than the horizontal one and that causes a big twist in the club in the backswing. It has felt more powerful than flexing as you do in this video because it's literally the motion you would use with a whip but that twisted club face means if I don't straighten that wrist out again before impact, I won't only hit it fat but I'll also hit a huge push out to the right. This method you describe seems superior to me.

I wish I knew about Mike 20 years ago. What awesome instruction. I’ve been an athlete most of my life and his golf instruction is so much like the other sports. Golf was never explained to me like other sports, it was always about positions. Mike explains it like it really is...an athletic motion!!

I love this video Mike. The description at the 4:14 mark is an “AHA” moment for me and making sure that might wrists allow that movement and yet keeps the face square has freed me to swing aggressively without fear. This has helped me immensely. Thank you!!!

Mike.. thanks .. thrown balls all my life .. never thought of the snap at the bottom of the swing this way.. cant wait to try ..

Changed my swing and grip bc of this video. It’s such an obvious and overlooked action. The wrist needs to throw/flick not twist. The wrist twists on its own but I’ve got such a weak right hand I feel like I have to help the club close. Strengthen the right hand and throw

Mike you are a genius. I've been watching your videos for few weeks. Got the chance to try some of your ideas today and instant results. Keep up the great work buddy !!!

Got a new set of clubs. Started from scratch. Open face. Inside out. Nothing but bad news. Went back to my baseball roots and boom, draws, cuts and fades. If every coach was as common sense as you, Mike, 18 holes would take 2 hours instead of 4+ 😆

Great tip Mike. I have practicing with it and my game is really improving. You are a great golf coach

I think the “early release, flipping the club” is likely from deceleration of the swing if the wrist is not causing the “casting” motion. Swing slower at the early stage of downswing may help in this case.

Directing the momentum is a great explanation to a proper efficient swing. Thank you!

Awesome tip Mike

Great videos, so helpful. Thanks

When we throw a ball are bodies clear so much better, when the average golfer swings a club they stall there body and thus flip at the ball, I use the tyre excercise to help me clear my body better and thus keep the club face sq to spine angle and swing arc, most golfers try to add to the swing ( late Ben Doyles advice), As Mike says when we throw we do not try and release we just do it, we dont ADD, great reminder Mike in this video.

Based on this lesson, I’m thinking that optimizing the right wrist movement should be a top priority for all golfers...⛳️🏌🏽‍♂️❤️

Always a great description of how the hands work I’ve adopted it completely my problem is I tend to at times to death grip it can you help with how to keep tension out of your swing I try but I always seem to increase tension at impact how can I stop it.

This is very, very helpful! Thank you so much.

Thanks for the tips Mike

Thanks. I love you all. John 3:15-17❤💯😀

Thanks!

This is a great video Mike, would be good in the first stage of the M System? Wish I'd learnt this 30 years ago when I started 😭

Thanx, I am hitting the ball very high due forcing the club head at impact which causes flipping Need to be working on just direct the momentum into the ball using my hips into the downswing.

Mike, this is gold !! Can you explain how much wrist hinge (ulner / radial deviation) you suggest to your students ? Personally for me, the more wrist cock I have the more it cups my writs which leads to open club face, leads to casting / steep.

Love it! Subscribed to website. Went for 4 hdcp to +2.

Several years ago the emphasis in videos was on the 'malaska move' 'tipping the club' etc. I don't hear much of that anymore and just wondering why the change. Are those conceptual ideas still valid?

I broken my right wrist twice. I don’t have the flexibility like you have. With my arms straight down and to make my club shaft parallel to the ground I have to let go with my grip of my right hand.

Great lesson

Hi Mike, have you ever studied the movement of a mediaeval trebuchet? An upside down golf swing with a great “wrist action “ despite not having a wrist. Just a loose hinge!

Mike please explain the difference between casting and the early release from the top as espoused by Jack Nicklaus. He does mention that the early release is incumbent on starting the downswing by shifting to the left.

I have a question. I watched your videos and am able to incorporate a lot of your teachings into my swing. But my biggest problem is I can have feel my right hand and can’t make it go through the ball. Can you advise me on how I might get through the ball to complete my swing. Please help

Wow... the weight of the club causes the wrist to cast.. mind blown. This is exactly my problem. does this club apply to every club? I notice that I turn more on the take away for driver but less for long irons.. and almost none for wedges or I lose compression..

very interesting. thank you!

Most people stop rotating what causes the arms to straighten. They are loosing all the lag or lets say lag tension. The shoulders should not be square at impact. That task should be right shoulder down left up.

Hi, Mike, I like your videos ,so have seen a lot, but am confused here. Could you check your old videos and make a complete video about wrist hinge with your newest discovery. In 2020 and 2021, it seems you're introducing wrist hinge back and forth, and you don't like the face opening up on backswing and closing down on downswing, but I saw a lot videos introducing wrist hinge up and down which causes forearm rotatating a lot in your demo videos before 2017. I'm really confused. Thank you!

Like many of your videos. Wish someone would do a slow motion version of the hand movement in a detailed fashion.

Reminds me Greg Normans - The Secret

I ve asked this of you b4. where should the wrist hinge on the backswing. Varied opinions. But i value yours. Have been playing since I was 20 now I am 76 and my body is ok but i m not very flexible. Like u r response please.

Good information

Nice Tips

*BRAVO!!!*

Great info. One question, though. Tom Tomasello talks about the right wrist bending back (like you do) and the left wrist rolling to the right (opening the clubface, as you say not to do). And he talks about doing this immediately starting the swing. That seems to open the clubface big time. What are your thoughts on that? Are you both saying the same thing and I'm just misunderstanding?

somehow I can't match this with the L to L videos. Don't see / feel that angle in the right wrist being that pronounced or being held that long for L to L, doesn't feel like throwing a ball. How we can get L on the follow through (Right arm pronation) if we throw the ball as shown @5:10? Isn't that showing a scoop or flip? The swing that followed was sweet though.

As I feel it, is the momentum of the club head accelerating through the point of impact created by the back wrist extension releasing just before or just after the moment of impact?

Mike what's the difference between you and your assistant coach Milo Line's teaching, as he does not advocate losing the angles in the wrists at all, very confusing.

I was working on this today. Is momentum thrown off when the hands do not travel on the correct path?

I am facing high lofted / casted shots all my Career and could not really get it lower. When I try to .... I often hit dreadful shanks because the hands are so far forward. When hitting the ball naturaly Its so hard to be passive with the hands or let the unhinging with the wrist happen late to get this low penetrating ball flight. I had hoped you would explane this a bit better how to deal with this and how to train this better.

Great

How can you rotate your arms in the b/s without the clubhead rotating? Mike seems to recommend arm rotation in the L to L videos or am I wrong in this? If so, why? Thanks Ian

Do you speak of centrifugal or centripetal force at 5.32?

But don’t I need to make a conscious effort to unhinge the wrist at impact if I want increased swing speed?

✔

In your example swing (min 2), your club face opens in the Back Swing, and is shut in the mid follow through... FOREARM ROTATION!

How many comic answers do you want for this question????

The wrist extends on the backswing, not flexion. Mike is using the wrong term here.

Can't speak for golf. But pronation of the forearm is the most important aspect of a baseball throw, not wrist flexion. That's an illusion.

Thanks!
