Probably the best golf coach on KZfaq.

Yep, I have thought about how "vertical" my club was at impact, so this is great. This is the first video I've ever seen address this like you have

Excellent. Super helpful and explained with clarity.

This is the issues I have had with longer clubs, 3 and/or 5 wood - hitting it thin or fat with the balls flying low. Thanks for the analysis.

Good stuff. Always nice to hear some different thoughts to better understand the golf swing.

Thanks so much JKM!!! This was the best video that clearly explains of why i hit thin most of my golf shots!! Well done!!!

Always great instruction from JKM. 👍

This lesson is amazing! This explains so much of my issue with my irons!

Ya did it again... plain n simple. Just another bit of info on the release ... keep them nuggets coming sir.ty

the right video at the right time for me. thanks Jon.

Excellent instruction yet again 🎉

Great video - I had a lesson recently where I was told I had too much wrist set and that chasing lag was terrible for strike

You nailed it 👏 👌 very detailed and a lot of information in an easy to follow/understand/implement fashion 👍

Will try to incorporate this for my irons,5wd and hybrid. Thanks!

Thank you so much! This fixed my issue

Excellent stuff. Finally, a true "teacher"!

This is exactly my problem. All the way through. Thanks! 😎

Fingers crossed this will sort my thin shot out thankyou for the lesson

Thanks, Jonathan, for a great instructional video. You have helped me enormously improve my game.

Thank You.............your videos are excellent

wishing you the very best in your teaching endeavors..

to the point, excellent presentation

Thanks for all the great videos. Any chance you will have any short game instruction? Weakest part of my game.

Thanks JKM! My play definitely has improved with your instruction. Losing the arm wrestling match always comes to mind. Some ulnar deviation with the irons, handle slightly higher @ impact than @ address, got it. Question: Could some radial deviation be beneficial with a ball teed up pretty high for a driver?

I think you may have solved one of the many problems I have with the golf swing. I have arthritis in my spine( I am well into my eighties,handicap from 18 now 44)so have been trying different swings. A shorter swing is now easier but found after hitting the ball (not chicken wing) I have been pulling the club in towards my body with slight bend in lead arm. So will try your drill and perhaps be able to score my age. Wishfull thinking

Love your videos man! Do you have any on good backswings? I kinda feel like I can never get my club in a good spot in the backswing.

This was right on time

Thanks!

Wow I have had t-rex short arm problem forever. Thin shots. Will work on this. Thanks

I hit great shots some of the time but miss it too often usually fat or thin. More often fat than thin. I made some adjustments to better de-loft the club and it’s closer to mixed on fat/thin. I usually break 90 but have too many chunks or thin shots to break 80. Had 84 recently which is close to my best

I definitely get a bit of a chicken wing follow through and the occasional thin or shank. Excited to go try this on the range.

Wow! I am a thinner and this is eye opening. I have been purposely trying to maintain as much radial deviation and right side bend thru impact as possible with the mission being to minimize club head rate of closure. This may explain my consistently thin contact. So my question would be, would increasing ulnar deviation thru impact introduce more face rotation and the need for increased timing in the swing or would that not be of concern? Thanks for your help.

Are my hands like this at impact with driver to?

Would love to see you do a chipping video based around this concept. A lot of us struggle with thinning the ball on short game shots.

Good video

Great video thanks. Can I ask how much you charge for video analysis and online instruction please?

I hit way too many of my longer approach shots ( including irons / woods / hybrids ) thin .......it is becoming very frustrating .....I am going to give this drill a try........thank you

Nice example of how the wrists work at this point. Quick question. Because the hands are a bit lower at address. By the time they are at 8 o'clock then 9 o'clock should they be more like they were at address in some radial deviation or more unlar deviation like they are past impact as you describe here. Not sure what to do. With the the wrist angle in the takeaway. Pls help.

This makes sense. I just looked in the mirror while doing this drill and the club face looks like it is in a better position to the ground.

Travino mentioned this, but with chipping. He was recorded in one of his clinics and was put on KZfaq

I am having a problem moving my right shoulder back can you let me know what I can do to help this TonyG

should impact be ulnar deviation and right hand extension at the same time?

Does the ulnar deviation at impact apply to all the clubs?

I recently watched a video on this subject and one of the causes is not getting deep enough in the backswing, which is caused by not getting the trail hip deep enough. This results in a steep swing instead of a rounded one.

the feeling of pressing thumbs down with handle higher than clubbed is a good visual.

I’m hitting a lot of thin shots so that makes sense. What if I start out at address with wrists already extended?

Would raising the handle at address to the impact position make the downswing simpler.. Just as swinging on the same plane does... Thanks for the brilliant videos... Helped me drop from 32 to 25.

Would this be identified if you always take a practice swings without a ball and never hit the ground?

There’s a lot out there on the teaching sites that says to keep your hands lower at address. I took that to also keep them low thru impact - and, yes, my miss is thin. And, a little left. Never right or fat. Exactly the outcomes you suggest might be from my swing. My compensation is to side bend on the downswing and definitely ‘go down and get it.’ But that’s hard for me - hence the thin as a bad. Interested to both try your drill as well as see the next in your series.

my THIN is clubhead still decending with divot 4-6" past the ball...swing is in CHAOS right now...argh!!!!

Where do you teach is at Moss Beach off of Highway one

Jonathan where in Canada are you? And do you do private lessons

first! Anyway, I thin to win. Better than a chunk

My ball makes a divot every time i thin it 😂😂😂 still better than a chunk though
