Hey mark… any chance you could post a full video of this with a down the line view too?
Roy Dawn Mate
His went further because he cocked his wrist and released at impact. Cmon Mark!!
Great for whacking weeds. Golfing not so much.
Guess what? New follower for you mark 😂🎉
And they START TO NATURALLY HINGE THEIR WRISTS. It's all about not overthinking it. Find what feels right.
I want that shit to fly high
True, I always use this way of swing when it doesn't go well on the course. It really improves my shots with my normal swing after doing 'the worden man'. The wrists seem the follow naturaly.
I just figured this out on the driveing range yesterday
Thanks!
I find the more wrist the more control I get so one size doesn’t fit all
You lose distance tho.
Too much tension. Using your wrists and throwing the club provides more club head speed with way less effort
Don’t cock your wrists. Don’t cock your wrists. On the actual swing cocks the wrists. lol. Feel vs real. It does work.
But when you actually swung, you cocked your wrist
So it seems all golf videos are like let me chat for 95% of the time, instead of actually showing how to play? Horrible, i can do better. Might have to. Thumbs down.
self tuaght that swing. have to stay kinda stiff. but im learning
JonRham, Johnnnn Rhaaam. Remember those coach videos, he had such a struggle out there
I love when he actually takes hit shot, he has a lot of wrist bend!! Doesn’t maintain what he’s actually telling us to try.
Timmy Mallet did well for himself off the TV
But he didn't even follow his advice at the end? He tilted his elbow and wrists really hard
For everyone saying he doesn't take his own advice at the end of the video. I think the point is how you perceive your swing is rarely what your swing actually is. Exaggerating the movements in your swing thoughts/practice swings are a very common tool to compensate for common mistakes in your actual swing. So you visualize this wooden swing, you exaggerate it in the practice and then with that muscle memory in your mind you make your swing.
Dude demonstrates big shoulder actions, straight arms. Then when he goes to hit it's completely different and has angles in the elbow…
Amen bro
Biggest takeaway for me is stop trying to control the outcome! Set up – tilt and turn
If I swing at 60% I’m a 5hcp, if I swing at 70% I’m a 10hcp, if I swing at 90% I’m a 15hcp. That’s why I swing at 110% every round I play.
Literally just watched a short talking about the wrist. As a beginner idk whose advice to follow.
No divot?
I do this and my father tells me not to swing my arms, instead only using the body and not so much movement with arms. However he sees i hit the ball much better using more arms. Its frustrating i cant hit for shit the way he tells me to.
Been eatin bananas wrong my whole life…
What’s the Serwaa Afrifa-Crocker of this club? Thanks
Having no lag and flipping your wrist isn’t adding yardage, it’s taking LOTS of yardage away. Squaring the face is important yes but flipping your irons is inconsistent and for anyone looking to hopefully become scratch isn’t going to be flipping their wrist they’re compressing the ball.
That’s my swing now (wooden man) the issue is everything after 7 iron goes the same distance due to club head speed
Doesnt feel natural though ? Throwing a stone or swinging any other items we break the wrists ? This seems to robotic
Lost 3mph and about 5 yards
The Tommy Fleetwood swing. He calls them “windmill” swings and did this drill to improve strike only to find it was a very playable swing and not just a drill.
Golf is coo 🎉
❤
The key for me has been less wrist combined with a shorter backswing.
Looks similar to what you see Steve Stricker do on the golf course. I offered to trade golf swings with him. He laughed!!
Works the opposite for me
Thanks for the feel. My wrists were really messing up my swing and release – chicken wing, flipping, rising etc. 'Contact from rotation, not wrists.'
Your practice swings didn’t involve the wrist however when you actually hit the ball they came into play. Do as I say, not as I do perhaps? 🤔
Im very new to golf and thats how i was told to swing. Now im hitting the ball so much better.
