Golf Tip: Wrist Action; David Glenz:

[craigt611]

This teaching appears incorrect. This promotes a flip and not the correct release of the wrists as I understand it. There are much better videos on the internet than this. Move to something else that teaches the correct way

[adicia1]

Everyone has their own ideas about which grip and what wrist movement is best. Use what wrist action works for you. I've been playing for a little over 2 years and I've broken 80 using Mr. Glenz's wrist motion (vs low to mid 90's and being frustrated over supinating the left wrist technique). Remember, Moe Norman did it all wrong according to conventional thought, but was the most accurate ball striker in the history of golf.

Tell me how a hinge type, for example an angeled (like David talks about in this example) or a vertical one are bound to end up like a flip, like you say. Tell me! :) Don't you think angle of attack and impact point affects things (besides what David talks about here)? Perhaps you should read up real knowledge on the golf swing, and stop take lessons from your local hack. Try TGM. If you can't comprehend stuff like that, come back when you break 90 asshole.

[cockywatchman1976]

@4JRimmer You don't understand what an angled hinge is. You also don't understand TGM-TGM essentials are a flat left wrist and bend right wrist at impact. The left wrist UPCOCKS and the right wrist BENDS back. This video is completely wrong in every way...for starters it's pointless as we dont grip a club like a book!!! I don't have to worry about 90-since I regularly and usually break 80. You are blatantly a hacker who thinks he understands concepts, but you get it totally wrong!

[4JRimmer]

This teaches you the feel for a perfect Angeled Hinge, speaking TGM terms.

(the best hinge-type i might add)

[adicia1]

I wish I learned this 3 years ago instead of the supination of left wrist theory. After using this, I've gotten my first eagle, and broke 80 for the first time, so... this isn't rubish at all! Caution to people just starting out though... breaking the wrist too early (poor timing) is common for people just starting out and leads to outside-in swing paths which will lead to slices or pulls. p.s. Sam Snead was a big proponent of the wrist snap, which was this in a nut shell.

[TheEab1234]

It is not Rubbish! What he is saying is true.

[cockywatchman1976]

Compltely WRONG advice. Please dont listen this is rubbish

[4JRimmer]

@cockywatchman1976

You are rubbish. That I can say for sure.

[TheRealOzzie234]

@aron below

You can't apply this type of feel and release action without having a healthy swing path. You're likely coming from outside in hitting those straight left shots and pulls. Check you swing path, and also check your wrist/hands/clubface follow-through (first quarter). The proper release action is with a club face SQUARE to swing path - do not roll over (until the swivel takes over)!!

DAVE...many thanks for your tips/inspirations! ARNIE has inspired many with his PROSTATE awareness;perhaps you can inspire YOUR senior friends in VISION awareness..."macular degeneration(AMD)." AMD has surpassed Prostate cancer in stats now!! A silent anomaly, AMD needs your HELP with awareness please!

Good golfing!

[sulakleo]

Please watch IMPACT SNAP ,,videos to help you understand this

[FairwayJack]

Great vid. This particular advice is for low handicappers. Learn the golf swing with a flat left wrist first. Once that is ingrained add the wrist bowing along with torso rotation as he says and you'll see power increased exponentially.

[rave154]

good lord, this is almost unbelievable that a "pro" is advising people to try and bend their left wrist through impact *shakes head*

[chabelyk]

golferdscott: I too have spent >$4k on golf lesson i.e. GolfTec (worthless) and other instuctors. Not one explained how the wrists should move through impact. If you know how the wrist should work through impact, the body will figure out how to move the club on the back swing and follow Because it's s important to a good golf shot. If it's not important, why do the pros practice the wrist action/ release so often during pre shot routines?

[SMB0632]

Setting the wrist on the shaft line as suggested here works for me. I find it very important to do the same thing on the follow through, ie don't be afraid of cupping as long as it is on the original shaft line. Might not work for everybody but it is definitely more consistent than "rotate, cock" as suggested.

[MityMitch]

this is the head pro at my academy. hes awesome and teaches so much! glad i got a great coach

[aaronjpfx12]

I tried this drill, but I ended up got the chicken wing. what happened was at the impact I snap my wrist like so, and my left arm quit working (no extension and left elbow coming in toward my left hip). My ball flights either go straight left (pull) or pull slice.

[TheRealOzzie234]

This way to set your wrists will make your clubFACE much more squarly aligned to you clubSHAFT line (swing plane). This is what ALL good golfers do. Anybody practicing a wrist cocking straight up and not more "backwards" is going to have to do much more compensations by the hands/wrists on the way down to square the face. That's bad. This guy is so spot on with both the analysis and the motion, I bet he has the world record of low hcp'ed pupils. :)

[TheRealOzzie234]

This is gold, and EXACTLY what you should do. Never get too much into the active hands roll & swivel crap. I would take instruction from this guy any day.

(and this opinion comes from a guy scoring in the 70-75 range)

[juicyfruitzy]

thanks for the tip! it helped a lot increased distance by 10 yards. This tip is only useful if the golfer is properly sequencing everything else. In other words, for this to be effective, you better be starting your golf swing from the ground up using your hips. If you are not sure what I'm referring to check out Ben Hogan videos on youtube and incorporate this and voila! magic.

[golferdscott]

This is the first and only explanation of the wrist action I've ever seen. I spent $2000 over the last year on lessons and not once did the instructor explain this critical point. Today I spent 30 minutes on the range getting comfortable with timing my wrist and body rotation prior to playing. Even with leaving a few bone head strokes out there, I still shot 81. I had more confidence than I've ever had. Primarily because I was not worried about my swing. I got to focus on my shots!

[woottoots]

i hit thumb down by accident.... i give this a BIG thumb UP!

never have i been able to get this part of the swing in my head until now. every other method seems to require more timing and effort and quite frankly i'm not that good of an athlete to understand. this makes sense to me.

[FairwayJack]

When do I add the wrist action? Just before impact or right after?

[rijswijkse]

That hurts, especially when you generate a lot of speed...

[bgsgolf]

Where does it hurt? If your left wrist hurts then you're not releasing it correctly through impact.

[SonicandShadow1993]

Could you help me, I'm an 18 handicapper and my coach says that if you hinge your wrist its bad, its all about body rotating and the club face will square up naturally but.....?

[bgsgolf]

left wrist cock/uncock and right wrist bends so that's hinging! No matter what the wrist position is at setup, at impact you must have flat and level left wrist and bent right wrist.

As far as squaring the club face, body rotation is one way if you'd utilize swing motion utilizing centrifugal force but there are other ways as well.

I hope I've answered your question regarding wrist hinging? Want to discuss more in detail regarding squaring up the club face?

BTY, above is for right hand golfer.
