The Most Powerful Move in the Golf Swing - and They Don't Want You to Use It!

The feeling I have is axing the ball with the far edge of the iron, turning through it results square. Same idea, alternate thought, smooth rules.

Add disc golf wrist snap to that

Thanks, Steve 👍🏼

Every baseball pitcher knows this wrist snap is key to power. Snap a towel with wrist locked, not. Why did you just discover this?

Another game changer for me. I have to work on range before I commit to good or bad.

Step-Turn-Snap!

Technically, this is a release when the swing is allowed to naturally turn over at the lowest point of the swing or the pinnacle of the pendular motion. It goes back to the old advice from Bem Hogan, that you have to give up a little bit of control to gain control.

Same technique for the driver?

It works, I use it for my 6 iron always and I think i picked up that technique on the range.

Many thanks, wish you showed a few strikes with your data from your Track man. Would be very interesting to see.

The reason why people are confused is clearly by watching your motion with your hand. You flip your hand, you don’t move it very gradually. It’s how it appears, so maybe you’re a bit at fault with your delivery. Start with it being clear just don’t end it clear.
Lol

Where was it banned? Click bait. Turned it off.

Great video!
Will save and watch a few more times -- and then try to "do it" in my 75-year-old man's swing.
Thank you,
Tom

Doesn't Hogan state that this happens automatically by the moment of the club head at the bottom of the swing

At 14 I won a junior tourn by shooting 71 from the men's tees on a course that was approx 7,000 yds. This was back in the early 70s. Played with a set of Tommy Armour irons and woods and used a spinny Titleist. Beat the #2 all AF guy at 15 to win the base championship. Once in a while my left wrist would hurt. And people commented that I came off the ground when hitting the ball. I only weighed 120 lbs at 5'2" at the time but could carry the ball 230 back then. Had I not listened to my "elders" I could of made something of my golf talent. If you have a scrawny little kid who really knows how to put on the brakes and transfer momentum to the head of a golf club encourage it. It's the real way to hit a golf ball.

For beginners under 90, this is not a good idea.

Those softball pitchers are hard to watch. They make me imagine severe shoulder pain.

As we play golf year after year, we continue to ask ourselves "Just how many secrets of the pros are there that none of us will ever know"?

Steve as usual an outstanding description lof the subject with clear explanations. You’re definitely one of the best teachers on the net. Mike Malaska is great and so are you. I have been following you for years and must say that you’re right on. You don’t use click bait like some do. And by the way you don’t take forty minutes to explain something when you can do it in five. I appreciate your expertise.

Am i the only one here who disagrees with him? There should not be be wrist snap at contact. There is actually no wrist snap in tennis serve.

Great video. Going to try this at the range tomorrow. I always hit straight but freeze at impact to square club path to ball.

You are right on. Thank you for confirming for us ‘naturals’ who follow our instincts what is the right thing to do. You are our hero. Thanks.

It makes money to pretend like these athletes are pulling the club down instead of throwing the club out it's it's the secret that's the secret in golf if you got a weight shift or a pressure shift into the left snap that wrist keep your shoulders back let the club do the work there's your power

This bit of flip also can square up the club face for many as holding the set wrist can leave the face open. When you bend the wrist back it does not keep club face square it naturally opens some, but flipping the wrist back before impact squares the face up try it.

You’re teaching how to release the club. If you’re trying to hold off most people are doing that with the left hand. ( for right handed golfers)
Try to correct the chicken wing. To free up wrist action.
Follow through WITH EXTENSION!”
You’re not swinging a sword.

Just like you need to stay wide with the hands in the backswing, you need to finish wide in the follow through

great video

I always struggling to understand how an actual club face movement prior to impact. There were hundreds dozens of videos that just couldn't explain it well and did it their way. I remembered when I started hitting golf for the fitst time, I managed to hit quite far with flipping although the posture was not there. But since trying to master the 'right way' , the distance disappeared. Hope this new revelation would gain me 50-80 extra yards. Thanks.

Hey Steve, I noticed your take away is a tiny curved. I used to do that and had slight fade. After lessons with course pro I slice or snap slice like a really bent banana. Can't seem to get the old swing back. Can you do a swing drill with the driver please.

Great video well explained

Didn’t Mike say something about throwing a football underhanded?

Cant do it without active wrists.
PenguinGolf

Perhaps a place to start is just relaxing wrists. arms, shoulders vs tightened up trying to steer to positions - that no normal brain can handle really, but sounds intelligent in lessons. Ugh. Thanks!!

😂

🤮

I used to throw the club head at the ball with great results until I was convinced that my bad shots during a round was the result of me adding loft by flipping the club head through the swing. So, I started paying attention to keeping my wrist locked throughout the swing. I attributed the loos of distance to my age and missed the fact that it was the sequence of my swing that was what was causing the bad shots during a round.
Your GREAT video has showed me that it is the SEQUENCE of my swing that was causing the occasional bad shots. I have friends who are in their late 50’s to early 70’s who drive the ball 250-300 yards with swings that look effortless.
You have made it so clear that the sequence of my swing is an important element that I must fix along with the loading and unloading of my wrist. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT VIDEO. I can’t wait to get to the range today to start working on my swing.

Thanks…Steve…I’m old school on what you sharing on the right wrist.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Make it swoosh! love that ,, great video sir.

Wish i knew this 25 years ago. I blame golf digest and magazine instructors. Butch harmon and david leadbetter misled a generation of golfers

I tried this and actually had the feeling of my left hand stopping at the ball and my right hand taking over the top. Also felt like the end of the golf handle was pointing at the center of my body on the downswing. Crazy change for me.

I will definitely give it a try. Th

Thank you. You are spot on I was amazed at how much farther the ball flew. I have a tendency to hook the ball a little too much but I think that is a matter of getting my body turned a little before impact so flexion is more down the target line

How do you hit into the back of the ball prior to your swing hitting the bottom of it's arch?

Think about using ANY implement. Ax, hammer, sledge, throwing a rock, ball, frisbee.
You HAVE to have a RELEASE.
Our timing of the release based on hand and eye coordination dictates the quality of the shot. END OF STORY.

The reason Hogan held on a little was because of his legs after his car accident. He couldnt rotate as hard/fast as he did before the accident

Hogan spoke of releasing his hands HARD into the ball

Well done Steve, great video, classic Mike Austin and Mike Dunaway move, brilliant
