Nice job, well done. The most understandable teaching I’ve ever encountered. If only it were available so many years ago. It is in detail but made easy to follow. No kidding, it’s much better than any lesson or any school I’ve attended. I will recommend.
Incredible, so much information. You put ten lessons into one. I find it much easier to extend the right wrist early than trying to time the right forearm role.
I very much like your ability to verbalized the movements of a golf swing. Of all the golf instructors I have viewed online, you, Mr Heritage would be my choice if I were to pursue private lessons.
Great video Russ. I used to hinge like that and some pro switched me the other way.and I always thought I had bad fundamentals, but when I played bad I would go to early wrist hinge and play better. After seeing this I will just clear my head and use the early right hand hinge. Thanks again.
Good advice Russell,I’m having problems with my take away as I am inclined not to bend my right wrist,hence lack of distance and a high ball flight,will practice your instruction at the range.
I started doing that Elkington stance where the left foot is a little open. I do it as a reminder to turn that left hip to make room for the downswing. Might just be a bandaid for now, but it seems to work okay.
THIS is exactly what I have spent this year working on... Takes a bloody long time to teach an old dog new tricks but seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Great explanation
Great video Russell. I've always found the one piece takeaway hard to integrate with the rest of the backswing so the early hinging of the wrists is so much easier. It feels like one movement then rather trying to piece two movements together. Nice one.
Incredible!! I wish I knew these things 30 yrs ago. I have always "stood-up" at impact. Instructors have videoed me and said to "stay down". They NEVER told me how to do this. On your lesson I didn't really understand open-or-shut at top (in relation to wrist break )(Hogan or Nicklaus). Thanks, Tom in L.A.
Standing up through impact is basically thrusting your groin at the ball instead of keeping your bum pushed back. Maintain spine angle coming down by keeping your bum pushed back. Spine angle is lost on the way by pushing too hard too soon off the right leg, so wait a bit longer after the transition from backswing into downswing before you push off your right leg. This will keep your bum pushed back & maintain spine angle longer in the downswing and stop you standing up through impact.
Russel, thank you for your great channel. I have been looking and searching for technical details, invested many hours. I have found all the answers that I have been craving for, for many years. I am going to try and visit you in this coming year from Holland.. Pete.
My local coach introduced the concept of "losing an arm-wrestling match" at the top of the backswing (which you also outline in this video). I think the difference is my local coach did not incorporate the concept of forearm rotation which makes perfect sense. I started this season at an 18.1 and I'm still an 18.1. Maybe this will help with my ball striking and I can finally break 18!
Hi Russell, I have been watching your channel for a while and love the content. I enjoy the description now know why I was a flipper of the wrist. I would love to visit , but Australia is a bit far away. Keep the videos coming please. I tend to grip the club tight, do you have a section on grip pressure please?
Your video is coming up over the weekend. You will need to work more on your backswing than anything else. (More lateral bend / steeped shoulders as you drift forward in downswing.) sorry it’s taken too long but been busy.... 👍
hello... great work on all of your videos ! if i sent you my swing in slow mo.. can you tell me if i am (what type of hinge wrist swinger i am?) thanks in advance..
I started this early hinge yesterday with my irons and it works! I agree with Hogan there is no better feeling then hitting the sweet spot of the club! So then I went through my bag and my driver has some slicing and blocks. This morning after more of the same..great irons but poor driver. I tried narrowing my take away with my driver. I recall when Tiger was in his 2nd or 3rd awaking and I was living Scotland years ago the big thing was that he got his distance from his wide take away. So that became my goal. Thus, my question: where should the early hinge and hands be with the longer clubs like the driver- 3 wood and longer irons! Thank you! Nick from St Louis
Excellent video as always! Question, when I open my hips to start my downswing and get into the squat power position, should I rely on my shoulders to rotate into the ball or utilize my right hand for speed on my release?
Yes, 8:10 in, that is me, I cast, early release, hit it fat, hit it thin! How do you hold the wrist angle until further in the downswing for a better release at impact? Push down with the left hand, pull back the right hand? Confused!
I disagree with most of your opinions expressed in this video. I think that you would benefit by learning more about using an intact LAFW swing technique - as described in this part 1 video starting at the 22:20 minute time point. th-cam.com/video/rNHIFy4dzIg/w-d-xo.html Jeff.
Of all the golf bloggers on this channel you are head and shoulders above the rest.All of your presentations are first class,keep it up.👍

Another Eureka moment for me ~ ex flipper 2018~ Great video Russell.

Russell, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is a very important lesson. Thanks for the detailed information and common sense delivery.

This is huge one! Great Russ!
Great Video! This is something I would like to know more! Thanks!!

No not at the moment, will discuss soon
Brill video, some great tips
Don't know who you are, but I like the few videos I've seen here on YT.
Thanks. Very helpful for my chicken wing swing problem
Russel you might want to talk about role of wrist angles ~ for short game maybe ..
Ok
Thx Russell will have to work this one out see witch release is me..

@@russellheritagegolf what is a good email for me to send you my google drive link of swing? thanks again..

Shoulders
Great video Russell a bit confusing, would like to see each one of the options broken down into individual videos
Light bulb moment. Thank you!
Great vid Russ this needs more than one watch top man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I would ensure your lower body is creating the correct rotation to make space first, then I would work in the right wrist to hold extension.
This bloke doesn't post a bad lesson...
Awesome
brilllant
