Hi Sean - Thanks for posting this and the series of tips for older golfers. Quick question... are you a proponent of setting your lead wrist in flexion at the top of the backswing (like DJ or Rahm or even Trevino, I think), thus making it easier to have the lead hand’s knuckles pointing to the ground through impact, as you mention in your drill? Thanks from Ottawa, Canada!
Pre-setting my wrist works great with my Driver. But, I haven't been successful with it with my fairway woods or irons. I currently hit my Driver better than I can hit my Pitching Wedge. I guess I need more trial and error range sessions 😕😕😕 #goodluck
Hi Sean - I know in this video you purposely close your stance but, in other videos it looks as if you have a slightly closed stance and I wonder if it is so or if it is camera distortion? The reason is I like to slightly close my stance and I'm told to square my stance.
Rotating the wrist down leads to nice strikes but sometimes too inconsistent for me. Some right, some left, some long , some short. hard to keep the ball exactly on line imo. Handsy rotating down, I prefer bow wrist at backswing then straighter thru imo
I wish Coach Foley would have demonstrated the entire drill in slow motion or showed the video in slow motion. The wrist motion he is demonstrating is rarely if ever clearly discussed by other instructors on TH-cam. People say the club face was open at impact when we hit that banana ball. However, they never demonstrate in slow motion exactly how to Square it Up. Things that make me go hhhhmmmmm😕😕😕
Why is creating a draw important for golfers over 50? Maximum compression occurs when the clubface is perpendicular to the path. A draw has the clubface at an angle to the path. This reduces compression. Doesn't a straight line down the fairway extend further than when the line is curved? I don't understand why producing a draw is an "ageless golf" tip? Rolling the hands adds timing to the golf shot and this is a very high maintenance swing to produce with any consistency. ???
totally agree a straight line is always the best, I think his point is draw is better than a slice, given for senior golfers, slice is a common issue caused by lack of body turn;
Because most people don't hit from the inside, or get the club turned over. And at 50yo, you are generally not as fit, strong or mobile as you were, so the draw will give you some extra distance.

What a swing. One of the best I've ever seen.!!

Sean do you keep the club face facing the ball on the take away

Very interesting!
Fold, straighten and roll, very Golfing Machine like.
I'd like a 150 7 iron, I should say.

because draws get more distance off the tee, not to mention that hitting a shot with zero curve is the most difficult thing to do in golf.
Because most people don't hit from the inside, or get the club turned over. And at 50yo, you are generally not as fit, strong or mobile as you were, so the draw will give you some extra distance.
