Where the heck has this guy been my entire golfing career. He understands the game not only for himself but, more importantly, for the typical golfer. His instruction is spot on. Can't wait to sign up for lessons. I have never posted a comment on youtube before and I have no association with or benefit from this review. I am truly impressed with his teaching and explanation of fundamental skills.
I'm a scratch player and have recently been feeling like I get "lag stuck", where my arms are pretty well in sync but I have so much lag near impact that I'm still forced to flip the club hard or try to almost come over the top and pull fade it with the driver to have any chance at hitting my target. This video gave me some great insight as to what I may be doing in transition to cause this. I don't necessarily feel like my wrist is cupped, but now I know there's no way for me to get that angle without cupping it. Great video and thanks for the tips!!
I don't usually interact with TH-cam instruction but you are my favorite instructor on the channel. if you weren't in a different country I would definately book a lesson with you. All of your content is fantastic and I hope you keep up the great informational content!
Excellent !!! Jonathan is really good at isolating "nuances", that is key components of the swing, and 1) giving you awareness of what is going on, and 2) giving you explicit drills for working on these "components". In golf, there are thousands of "components" and coordinating them is a whole additional story to that. Like grammar, there are a thousand pieces you have to put together. Well, you have to start somewhere, and eventually you'll get there. Jonathan's explanations and videos are EXCELLENT for helping along the way. They are helping me in any case. Thanks Jonathan! You're wise beyond your years!
Even though it is kind of nitty gritty, I really like the way you explain the anatomical break down of the swing. As you say, many instructors very casually talks about the necessity of lag without bothering to understand the consequenses. Or they perhaps have extremely quick wrists so that they can square the club face in time. However, I don't have that so this vid was really good in that sense. Thanks and keep on Jonathan.
Thank you. I have been struggling with my golf swing in my late 70's and chicken winging over the past two years. I have now corrected my swing thanks to you. I am most grateful. Bless you
I am in the process of taking the game back up after 15 yr. hiatus due to sports injuries, arthritis, joint replacements, back issues, etc. I am healthy and mobile enough (though weight loss, stretching, core strength, bicycling) to get out and try to swing my clubs. Could not swing correctly or consistantly - was a mess. I have been watching Jonathan's video's and practicing the drills and it has been - "wa-la!" there's that old crushing it feeling again! I am 65 and can't hit it as far, but am much more consistant and more apt to flush my irons. Loving that I can play again. Jonathan is great - extremely clear, concise, technical & helpful!!
FInally the right explanation for wrists! For months of practice I have always slice to the right because open club, cant wait to try it tomorrow. Thank you !
That was a a very simple and lucid explanation of a very subtle move in the back swing, which a lot of us do without realising. For those of us who learned to play golf before the joys of you tube and the likes of good coaches like you, it unfortunately became ingrained into our swings and now has to be unlearned! Thanks for a great video!
"which a lot of us do without realising" which you imagine that a lot of people do, which they may actually do, but I doubt that many people call that "lag"
Great tip....JK is actually trying to keep it simple, but lag is a fairly complicated concept. I think he did well to make it clear about how to not over do the wrist flex at the top of the swing.
I've watched a crap ton of online golf content back when I was learning the game for the first couple years and your explanations and content are absolutely on another level.
incredible how this simple explanation has corrected almost 90% of my problems with the Swing. Awesome, I can´t understand why his is not being said by all golf instructors,
I wholly concur with the previous comments- your explanation of how to manage wrist position is far and away the best I’ve seen. I love the drill as well. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
JK. Many thanks for this. This has been a big issue for me personally and your excellent explanation has opened my eyes. I have always made this lead hand cupping move and you have helped me a lot here.
This is an almost impossible to find explanation. Usually, you are never told this. A honest Pro showed me exactly that subject and it worked kind of a wonder. I shall go deeper into this channel. Thank you. Jonathan!
At this moment I have taken 3 golf lessons with some degree of success, but watching your videos has put it all into perspective. You have a unique way of explaining the golf swings errors and corrections that has really helped me. I have subscribed and I am now pouring through your videos and working on your exercises with the recommended tools when it applies. Looking forward to your videos, keep up the excellent work.
Been golfing for 16 years, I've never been a "short" player but felt I could be getting a little more. After first try with this small adjustment I added 10 mph club head speed to my 7 iron! Thanks for the quick easy to understand tip!
Wow, was working on the exact same thing at the range today, but was not sure if I was going in the right direction. The shots were much better today. I got the idea from watching some tour players on the back swing (Dustin Johnson and others). It has really helped and now this video explains and confirms perfectly. Thank you Jonathan. Best video I have seen yet, on wrist hinge. Cheers.
Thanks for the very clear explanation. I couldn’t work out why I had started hitting to my right and then occasionally snap-hooking. Will try bowing the wrist when practicing.
I have been researching golf lessons for a long time, but I recognize that Jonhatan Moss is undoubtedly one of the best, because he explains all the movements and consequences in detail. It would be great if you lived in Portugal to be able to take some classes.
Great video, it also agrees with other teachers on what to do, just described in a different way. So when I see something being taught by several different instructors it's going to be something to pay attention to. I'll be watching more of your lessons, thanks.
Great explanation and the best drill to feel that, that I have seen out of all the teachers on here that I've been watching. And you get right to the point without making a 15 minute video full of fluff. Thank you for your time.
Dude absolutely brilliant video,,,,,,I’m most of the time hitting the with an open club face and now cannot wait to try that way out thanks a lot Kim 👍👍
Your are one of the best trainers on u tube my score went from average 85 to 90 to 85 to 80 in a couple of weeks with your tips hitting ball much crisper now just got to work on that putting lol
I have watched thousands of TH-cam videos and something about Jonathon's teaching just clicks with my brain. So happy I found JCM. Hopefully these lessons will improve my inconstant game. About to check out his website for swing analysis. Thanks JCM
I’ve struggled to improve down further from a 6/7 handicap as I frankly do not understand the physics of the game despite playing for a long time (sad but true); your simple and clear explanations are greatly helping. I hit some very solid irons on the range yesterday >> right to target and >> not moving in the wind. I was only thinking of the elbow position and bottoming out with left hand and club both being in a straight line after impact. Working on a in to out path as mine is the reverse of that. I like your honest no nonsense approach. 🙌👍👏
First video I've watched - subscribed. Not only is this my issue (almost corrected the outside in, but as a result of my wrists, I have to make corrections, stand up, and continually drive the ball left), you've explained it with anatomical terms, which is helpful. I'm gonna try this drill at the range today (if it stops raining anytime soon!)
Another outstanding tutorial, I've been cupping my wrist lately in backswing and actually what you said could happen was happening, definitely going to practice bowing wrist slightly more, it feels really weak when I try to much , like the club is going to come out of my hand ! Thanks again really great video!
A good explanation…but it is one of those things where absent “feeling” the correct wrist motion it is tough to simulate. And I think this is a problem area for me in some ways…so thanks for the advice and let’s see if I can get the hang of it!
Jonathan! Great content as always. My stuggle has been the cupped left wrist and to your point, the best aolution for me was to increase the ulnar deviation which also provided me with a wider arc. I find it more simple as well to keep the club as far away from my chest without turning too far back-no distance loss and no more weak contact. Keep up the great work and thank you for the great content!
I am new to your TH-cam. I hv found your videos very useful. They help in my analysis n that it helps to confirm things I am doing with my swings while trying to improve my game. Thank you, keep up the good effort 👍
How did this show up in my feed today? I went three holes yesterday where I kept hitting the ball to the right and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Although I was able to fix the problem with with a different thought process, this video explains it better than the method I came up with!
It's crazy - I've seen so many videos where instructors say to bow the wrist in transition and the downswing. For me this was always useless because of how much other stuff was happening in the transition. The clear advice about increasing ulnar deviation in the takeaway to promote more lead wrist flexion = gold.
Hi Jonathan, I just discovered your channel after recently starting to practice golf. This is such a carefully broken down video executed with excellent verbal clarity that it really helped me have a better holistic understanding of a proper swing. I'd like to also ask your opinion about this: I've been told on multiple occasions that the only, if not the primary movement of the wrist during a swing should only involve up and down hinging (radial or ulnar deviation) with the lead arm flexed + stretched and never bent. I feel like with your explanation here I finally understood how it is possible to go from takeaway to performing the swing with what feels to be only up and down hinging of the wrist being employed, but at the same time I wonder if that is a correct direction and interpretation at all. If you may please share your thoughts on this, it'd be greatly appreciated!
Thank you explaining this mistaken assumption about lag. People need to realize that the angle of lag is created from an optical illusion of the camera viewing the swing head-on and shallowing the club with ulnar deviation , NOT more radial deviation.

Yes, JK is one of the best youtube instructors I have seen so far.

Yes, I really love the way JK makes things clear.
You just nailed the problem I have with my driver. Off to the range I go!
best golf lesson ever on youtube, it really changed my swing completely.

Haven't tried it out yet, but I'm so excited. The misconception explained at the beginning was mind opening. Thanks.
Even though it is kind of nitty gritty, I really like the way you explain the anatomical break down of the swing.

Or they perhaps have extremely quick wrists so that they can square the club face in time. However, I don't have that so this vid was really good in that sense. Thanks and keep on Jonathan.
Your instructional videos are exceptionally good! I've never really understood what the wrists should be doing until now. Great stuff!

Thanks again for a great video. Explains why I shank when I try to create more lag all the time
No one on the whole inet has explained this - this well. So simple but also so so important. Brilliant. 👌👌👌👌👌

"which a lot of us do without realising"
which you imagine that a lot of people do, which they may actually do, but I doubt that many people call that "lag"
being playing 20 yrs of golf...why i didn't realize till now!!!, ty Jonathan
Great tip....JK is actually trying to keep it simple, but lag is a fairly complicated concept. I think he did well to make it clear about how to not over do the wrist flex at the top of the swing.
I wish I would have understood the wrist flex and wrist extension years ago. Excellent explanation of the incorrect way to create lag.
Perfect!!!!!
Ive been wondering about that So Much. You have definitely Cleared it up!
Keep it Comin
I've watched a crap ton of online golf content back when I was learning the game for the first couple years and your explanations and content are absolutely on another level.
incredible how this simple explanation has corrected almost 90% of my problems with the Swing. Awesome, I can´t understand why his is not being said by all golf instructors,
Great instruction, I like how you just get straight into it, I don't need to skip the first 10mins like other vids.
Clear and short instructions. Thank you for not too rambling as many other youtube swing coaches.
The clearest explanation of this I have ever heard! A lightbulb moment. Thank you!
Easily best coach on TH-cam. Incredible break down for your average golfer.
Fix my lag problem immediately. Outstanding insight into fixing my 3 years problem.
I’ve been watching your videos, they are simple and easy to follow. You have a great thing going on, keep it up
I wholly concur with the previous comments- your explanation of how to manage wrist position is far and away the best I’ve seen. I love the drill as well. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
JK. Many thanks for this. This has been a big issue for me personally and your excellent explanation has opened my eyes. I have always made this lead hand cupping move and you have helped me a lot here.
You're a beast at teaching golf, your channel is going to blow up soon
Talk too much. Too basic. 3/4 on the mistake. The cure should be more explore novice
The light has just clicked on! Brilliant. Thank you!
Great explanation to the details. Thank you very much, Jonathan!
👍
I had no idea that I was cupping so badly in order to "increase" my backswing until watching this video. Absolutely brilliant as always!
Clear and concise instructions, and extremely helpful for me. You are a very clear communicator... Thank you!!!
Great lesson. I can't wait until I get to the range tomorrow. Thank you.
Exceptionally good instructions based on perfect analysis of anatomical movements.
This is an almost impossible to find explanation. Usually, you are never told this. A honest Pro showed me exactly that subject and it worked kind of a wonder. I shall go deeper into this channel. Thank you. Jonathan!
This is pure gold. Thanks Johnathan!
Really worked I'm so surprised with your lesson.I would have get your videos before. Thank J.K....Your video is my best lesson ever.

cut your clubshaft and head weight in half, see what that does to your swingspeed
I do it correctly already but didn't know it. Thanks for the explanation, nice to know that at least I am doing something right!
These are excellent lessons. Thank you.
Great information. For those that already understand the concept skip to 5:06. The prior discussion is also interesting though.
Wow, was working on the exact same thing at the range today, but was not sure if I was going in the right direction. The shots were much better today. I got the idea from watching some tour players on the back swing (Dustin Johnson and others). It has really helped and now this video explains and confirms perfectly. Thank you Jonathan. Best video I have seen yet, on wrist hinge. Cheers.
Wow Jonathan, great video! This is what I need. My blade is way to open in the backswing. Keep up your great work🙏
Very fluent and skilled in describing a powerful and accurate increase in club head speed. Well done.
Thanks for the very clear explanation. I couldn’t work out why I had started hitting to my right and then occasionally snap-hooking. Will try bowing the wrist when practicing.
I have been researching golf lessons for a long time, but I recognize that Jonhatan Moss is undoubtedly one of the best, because he explains all the movements and consequences in detail. It would be great if you lived in Portugal to be able to take some classes.
This was incredibly helpful. I didn’t realize how much I was cupping my lead wrist. Thank you!!!
Thanks Jonathon. This is like the twist away. Great reinforcement. 👍
Always to the point...
No unnecessary bs...
Well done...keep it up.
Extremely convincing and useful explanation with sound anatomical underlying theory!
Great stuff Jonathan - I think this might just be one of the best explanations of wrist angle I've come across. I'm subscribing.
Great video, it also agrees with other teachers on what to do, just described in a different way. So when I see something being taught by several different instructors it's going to be something to pay attention to. I'll be watching more of your lessons, thanks.

What a great point on with the wrist angle , that's help me greatly . Great presentation
Thanks for the video. I think this is exactly what I do which results in either the going right or flipping of the hands.
Will give it a go tomorrow.
Your are one of the best trainers on u tube my score went from average 85 to 90 to 85 to 80 in a couple of weeks with your tips hitting ball much crisper now just got to work on that putting lol

Fantastic explanation of the wrist position. I have been using a cup wrist for years. Problem solved. Thanks
Such a helpful visual way for me to understand what's happening it what to avoid

God, I’ve been waiting for this topic for so long. Great job ! Thank you!
Thank you for that very good explanation it’s actually the first time it ever gives meaning thank you for the good contents

That’s a GREAT drill! I love it. I started doing it in my warm up and it sets me on a great path for the day. THANK YOU!
By far you are best I’ve seen on TH-cam. Keep it up.
So accurate in everething I watched from you and so helpful.
Thank you.
And keep your excellent job.
Fantastic tip. What a difference this made. I can finally have some confidence hits my irons.

Best teacher on the web!!!!
good clean description of this, you keep talking and explain well, subscribed

Very interesting. I will give this a try on the range tomorrow.
great tips! Changing this into reality is not easy but doable. Needs lots of practice.
Very good explanation and drill; you have been my TH-cam golf instructor this past year
Jonathon… another great vlog. I am resident in the UK and trying to set up a group of lessons but the process is very confusing

This is a great insight. I tried it and it works. Thank you for making it so clear.
You have explained scientific approach.
I had trouble cupping, now I gave a flatter wrist position, thanks.
Outstanding instruction! Well explained. Thank you!
Omg this is what I have been trying and saved me from my previous poor golf swing.
Man you are the truth!!!!!! Keep this videos coming.
This almost made me give it all up.. very imp to undestand. Thx for the videos.. cheers mate

This lesson will shave a few strokes in my game. Awesome.
Another great video!! Thanks a lot for all the videos you share
Best explanation of cupping I’ve seen. Amazing. Wishing this guy another few zeros on his subs.
Great drill ....great teacher ....well done
