This is exactly what I've been focusing on in the last few weeks, making sure my face is square to closed on takeaway, which sets those wrist angles up so much more naturally. Its been working so well i'm having to readjust my grip cause all the sudden the face is much easier to close apposed to leaving it open which I tend to do. Amazing new setup dude !!
Larry thank you very much. I’ve looked at tons of videos that talk about how the club face should look without going through the basics of the takeaway. I’m a golfer that struggles with flipping the club. I’m generally a pretty consistent ball striker but tend to be hitting an 8 when others with the same swing speed are hitting a pitching wedge. I will try to take this to the range tomorrow; feeling optimistic!
O man that helps a lot..."up" " behind" "in front"...i have struggled with a closed face, and i couldnt figure out what was wrong...i had the club head way behind me and couldnt...going more "up" helps a lot
Totally. Back in the days it was all about hinging and unhinging the wrist at impact. 30 years later and I'm still trying to work that out of my system
It's like they did it on purpose so we'd suck and have to use them for lessons or something because yeah today it's nuts to even think about that being taught. I tried so much to make that work and it just doesn't.
Thanks Larry as usual very good video. Would starting with a very closed club face in the takeaway help to train my brain to get used to a more inside swing as currently suffer from over the top?
Excellent checkpoint for Prescott routine. On another note, during your downswing do you try to keep the lead upper arm pressed against your chest? Does it feel like you are turning your chest into your upper lead arm ? Thanks
Larry - I have a setup in the backswing that looks just like this (with the driver) problem is I have the tendency to swing 1-3deg in to out but my club face is opening at impact sometimes as much as 8deg. Any ideas how I'm managing that if I'm pretty square at the top of the backswing?
So basically have the clubhead match the angle of your spine at takeaway and match the angle all the way to the top of the backswing and through the downswing until impact?
This is a very underrated channel
tell your friends!!! =)
Very helpful video. Did not realize how much my natural motion is to open up the club in the backswing.
l just recently accidently did this and now it makes sense with your explanation. Thank you.
Bless you for keeping your vids short and sweet.
Thanks for clarifying I’ve come to the square take back and downswing myself, and didn’t know if I’m missing out by not trying something else.
Great video. Just did a lesson and the teacher told me this exact thing.
I was always hitting weak fades. Hopefully this will fix it. Thanks.

Thanks Larry! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Can't wait to take it out to the range/course.

This was very helpful understanding cause and effect

Another great one! Keep them coming. Learning a lot about where my swing needs to be.
How is the grip neutral? Dp you find you throw your right hip into the ball or just turn?
Excellent video helped me tremendously
Having learned golf in the early 90s the toe to the sky drill was taught in every magazine or club pro in the land. It’s crazy to do this now.

Along with high hands at the top of your backswing, and shoulders closed to the target at impact. This is all blowing my mind.

It could be used as a drill =)
As always...Very well explained
Hi just wondering why in the backswing top most pros have the clubface pointing more downward than upward
Excellent checkpoint for Prescott routine. On another note, during your downswing do you try to keep the lead upper arm pressed against your chest? Does it feel like you are turning your chest into your upper lead arm ? Thanks
I like lead arm pressed against chest yes =)

You are probably holding on to your wrist angles, just try to close the face earlier =)

great tips larry!
the best part is he says "ball" and "swing" instead of "golf ball" and "golf swing" every time, unlike every other instructor on youtube
soo true! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you that helps.
what about the wrists in all this?
Is this the same for a driver ??
yes
yes
My biggest struggle on my swing is this
Why did players used to open then try to close with the wrist roll?
no sure, will have to ask them haha =P
