You are the best!!! The "Turning the Screw" swing tip is absolutely the best single golf tip I have ever heard of and I have been playing golf for over 50 years. No more cupping my left-hand in the backswing ever again. I have always wondered how great ball strikers did it, know I know. After watching your great golf swing tips, I feel almost like I have been wasting my time. Now I know what it really feels like to smash the golf ball with little effort. #1 Golf Move that I have ever seen!!!
Discoverd this a few months ago while playing around with wedges, and when I did it, blew my mind. To me it's harder to get that feeling in the mid to long iron's though. Just means more practice, thanks for the tips, spot on!!!
Matt, loved the tip, makes a forward shaft lean easier. Also, you need to check to see if Tarzan is ok, 6:02 he fell from his vine. 😂 he started a 4:42 over your fence , left of your hitting are. Where is Jane? Keep making the vids. I love your new studio...SWEET!
Thanks Matt for this tip and the disclaimer... i tried this and definitely went left . Im going to work on my swing path now , looking forward on your next videos appreciate it.
Thank you Mr.SG for this validation. I recently experimented with this move but do it at the start of my backswing and tried your move. It gives the same result but I think it made it feel more natural. Now I have a swing that I know will work well. Thanks again Matt! More power to you!
I tried this move last week during chip/pitch practice and it fixed everything for me !, Im going to play tomorrow and see how it's under pressure. Haven't try the "screw" trick on full swing but will do. Thanks again!
This move has worked really well with my 6*7*8* and maybe 9 but W*G* and LW, not so much for distance but, and with all of them, it helped my direction. I am stunned at how little effort was needed. If you look at your club on the backswing, the head is shut and in perfect position. Thanks, amigo!
I see this in Dustin Johnson's swing. On the top of his backswing, you can see he has extremely twisted his left wrist showing a strong bowed hand. (That's on driver, too). This has helped me to eliminate my pushes and hit solid. I definitely can tell the difference when I don't supinate. Great tip! 👍🏌⛳
This makes so much difference! strike becomes purer, ball flight is much more penetrating, distance goes up, ball stops quicker! It's a game changer! however, I can only get it right by doing it at the start of the takeaway, at least that's how it feels to me, a bit like the forward press that many people do.
Took me a few hundred swings to get this feeling. but man.... at least a full club more distance on my irons and at least 20 more yards on my driver (between this and your driver swing speed video) Can't wait to get out and play more
valid tip and thanks for sharing. The bowing of the left wrist assists with better compression of the golf ball at impact, if other parts of the golf swing are done correctly. I don't believe that the distance gains were due to this though. Your increase in distance correlated exactly with an increase in swing speed. Your 170+ yd shots happened when you swung the club at 85mph and you got 160+ yds at 80mph swing speed. All things being equal i would doubt there was much distance gained. That's not to say its not good advice, but not one for those expecting to hit the ball farther.
Crazy, I was working on this yesterday and had shots going left. Thanks for the heads up on what to fix now! ....I like what the guys before said about a SC300 review and give away too lol
Watch Collin Morikawa in slo-mo down the line. This is exactly what he does to trigger his down swing with both driver and irons 👍 and he has won more majors than I have 🤣
This move helps promote bowed left wrist condition at impact. This is game changer for me. Impact snap training aid is very good for practicing this. The face will be delofted and the launch angle is lower. More ball compression. That's why Ben Hogan's book shows picture of bowed left wrist at impact with supination of the left forearm.
Set you trail hand in the Fibonacci hurricane shape spiral and you will never need to even think of doing the action of turning the screw with your lead hand at the top of the swing ever again. I tried this 11 months back back and it seemed to work; but in the long run it did not help me consistently at all at the top of my swing. Are you honestly doing this swing thought at the top of your swing today??? I swear you will love setting your trail hand in the Fibonacci hurricane shape spiral even though you are already good teacher and great personality in golf. You will be amazed as well. I am currently bugging you about placing your trail hand in a fixed Fibonacci spiral shape because I would love to see your face when you see the amazing consistent results for yourself and you have a video to show for it.
I like the thought of the holding a tray with your right hand at the top of your backswing and maintaining that feeling with the right wrist coming down to where the club is parallel with the ground what are your thoughts on that
Turning the screw was like a dream come true for me with my 7 iron at home, once i got on the course things went down hill a bit. Do i or can i "turn the screw" with every club that im taking a full swing with? Thanks!
I have been experimenting with this . If I do it right at the top of the swing it makes me pause before transitioning and makes me think about a good full follow through . That pause gives me a trigger , hence if you do this at the take away you still rush the swing and do gawd awful stuff
Is it possible to "turn the screw" at address, setting the hands and holding through the swing (instead of rotating at the top). Or does the act of turning within the swing create momentum as well?
What about “turning the screw” allowed or promoted swinging the club faster? It looks as though that move allows or promotes a faster club head speed for you. Can you show this move with driver? Makes sense with irons and forward shaft lean, the turn closes the club while the shaft lean tends to open the club, but don’t know how this works with driver. Thanks for the content!
MATT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS...…#1.....DO YOU USE THE 'ROPE' DRILL....IF SO REPS,SERS AND DAYS PERWEEK.....#2 CAN YOU TURN THE SCREW AT ADDRESS OR TAKEAWAY ?
Don't know about turning a screw around. To me it is the feeling of turning my trail wrist around with my lead hand . Wonderful tip when I think of it more precisely as turning my trail wrist as opposes to an imaginary screw. Cheers.
Bro, whats going on in the background ?? Looks like there is a guy swinging on a trapeze behind the trees to the left at 4:22. Do you live near a circus ?? LMOA
Thanks for the video. I have had good results with this move - but bowing the left wrist closes the clubface - and without now adjusting for this - I get shots going left. Your thoughts?
This is called suppinating your left wrist. It's taught in Ben Hogan's 5 lessons : the modern fundamentals of golf published in 1957. The part about suppinating your wrist starts on page 100. This is the move that Ben Hogan attributed to him being called the greatest ball striker who ever lived. There are literally people teaching the exact opposite on TH-cam. They teach you to whip your wrists through like a catapult. THEY ARE WRONG. BEN HOGAN IS RIGHT. Well done. Another caveat. If you're a typical slicer you've probably developed a strong grip to compensate. Make sure you use a neutral grip or you'll hook everything. Excellent video trying to explain something that is counter intuitive and most people don't believe.
Do you increase the wrist rotation on the way down, or do it at the top and retain it through the swing? I try to do both and like this feel because I *think* it promotes body rotation, no?
I have been coached to use a strong grip. Would that grip make the “move” unnecessary? I already have too many swing thoughts and wonder if trying to time the bowing move on the downswing will add another variable to the process. Thanks
He was I not show this 40 years ago? It’s like a secret that should be talked about as much as swing from in to out. Now that I’ve tried it I added 15 yards to my irons and about 20-30 yards to my driver and I’m hitting it more consistently.
I have been doing this for a while and have been hitting the ball longer and more solid. Yesterday I struggled with pull hooks all day and couldn't figure out what I was doing. I was hitting the ball solidly but it was starting left and doing my usual draw. Guess I need to get out there and fix my path! Thanks for the tip!
Or you don't have a neutral grip. Most golfers use a strong grip to compensate for the fact that they use their wrists to lift the ball which opens the clubface. For this move a neutral grip is a must.
I have the 1st generation Swing Caddie and I only trust it with the long clubs. Not at all with 9 and above. I think a real measurement review is needed on these caddies.
I tried this but it feels weird and awkward. And turning the screw causes a little bit discomfort in my wrist. I'm sure it works but for me it would cause too much of a different feeling. Good video though....
You are the best!!! The "Turning the Screw" swing tip is absolutely the best single golf tip I have ever heard of and I have been playing golf for over 50 years. No more cupping my left-hand in the backswing ever again.

I saw this tip elsewhere last year. It helped me a lot. A little distance, and squared clubface at impact
Love the use of graphics and data - great tip.
i have definitely felt this difference before, thanks for explaining it so hopefully i can recreate it in the future.
I see this in Dustin Johnson's swing. On the top of his backswing, you can see he has extremely twisted his left wrist showing a strong bowed hand. (That's on driver, too). This has helped me to eliminate my pushes and hit solid. I definitely can tell the difference when I don't supinate. Great tip! 👍🏌⛳
great video. i do this in the initial take away trying to shorten the backswing and limit the flying right elbow. just remember to swing out.
This makes so much difference! strike becomes purer, ball flight is much more penetrating, distance goes up, ball stops quicker! It's a game changer! however, I can only get it right by doing it at the start of the takeaway, at least that's how it feels to me, a bit like the forward press that many people do.
Compress the ball. Wind no longer a factor. Ball peaks then comes straight down. Just pure magic.
Took me a few hundred swings to get this feeling. but man.... at least a full club more distance on my irons and at least 20 more yards on my driver (between this and your driver swing speed video) Can't wait to get out and play more
Love all your videos man you have made my friends wonder how I’m improving my game and getting lower scores thank you so much!!!
Great advice, can't wait till it quits raining so I can try this out!
Excellent video! I have learned so much from you. You've managed to fill in a lot of gaps in my swing, thank you so much!
Worked well for me yesterday.
New sub here from Raleigh NC!! Let's GOOO!

SwingEzzZZ
EXACTLY!
Great videos. Thank you for posting. My lady is making me ask what's going on the with trapeze? I never noticed, now it's all I see!
I saw that too. Not every day you see a trapeze in someone's back yard.
Set you trail hand in the Fibonacci hurricane shape spiral and you will never need to even think of doing the action of turning the screw with your lead hand at the top of the swing ever again. I tried this 11 months back back and it seemed to work; but in the long run it did not help me consistently at all at the top of my swing.

This is absolutely correct. Ball explodes off the club face when done correctly
I gotta try this. Thanks!
Can you do your next video on how to avoid a hook that i get when trying this. Thanks for the content!
Thank you! Going to TopGolf tomorrow to try this!
I like the thought of the holding a tray with your right hand at the top of your backswing and maintaining that feeling with the right wrist coming down to where the club is parallel with the ground what are your thoughts on that

Matt, do you hold that “turn the screw position” through the shot?
I have been experimenting with this . If I do it right at the top of the swing it makes me pause before transitioning and makes me think about a good full follow through . That pause gives me a trigger , hence if you do this at the take away you still rush the swing and do gawd awful stuff

Started doing this with my mavrik driver and began drawing the golf ball where I was hitting a terrible fade , hitting it about 260
Ahh the old "Hogan roll." Like this move
Same as Brian Manzella’s “twist away’ or concept of turn the accelerator of motorcycle
I will try it at the Bull in shebogan, Wi tomorrow
what would you gain using the driver?
MATT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS...…#1.....DO YOU USE THE 'ROPE' DRILL....IF SO REPS,SERS AND DAYS PERWEEK.....#2 CAN YOU TURN THE SCREW AT ADDRESS OR TAKEAWAY ?
Should I fell that loosening the screw is connected to my body move or something that I do separately with my hands?
I like to feel it in my hands as my body turns.
Do you use the twist with the driver???
Don't know about turning a screw around. To me it is the feeling of turning my trail wrist around with my lead hand . Wonderful tip when I think of it more precisely as turning my trail wrist as opposes to an imaginary screw. Cheers.
At what time do you turn the screw, on the top or the coming down...?
Personally I set my wrist like that at the end of the backswing.
Ever use this swing thought with driver?
Your a game changer!
Bro, whats going on in the background ?? Looks like there is a guy swinging on a trapeze behind the trees to the left at 4:22. Do you live near a circus ?? LMOA
How weird. I’ll be going to the range today to work on this! And the impact drill you posted yesterday as well!
No info on the bag or glove .?
Volvik are looking after you mate good tip also
Thanks for the video. I have had good results with this move - but bowing the left wrist closes the clubface - and without now adjusting for this - I get shots going left. Your thoughts?
You have to swing left of target.
Hello Matt ,what aps do you use for knowing the ball speed ????
This is called suppinating your left wrist. It's taught in Ben Hogan's 5 lessons : the modern fundamentals of golf published in 1957. The part about suppinating your wrist starts on page 100.

Do you increase the wrist rotation on the way down, or do it at the top and retain it through the swing? I try to do both and like this feel because I *think* it promotes body rotation, no?
I do it at the top but it’s personal preference
So do you make that turn at the top of backswing or just before impact. Either way it's a very difficult move
6:03 No, your swing speed was actually quicker than the previous.
Good tip! Do wish you’d tell us if Tarzan lives behind you and is swinging on his vine!
??? do you do this on wedges too? short shots? like 9 iron?
Yeah he has a video on doing this with wedges
I have been coached to use a strong grip. Would that grip make the “move” unnecessary? I already have too many swing thoughts and wonder if trying to time the bowing move on the downswing will add another variable to the process. Thanks
You can still do it.
What is the science why turn the screw works?
So yay so good
Was wondering if you have a drill that can help with this?
This one video makes you want to go to the range and practice.
What is going on just over the left side of you net set up, back in the trees.
Yup. Yup yup yup. I turned the screw today. Added 15 yards to my shot. Now i have to re-gap my clubs. Thanks man. 😔. LOL. Turn the screw works people!
He was I not show this 40 years ago? It’s like a secret that should be talked about as much as swing from in to out. Now that I’ve tried it I added 15 yards to my irons and about 20-30 yards to my driver and I’m hitting it more consistently.
Does this move matter if you are a high handicap?
Turn the screw 👍
Does this work the same with a driver or any club
Yes
I have been doing this for a while and have been hitting the ball longer and more solid. Yesterday I struggled with pull hooks all day and couldn't figure out what I was doing. I was hitting the ball solidly but it was starting left and doing my usual draw. Guess I need to get out there and fix my path! Thanks for the tip!
When i turn wrist this way my clubhead is shut and then i hook the ball tremendously.
That typically means you are coming over the top a bit. Really focus on letting the club fall and rotating your body.
Or you don't have a neutral grip. Most golfers use a strong grip to compensate for the fact that they use their wrists to lift the ball which opens the clubface. For this move a neutral grip is a must.
Please do a review on the Swing Caddie SC300. There's none yet at the moment.
I have the 1st generation Swing Caddie and I only trust it with the long clubs. Not at all with 9 and above. I think a real measurement review is needed on these caddies.
4:50 what's swinging up in the trees🤔😂
It looks like someone on a trapeze swing.
You could do that at the start of the takeaway. Joe Dante.
I tried this but it feels weird and awkward. And turning the screw causes a little bit discomfort in my wrist. I'm sure it works but for me it would cause too much of a different feeling. Good video though....
Great vid, have you hit any chickens yet ?
start left, then swing in to out and fix your over the top!!! he is right !
Micky Wright used this with her swing
Do u use the spin rate on the swing caddie?
Thanks love this tip
I can never do this wrist move.. I don’t know if it’s a mind thing or not.
Turning screw means Im drinking lots of free beer. Thx Matt.
You locked your smash Factor I would like to see those numbers change
Got to love the chickens
Is there literally no difference in your setup or where you are aiming?
None
I think Tarzan is swinging beyond your net...Or am I seeing things?
Yes he runs an acrobatic school. Many famous people have trained there.
Why wouldn't your smash factor increase if you are getting more distance and squaring up the club with turning the screw?
That smash factor isnt a true reading. More like a guess based on an algorithm. It isnt exact like GCQuad.
Anyone else notice the trapeze artist behind MSG’s trees???
FAK!!! was going for 2 days in a row #1. GG
I tried it and I discovered I was left handed. Righty tighty, lefty losey
Cough cough "swing caddie give away" cough. ;)
👍❤️⛳️💰🔥👊
your swing speed is 5-6 MPH slower without turning the screw. You say you don't have to swing faster, but obviously you do lol
Great Content! You hear about Rick Shiels TH-cam Tournament. You should enter.
I did
Where can we learn more about the tournament mate? Thanks.
shit that's my driver ball speed
lol
Your swinging harder that’s why your getting more distance. 5 mph difference.
1st 😃
