This was incredibly helpful. I’ve been struggling mightily with my backswing lately (too many swing thoughts and too many moving parts). With this I just make the initial movement away then push down on the handle and turn. Filmed my swing today and was surprised these simple moves put the club in a textbook position with event club from SW to driver. Thanks so much!
Excellent video Ali on establishing a proper wrist hinge! I've been working on this for awhile. Your explanation today has given me additional insight on the importance of pushing down the butt end of the club when the swing reaches the trail leg. I will definitely be incorporating this into my swing. Good Job!
Noticed some players really initiate the hinge early, as soon as arms begin the upswing, while others keep arms straight for longer, focusing on shoulder rotation and only really breaking the wrist almost at the top of the swing. Thoughts? Thanks!
Hello from Canada ... been watching your videos and they have helped alot. Is this wrist hinge after passing the leg on the backswing just on irons and do differently with my driver ? Or is it the same for all clubs. Thank you for your videos, I quite enjoy them.
My problem is that I can generate about 75 to 80 mph club speed, but I struggle to get any ball speed. Usually less than 100 mph with a 7 iron. I feel like I'm hinging my wrists in the back swing but then nothing happens to get any ball speed. So I'm definitely missing something. Any thoughts?
@AliTaylorGolf my strike tends to be a little on the heel side and my launch is around 28⁰. If I try to get the shaft lean, I tend to shank it. I sweep the ball and rarely take a divot. My angle of attack is usually -1 or -2⁰. My peak height is only about 70 feet on a center strike and about 5500 rpm. If I do get a decent amount of shaft lean and don't shank it, then it's a dead pull. I have a good smooth tempo, so maybe I'm not getting to my left side enough. I'm a subscriber and watch all your videos, but I just haven't found the one ingredient that will unlock everything. I'm 73 with an 8.5 index. Thanks for your help and imput.

Great tip Ali,easy to remember and helps to release the club,can now spank that ball 🎾
Its the wrists on the downswing i seem to struggle with. Tend to leave the club face pointing way open so either shank or push out to the right.
Nice lesson as usual Ali 👍👍👍 quality
Great session . Would you apply this to the driver ?.
I'll give this a try when next at the range. Meanwhile, can this technique be use with the driver? Thanks

You can use with every club
Are you pushing down with left hand or pulling up with right hand?
Is it the same wrist action with the driver? I think I do it with my irons but not certain with the driver!
Would you apply this method using the driver
Do you think it’s easy to get this wrong and cup at the top leaving the face open? Any tips on hinging whilst keeping clubface in a good place?
I think it depends more on how you grip the club.

Either poor strike or too much loft at impact.

Do you use arms and hands to start your swing ? Seems like you more a hands and let the body follow.
THIS IS HUGE!! Has been missing piece in my swing and lack of power.
Great video but please iron your pants.
very good video
