- How the wrists should move in the golf swing is one of the most asked questions I receive from viewers wanting to know "The Secret".
Truth is, the wrist motion in golf is a very complex subject and one that has many possible variations depending on a player's grip type and shot shape preference.
However, there is ONE HUGE MISTAKE that the vast majority of golfers are making when it comes to the wrists, wrist hinge, and creating LAG in the golf swing and this video will explain HOW you've been getting it wrong your entire golfing life!!!
This video addresses the main wrist motions in the swing and how they have been misrepresented and misunderstood by golfers for decades. This video will help you if you've suffered with SLICING the ball your entire life, but never understood WHY!

Ron, this is at least for me, the best golf lesson I've ever seen on TH-cam. I've watched it twice and of course I subscribed and rang the bell. The amount of detail with explanation was a 10 out 10. Thanks
@@golftecasia well done Ron
I agree, great video. I think my problem is feeling like my arms need to be straight at impact, timed with a snapping of the wrist.
I just can't seem to grasp the concept of maintaining a bent right arm and how much to be conscious of some release of the hands.
I used to be a bogey golfer but now I'm a complete mess on the verge of giving it up
Sorry I meant Rob!
Remember Ron Mexico? 😁
I have to agree. Thank you.
Great! Thanks!
3:52 wrist hinge
5:30 understanding 2-wrist movements
12:20 correcting for the right feel
15:03 summary
This lead wrist flexion tutorial starting at about 12:00 in video is only thing I thought about in round today and my usual blocks and flippy hooks disappeared. My score was SIXTEEN strokes better than my last round! I’ve had traditional pros over 30 years never describe this issue and have been very frustrated about my driver control for 7+ years. Today I was very much in control off the tee. I’m not a teacher, but have to believe that having a student realize your concept and see improvement almost immediately must feel like a purely struck one iron. Thank you Pro!
P
Lesson should have started at 12:00 and explained impact and follow thru
"Wrist hinge" has been my one most productive swing thought for a few years, leading to straighter, longer and more consistent shots throughout my game. But I've always wondered about the degree of wrist extension/flexion at the top of the swing. You explain the dynamics of this perfectly here, showing that the wrists move in two distinct planes with innumerable variations that all affect the club face at impact. Following your coaching, the feeling I'm working on now is a "wrist hinge" with more lateral than vertical motion. Your drill that shows how to create this by holding the club in front of you, flexing the left wrist and bending the right one back beneath, then simply bending over to the ball is brilliant. Totally different way thinking about wrist action. Super helpful, thanks!
This is possibly one of the best explanations of what the wrists should do for an efficient golf swing I have ever heard. Out of the countless golf lessons I have had, many were either a waste of time and money or down right wrong. This guy has an analytical mind that knows how to explain and demonstrate a part of the swing that is critical to good ball striking. Many thanks, Rob
This video is excellent! Never have I ever heard anyone explain this very necessary description of how the hands/wrists make a huge impact on how you hit the ball.
I do agree 100% Brian!
This is invaluable instruction as far as I am concerned and I appreciate Rob's time in the making of these videos.
Hi Rob, thank you so much for this video. I'm nearly 60 and just returned to golf in the last few years after playing in my late teens and early 20s. Since starting again, I've struggled with inconsistent heel strikes and with early extension/flipping and realise from videos that I have a cup in my left wrist at the top and tend to be too steep on the downswing. Whilst my game has improved a lot in the past 9 months (I'm back down to 11 now), I still battle with these problems. This video however explained so much to me - I realise now that whilst I keep my left wrist flat for much of the backswing, it is the last bit of 'hinge' at the top that is creating the cupping. After watching your video and paying special attention not to allow that last bit of hinge, all of a sudden I had a sense of the club coming almost from behind me on the downswing and I was able to rotate in an unimpeded way through the ball. The change to impact was astounding. Thank you so much - why has nobody ever explained this before? I am an avid subscriber now.
I have never witnessed a golf lesson on this topic. Having tried this I can vouch that this works a treat ! Fantastic
This is the clearest explanation of proper wrist movement that I have ever heard. It makes an immediate difference in impact. I have been using you video instruction and it has me hitting more solid shots than ever before. There is not enough emphasis in general instruction about this and it is extremely misunderstood by golfers and even improperly taught. Thanks so much. I am from Ohio, USA and practice in my indoor net and can’t wait for golf season. Thanks, incredible lesson.
I keep going back to this. As far as I can tell, this is the only video that describes wrist action in the golf swing in this fashion. All others talk about cocking of wrists. I am so pleased with your videos. They are detailed but extremely helpful. I watch them all. I was a decent ball striker before and your videos have really helped my understanding of the swing! Thanks!!
This is 100% the best video on youtube. it should win an award. ive been looking for this type of explanation forever. perfect. thank you and cheers!
I just found this video and am so excited. I really like how you present the information - you speak clearly without talking down to us. I have now subscribed and shared your link with my golfing buddies. Thanks.
Rob, many thanks for this amazing lesson. Now aged 64, I shot my lifetime best score yesterday after 55 years of doing it “wrong”.
Thanks Rob. I've watched way too many videos on how the wrists 'should' work in the golf swing but this is by far the best. I've been moving them pretty much as you advise but never really understood why or how it works. Clubface control is so important and when you've got it at a good level the confidence, enjoyment and scores flourish. You have a great teaching style and always enjoy your videos.
One of the best explanations I have seen of the wrists and how they affect the swing. I watch a lot of videos about swing mechanics and this is one of the best. Thank you!
Thank you, Rob. Outstanding and succinct explanation of how the wrists work and should function in the golf swing. 👍
This is literally one of the keys to golf. I remember the day that it dawned on me to cock the right wrist back, which also flattens the left wrist(or slightly bows it). I used to be just as you described…. I pictured cocking the wrists “up”. This did just like you said…. Shaft across the line at the top. Club face too open. Club shaft standing up(too steep) on the downswing. And, inconsistent strike. I managed to play 70’s golf, but with a high weak fade. Now…. I cock the right wrist BACK, and simply flatten the lead wrist. I do this early in my takeaway, and then don’t even think about my wrists anymore. I’ll then allow the forearms to naturally rotate, which lets the shaft follow its natural plane(glove logo up at about a 45* angle at the top). Then, just rotate through the ball, allowing the forearms to naturally rotate through impact, and square the face. I’m now a near scratch player, hit the ball further, and strike it much better, with that compression and hissing sound with my irons. My swing feels more free, and unrestricted than ever before. Listen to this man. He’s the best on TH-cam.
Brilliant! Thanks for taking the time to put your insight into these videos. Most unique and useful explanation of wrist movement that I've seen.
Rob...I concur with Rickoh...by far the best golf instruction video on youtube....it shatters the traditional teaching of the wrists and more importantly explains "WHY"....and "HOW"to correct .....thank you so much Rob!!!!
Once again Rob provides a great explanation for what’s going on with the clubface if you’re trying to ‘hinge’ your wrists for more lag but not precise/specific in how you do it. This lesson has helped me avoid spraying ball dead right. It’s an easier formula to find more fairways if you pay attention. Great info as usual. Thanks.
Ron, this is by far one of the best instruction videos ever! It has unlocked a much different approach to "wrist hinge" feel. I can't wait to practice this and then take it to the course. Thank you for all you do!! I'm almost 65 and a 6 index. Age is catching up to my coordination and timing, but this I believe will make up for it.
I keep watching this video! for years i have struggled with trying to hinge my wrists the wrong way! I now am working on your method, at first, I didn't believe this but after watching many slo mo pro swing I see you are spot on! thanks
Thanks Rob. Keep going into as much DETAIL as possible, as you do. Its was differentiates you from other teachers that gloss over the details which creates a disconnect for the viewers/students/learners. Well done!
Cheers Rob. This has cleared up a LOT of ambiguity. You made it simple to understand and more importantly, explained why! Really appreciate 💥
Wow amazing video. Love this so much I can’t begin to describe it. Please make a series of every aspect of the swing just like this. You’ll be the most followed golf instructor on the internet lol. This in-depth,clear and concise description of wrist move is brilliant. Cheers mate
absolutely one of the best lessons you could ask for. its helped me very much. thank you for all your great input.
One of the best and most informative videos I've ever seen on wrists in the golf swing. Thanks
That is a brilliant tutorial. Can’t wait to get to the range to try this out.
I have been using this since this came out. I repeat that this is the best explanation of wrist use in the golf swing. All others discuss hinging more up and down. This video with the stop short video are perhaps the best videos on golf one can watch. I keep looking for similar content on TH-cam just to see if anyone else suggests this approach and no one describes it quite like this! Thanks again!!!!
Very important piece of info rob. Nicely explained!! I'm sure it's helping many who are watching this. Cheers, see ya soon 😀
I have found what I was looking for all my life. Thanks a lot ! I am so anxious to try it next summer
This is a wonderful lesson. Clearest explanation of wrist action ever no one told me since I played golf . Thanks Rob. I’m subscribed 🙏
Rob, I wished I would seen this video a year ago! This has changed my golf game so much for the better! Now I am doing the wrist hinge right!
Best tip I have found on TH-cam! Thank you!
Paul
Clearest explanation of wrist action ever ! Only one I’ve seen which addresses the unintentional blending of wrist motions, why it happens and how to fix it. Brilliant !
So glad I found this video. Have struggled with strike for the last year, knew I was flipping but couldn't stop it, this instruction has! Just back from the range, 15 yards longer with a high draw. Subscribed, many thanks 😊.
Thank you a thousand times! You are the only one who's explained exactly how the wrists should "hinge/cock" correctly, while also showing why from the front view, there seems to be no difference in the "lag created" (and which has caused all the confusion for people who just watch without hearing the explanation).
John Uphaus: Best golf lesson ever on correct wrist action and swing plane.
Interesting. I started doing this today at the range after having figured it out as a quick fix for my swing, only to come home and see that you've nailed it. Fantastic description without a bunch of hemming and hawing and other fluff. Wish I'd known this 50 years ago. Always a big hitter with driver, couldn't hit my irons straight. I think this will be the key to getting to scratch...if I can make a putt or two!
Hi Rob. I was a paid up member of the L to L for two full years. I’m a good golfer. Yet over the past three years I hooked everything. Searching, forever searching for the little draw, knowing all the while that with the little draw lurks the hook! I have now been with the S/T system for about 14 months. Yes the hook is gone, mostly slight pushes to the right of the target. The driver, for now a slight fade. This video on the movement of the wrists is absolutely the best instruction that I have ever listened to and watched. The detail is simple, easily understood, especially when you combine your backswing video instructions along with this video. I am one hundred percent into Stack and Tilt now. Twenty five years ago I tried the S/T although half heartedly and was told by the pro that I worked for that this would never work. Today, for me its given me a new start, I’m excited about my swing and can’t wait for the 2021 season to begin. I will continue to watch all of the S/T videos and pass them along to my inquisitive golfing buddies and playing partners. Now let’s talk a bit more about driving the flying wrist wedge through the ball. Thank you.
Jerry. Hamilton Ontario.
Fantastic !! Thanks
Never have heard it explained so well and completely understandable 👌
I have taken lessons from several different instructors throughout the years, and I tell them
my wrists don’t feel right in the backswing. But they invariably want to focus on something else. I think my key will be to extend my right wrist I order to flatten my left wrist. Thanks Bob…I think this is an important lesson for a lot of people.
I’ve struggled with wrist position for my entire golf life, but this video really helped. Thank you!
Perfect explained! Have waited many years for this video.
This video and your takeaway video are maybe the two best golf instruction videos on TH-cam. Very well done sir.
Excellent instruction. This drill and a couple others of yours have transformed my game.
Hey Rob, I tryed extending my left wrist at set up, and literally had the best range practice ever... With every club! It changed the backswing and fixed my club face issue. I can't wait to play! Thanks
With no offense to all of the great instruction available online, you are simply the best there is. This is such great info! Being I'm stuck indoors for the foreseeable future, dry swings are all I have and this motion has been like an epiphany! Thank you!
I Am So Satisfied with the instructions. This golf instructors really explains things the way that you can understand them. I am glad and surprised that I even received this golf Lessing and I am thankful for this instructor and I'm going to follow him best instructions I've seen since I've been looking at the TH-cam I agree myself.
unbelievable how clearly you touch on such a complex yet key element to the swing. I have been misled for years that the wrist cocking is the radial deviation. Too much wrist extension at left arm parallel all the way through impact is the death nail to my swing. i cannnot wait to get to the mirror and range to work on just this aspect. Glad i can across your channel!!!!!! subscribed immdiately..
agree the best lesson I have seen. understanding that the wrists are always moving and working to discover the proper movement is really unbelievable tip. By adjusting the wrist movement on the upswing not only sets up the wrists on the downswing but also, for me, slows the backswing allowing for the proper sequence for the downswing. Your videos which does the swing in detail are outstanding. The one about the movement of the head has allowed me to make the full backswing. Thanks!
Rob thank you for the video, even a year later. I’ve seen so many videos explain the need for “lag” however none whatsoever go into the detail of the wrist, deviation/flexion etc. as a result I’ve pushed and sliced my irons for over a year… not anymore..incredible video and detail I can’t thank you enough. No more going down rabbit holes with other instructional videos again! Sticking to my man Rob only!
@@golftecasia The explanation is great. Would love to see this is in a simple drill to do over and over as a practice swing.
Most thoughtful wrist explanation I've ever heard. This is excellent teaching, clear, concise, game changing. Thank you for this!
You don't know how much this video helped me. Watched yesterday and did some dry clubless runs in my bedroom last night. Took it to the range this morning. Consistently hit straight shots with my irons and even my driver just learning how to hinge the wrists. I struggled with club face control and was hitting wicked slices and my shots were losing 35-50 yards easily with it. This video and the stack and tilt are a game changer for me. I'm a beginner (less than six weeks since picking up a club) with a 25 handicap (yikes) never shooting below 100 on a par 72 course. I play again Sunday and cannot wait to!! Thanks so much!
Well done, well dissected, which is how I appreciate a lesson. It demonstrates tremendous patience on your part for the student, breaking is down logically, with the physiology especially. We can replay portions of the video and transition to the next swing thought at our own pace nicely, duplicating in our living room, out to the range and then benefit out on the course. I look forward to watching your previous videos and have now subscribed. Regards.
Really enjoyed that insight, thanks 🙏🏻
Well done Rob. Very detailed and clear instructions on what and how to do it. That is great coaching compared to others on this site.
Hi Rob, great video and a reinforcement for me of finally discovering after 6 years of golf that I don’t need a strong grip, and OMG the strike is a whole new experience which I thought was the reserved of the golf pro’s!
Great detail and explanation, I’m subscribed!
Cheers Phil
This is GOLD! Thanks
I have watched so many videos about how to stop flipping the wrists, but this video is the ONE where it makes it so simple from 12 minutes in, to understand. its a game changer for me, recorded my swing and the flipping has gone, not sure how it relates on the golf course as I cant play with the lockdown. but still I have never seen the flip eliminated until now, and I have recorded my swing many many times...thanks Rob
Iam so happy for this video I havent understand how and the feel of right wrist. Amazing! Suddenly i hit the ball further and more consistent! Watched so many golfvideos but this the best so far!!!
Outstanding video! The best explanation of wrist motion and position I have seen. I have taken many lessons where the pro had me focus on club face position and forward shaft lean to correct my flipping. None ever talked about the proper use of the wrists during the swing. Thank you.
I really enjoy your lessons it really helps reinforce what my Golftec coach is trying to get me doing.
Great information, Rob. Can't wait to get out and give it all a try!
Hi Rob it’s been an enjoyable journey relearning the game from your videos. Your clear description of wrist movement has been a light bulb moment. And I am now feeling confident about my technique.
Great video. Thank you for your clear instruction. An important detail to understand to avoid slice.
Thank you so much for making the wrist action so easy to understand! I was hinging the wrong way for years…someone said the imagine pulling down on a rope. It never worked. Your hinge fix works. I played two rounds using this change and I hit my irons 10-15 yards longer, on target with a slight draw, and I felt like I was barely swinging the club. I used to feel I was fighting my own swing and would get really tired. I don’t get tired anyone. Best golf instruction I’ve ever had
Superb demonstration. The best explanation of the needed action and position of the wrists. Best bucket of balls I've hit in months.
The best explanation of wrist position ever. Excellent.
Thank you Ron. I’ve been struggling to regain making good contact. This video has helped me tremendously.
Thank you so much!!
Outstanding video! Thanks so much! Still working on it, but so far, it has had a huge impact!
Thanks, Rob. Excellent coaching. Really really good...
Agreed with the comments. I’ve found this out over many many videos on TH-cam but to see this clearly explained in one video is brilliant. Thanks you!
Absolutely clear in my mind thank you Rob
Truly one of the very best lessons I've seen in my 60 years of playing. if you're going to take a lesson or two make sure the pro can communicate as well as Mr Cheney does. It will make the difference.
I can’t wait to practice that instruction! Thank you Rob
omg...that was great rob...the way you explained it makes so much sense....cant wait to try this tomorrow..thank you
Best explanation ever! Thank you!
Very topical at the moment but an area of the swing that, I feel, is so important and often overlooked. Cheers, Rob. Great video.
Rob, this has been a game changer, or rather a golf-life changer. I dropped 17 strokes off my score and on my way to a single digit hdcp!
Super, super helpful. This is an incredibly important fundamental.
Great explanation. I’m looking forward to taking it to the range and trying it out.
I've had this problem for probably 20 years. I was the stereotypical "more lag" golfer at HS age, and I'm sure I solidified this mistake to a near0permanent level. I never knew what I was actually doing, and after watching this it makes so much sense. Thank you so much!!
Excellent video, great instruction & teacher! 👍⛳️
Thanks Rob! Although I try NOT to think about my wrists, I needed a good fundamental understanding of how they should be working. I did exactly the opposite - as you mentioned - with my wrists trying to create lag. I am now hitting much more solid shots with much less effort. Thank you!
Great video rob, I hit the ball really solid but it is good to know what’s wrong when I don’t. Thanks, I’m subscribed.
Best wrist hinge explanation video ive seen. Brought my game down to the low 80s with your advice. Thank you so much!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
That was as good if not better than any video i have ever seen.....thank you
Superb explanation
Just came across this video and it is EXCELLENT! I have been playing for 20 years, (46 years old now) and have managed to get ok (shooting in low 80's) I have plenty of club head speed but always lacked consistency. Well I have been hinging my wrists WRONG for the past 20 years! And I have thought about it in the past, thinking why would I open the club face just to hinge my wrists upward and then have to close the clubface during the downswing? Just seems like to many variables to control! But I kept doing it because I thought it was correct and instructor's said that is the way to do it. My misses are blocks to the right or severe hooks, which tells me my club path is ok (in to out) but based on where the clubface is at impact (square to path = block, or closed to path = hook) determined my shot, which was all based on timing and closing the clubface through impact. With this "new" wrist hinge method I don't have to think about opening and closing the clubface only bending the right hand back. Such a great Lesson!!!!
I have played hockey in the past, and when you take a slap shot this is how your wrists work! The blade of the stick remains square to your path, you would never see a hockey player open the blade during the backswing just to close the blade during the downswing. So I tried taking a slap shot with my golf club (not actually hit a ball). If you move your right hand down onto the shaft and take a "slap shot" the wrists will naturally work correctly. Now work your right hand slowly taking "slap shots" along the way until your right hand is next to your left on the grip (use10 finger grip) and take another slap shot keeping same wrist action, you will be amazed at how this feels and this is the CORRECT wrist movement!! What do you think Rob?
I'm a novice golfer and high school golf coach... this video was an eye-opener. Looking forward to seeing what else I can glean from your channel to help my team!
Rob, I can't believe how easy you made the explanation of our wrist. Now I understand completely what wrist hinge is, and how it works, how limited we are. But, more importantly, you've helped me to understand what problem the wrist "cup" creates. I hope this will help me be more accurate on my striking the ball. My only other problem is the loss of distance I now have. I will be 70 yrs. old next month, but my drives are, at maximum, only 200. My driver and 3-wood are almost exactly the same distance, so I use my 3-wood most often off the tee.
I agree with all your other viewers, and I have subscribed, and have rung the bell.
Bless you, Rob!!!
I loved this. The two camera view took me right back the to 10 Golftec lessons I took at the beginning of the year. :) ... and which btw got me on my way to much better and gratifying golf. Thanks, Rob! Really awesome.
Thank you Rob! Extremely clear digestible information which I am able to retain and implement! Brilliant, and have subscribed also. Best, Richard.
Awesome video- I’ve struggled with the concept of what my wrists should be doing for a long time. Took it to the range and saw instant results.
Great explanation of some important variables that took me a long time to grasp via other instructors. Myself I depend on deep hands and a steep shaft going back, hence using some lead wrist extension, then in transition laying off the club introducing flexion, getting a more in to out path, opening up the body to the left to square up the clubface. Looking forward to see more of your videos. Thanks!
Wow wow wow. Most golf instructors teach flat lead wrist and bowed at impact. I hear it over and over again. Understating how and why is what I just learned from you, which other instructors have failed to teach to me. Your explanation was excellent and on my level. Thank you so much for this lesson. It’s a fundamental that is sorely lacking in all the golf instruction I have seen and read. You are awesome.
Very well explained......can’t wait to practice it! 🙂
Great, easy to understand, really appreciate it Rob, you have a new subscriber !
I went to the range and practiced based on your detailed breakdown of how the wrist works. For the first time ever, i've actually hit a draw (on purpose). i was able to alternate between draws and fades on shots. Thank you Sir!.
Thank you. Could never get the wrists bowed like Dustin Johnson til this explanation. Thought my wrists were not working right! Now I know. Will take some time but glad I took a chance on your YT channel. Excellent! Your presentation is very clear and thorough.
