I just finished the first read through of your book a few days ago. I have been working on trying to flex the lead wrist at the halfway back position and am struggling with that. This video should help. Thanks for this one. Can’t wait for our course to open in Nova Scotia. I’m a 71 yo female and my bucket list is to break 90 this season. 🤞
You can do it! Love the passion you are bringing to the game and improving. We are hear to help...are you on our email list? If not, join here as this is where we first post our newest content usgolftv.com/
Just found your videos and will definitely use them to discuss things with my better half, (esp at golf) she's an LPGA pro here in az, far east aside of the valley at gold canyon golf resort, Katie, and I'm a greenskeeper new to the game about 2 years in since I met her. There's always videos I'll find and ask her.. hey do I do this? Should I do this? Or often times she will say,, I've been trying to tell you that!!! Lol
Hi Todd, Mark here, Sydney Australia. Would appreciate it if you could do a video on the trial arm during the full swing and where it should be to hit consistent straight and long drives. Cheers.
My golf coach has been trying to get me to hinge the club up as it seems I do as you described. The heavy deal!!! Does the wrist hinge start immediately in the backswing or at some point during takeaway. Sorry if this is a bit of a silly question 😊😊
Todd I am in California in Benicia,ca. I am 82 and have drop foot and wear an AFO brace on my left foot. Trying to find a setup that help me with my swing and balance
I used to do the hinge drill but it slipped from memory. Geezer here. ha. I like the last tip of lower hands as that seems to get the swing started correctly. Good tips.
Sid from India. Great videos! Thanks Todd, Nick and team! I am confused about lowering the hands tip. In a few other videos, you have suggested to raise the handle to reduce the chances of slicing. Can you clarify?
Great question. We like the high handle for the driver and our students who struggle slicing the golf ball. If we have students struggling with proper wrist hinge we will have them lower the hands. Hope that helps...
Yes and no, it all depends on the golfer. In the Vertical Line Swing we like to see a slightly closed clubface or a flat lead wrist. You can learn more here if interested www.badliegolfbook.com/
Make sure you have a wider stance with the toes flared out. I would also read this as it covered the entire Vertical Line Swing system www.badliegolfbook.com/
We have some concepts of those you mention. The entire system is covered in our book THE BAD LIE which you can find at Amazon if interested in learning more.

I think, turn, set wrist and swing. For me its tempo. Turn, set wrist swing. If I set wrist early, no distance in my back swing. So its all sequencing, tempo. Turn, upper body, set wrist, swing. I do that over and over so my tempo is the same.
Totally disagree with you, at least the way you describe and demonstrate the weight of the club in the swing. To me, the club must feel heavy from the handle to clubhead through the swing. What you demonstrate is weak hands where the weight of the club overpowers the hands and arms. I need a firm grip feeling the weight of the club in the coil to set the club at the top of the backswing. Once the club is set the lower body and legs lead the shoulders, arms, and wrists through release in the downswing.
The trail wrist does NOT hinge up and to compare this with an extreme wrong swing is a strawman argument. Lead wrist hinges up. Trail wrist hinges BACK.
I appreciate your comment and the insight you provided on the trail wrist hinge, certainly different ways to do it. It's great to have a community of golf enthusiasts who can share their knowledge and experiences, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Thanks again for your all teaching videos, the hinge you are speaking about is for all clubs including the driver right?
Great lesson!!! Thanks Stavros
Our pleasure, the Vertical Line Swing is making the game enjoyable for so many!

Mark, thanks for the idea. Will pass forward to the content team.
My golf coach has been trying to get me to hinge the club up as it seems I do as you described. The heavy deal!!! Does the wrist hinge start immediately in the backswing or at some point during takeaway. Sorry if this is a bit of a silly question 😊😊
We like to see it take place from when the clubshaft is at parallel to the ground to lead arm being parallel to the ground. Hope that helps...

Is this drill and lesson the same when using driver and fairway wood
Yes, this can work for all clubs.
I used to do the hinge drill but it slipped from memory. Geezer here. ha. I like the last tip of lower hands as that seems to get the swing started correctly. Good tips.
Marty, you speak a truth, the key is to find what works well for YOU...this is the journey of golf for all of us.
Sid from India. Great videos! Thanks Todd, Nick and team!

Great question. We like the high handle for the driver and our students who struggle slicing the golf ball. If we have students struggling with proper wrist hinge we will have them lower the hands. Hope that helps...
hinging up like he did at the 04:55 mark is called wrist cocking for the people that are confused.
I saw another video that stressed flat wrist at top of backswing. Should that be additional to this video?
Yes and no, it all depends on the golfer. In the Vertical Line Swing we like to see a slightly closed clubface or a flat lead wrist. You can learn more here if interested www.badliegolfbook.com/
I couldn’t find your video on transition…? Thanks.

Nick Faldo has a drill where the club is parallel to his body then he does his back and thru swing. He said he did this drill till the cows came home.
Faldo was a ball striking machine...an all time great!
Why wouldn't you set your flat lead wrist condition at set-up, so you wouldn't have to think about having to manipulate your wrist during the swing ?
It is possible to do that, however we like to see some movement in the swing as it helps tempo and rhythm and timing in our experience
how do you transfer you weight so not to fall back ?
Make sure you have a wider stance with the toes flared out. I would also read this as it covered the entire Vertical Line Swing system www.badliegolfbook.com/
to me it looks like the A swing of David Leadbetter or Jim Furyk, DeChambeau, Matthew Wolf, etc, etc
We have some concepts of those you mention. The entire system is covered in our book THE BAD LIE which you can find at Amazon if interested in learning more.

Should my wrist be cupped or flat at the top?🤨
Really depends on your grip style. In general most amateur golfers are better to feel like the lead wrist is flat IMO.
@@USGOLFTVshow that makes sense
I think, turn, set wrist and swing. For me its tempo. Turn, set wrist swing. If I set wrist early, no distance in my back swing. So its all sequencing, tempo. Turn, upper body, set wrist, swing. I do that over and over so my tempo is the same.

Well you're wrong...so
The trail wrist does NOT hinge up and to compare this with an extreme wrong swing is a strawman argument.
Lead wrist hinges up. Trail wrist hinges BACK.
