Way forward for sure .use golfers who struggle with to hit there driver ,rather than pupils who look as though they’ve been playing years . Very honest

I like how you investigate the cause by looking carefully at the effect.

@Asone82 11 months ago

James always works with what a golfer has. Hence, although a flat/bowed left wrist at the top is optimal, it is cupped here to get 90* wrist hinge which is the more important thing in the 16 minutes he has to increase distance for a golfer with poor flexibility. The instructor advises bowed wrist in transition in other videos.

I'm mesmerized by your auto golf ball tee coming up from the ground. That's amazing.

Great lesson. What auto feeding mat do you use?

@davehill5539 11 months ago (edited)

On some holes I want a shorter driver distance but my 3 wood is not enough. What adjustment to the driver would you suggest as a place to start. Tempo, length of swing, … ?

Agree with "blueeyes". I thought that right hand should be "holding a tray" at the top of the backswing with driver resulting in cupping of rt wrist and bowing or the left wrist. Please clarify and how does this apply to irons?

@Nobody2day553 11 months ago

Driver is the only club I cannot hit, I shit hit my 5w further. I swing down on my driver and I get 6000-8000 spin... with my driver. If I try swinging up, I drop-kick it every time. Nothing I try seems to help.

@blueeyes6192 11 months ago

Interesting I thought the left wrist should be flat or bowed… but because it’s a strong grip doing this would really shut the club face too much ? Hence why it should be slightly cupped ?
