@@jamesmolinaro4461 I as well used to think it was a silly idea, but I think most people just misunderstand it and take it as "if 6 year old cannot comprehend quantum physics fully after your explanation, you suck", instead of having a super simplified explanation that suits the level of the recipient. Richard Feynman had a good interview that kind of touched on the subject, but can't recall which one it was. A classic case of culture taking a quote and misusing it.
That was literally the first thing what my coach changed. And it improved my game so much. Well done. Matt keep it up. Wanna see you in cali style again. That was so much fun to watch! You impressed not only us, also all the other good good guys.
Exactly that and holding at the top for half a second, which allows my weight to shift forward, has dropped me 15 strokes since same time last year. I am 57 and I now drive 265 yds dead straight. Irons and woods are now fairway finders. Unreal. Grant is such a friggin good teacher, man.
Juat got back from the range where, for the 10000000th time, I forgot that. Hooking, hitting fat, spraying. I stopped and thought "what am I doing?" I wasn't allowing for that stop and fall into the ball. I am 50, and my body doesn't want to do it...I want out of the shot so fast when I am tight or sore. But doing it actually relieves the jarring of mishitting and allows the body to move smoothly through. Mantra in my head "stop, open, compress, clear.". Stop at the back, open my hips just a touch before foreswing, and get low and compress the strike, then clear the body.
Came across your channel about 2 months ago. I'm 52 and have been golfing probably 40 years. I've never been good, lol, even after a few different lessons throughout the years. Grant, you seriously have knocked 5 strokes off my game, and hopefully more in the future. You're a great instructor, you explain things so clearly over video that I look back at the lessons I took and shake my head at those instructors. Keep up the great work!!
The end of the video when grant talks about dropping the hands and then rotating through is something I finally figured out and it has changed my swing and have been able to consistently hit better drives and added more distance to every club. Been striking the ball the best I have in my 2 years of golfing. Also just helped me shoot my lowest round of 86 last week!!
I’ve been working on this since the beginning of the year, and I’ve had some rounds under par. However, I still don’t have it down completely. I will tell you that it will take a little while to get your lead wrist strong enough to make this feel solid, especially if you’ve been used to cocking the wrists “up”, instead of “back”. As the left wrist flattens, or slightly bows, the right wrist will cock more back, instead of up. THAT’S the feeling you want! It feels very strange at first. You’ll even feel like you move your body differently. You’ll feel like your power comes from your “turn”, not your hands. But….. it’s well worth the change. Trust me. You’ll have a more predictable ball flight, hit it further, and the strike will improve dramatically. Great, great video, guys!
I’m a 4 handicap and have flipped at impact my entire life. I’ll have random rounds in the high 80s or a good round going and hit one off the planet right. I’ve been working on this and I can’t tell you how amazing it feels to trust the club face through impact. I still miss left and right and I don’t have it down yet, but my misses are wayyyyy smaller. And it feels like there’s no club rotation through impact which is awesome
@@aaronclare2682 I can tell you for ME…. If I wanna hit a fade, I’ll turn harder, and add more right side bend through impact. The hard turn sorta kicks the club “out” a little, giving me that slight outside/in path needed to hit the fade. The right side bend helps hold the face off a little longer, giving me that slightly “open to path” face that I need. I’ll also finish more low/left after impact. When I’m trying to hit the draw, I’ll feel a like I’m keeping my hands in front of my chest, throughout the entire swing, and I won’t turn the body as aggressively. I’m basically being patient, and allowing the club, and body to move together naturally. The slight body “stall” automatically makes me release the club a little sooner. My swing will actually feel more around me, and “flatter”(if that makes sense). With this swing, I’ll feel myself finishing higher after impact, on my follow through, because I’m slightly throwing the club from the inside/out at the ball. I would experiment with with what “feelings” that YOU need, in order to change path, and face. I hope this helps you, instead of confusing you. Good luck, bro.
@@jamiesloan7259 that’s awesome, I’ll definitely have to try that. I played off a scratch in HS and really miss being able to trust my swing, so I hope to get back to that. I have no idea why my college coaches couldn’t analyze my swing, but I’ve been watching a lot of Grant and slowly implementing stuff. I think this is the biggest key to my inconsistency
@@aaronclare2682 I can tell by the way you talk, that you’re a scratch level player. That’s why I figured that me explaining my swing thoughts, or feelings, might make something “click” for ya. Or, at least give you something that you can relate to. I find it easier to play my fade, but I’ll play the draw if I need to on a specific shot. I can predict my fade better, therefore pretty much eliminating a 2-way miss. My draw comes out as a “block” sometimes, or even a hook. Not good. lol
@@jamiesloan7259 haha yeah I’m traditionally a slight fader. I was hitting a 3 yard draw on the range when I was working on this, but I’m sure I can work my way to fading it with more left rotation as you were saying. I think my absolute favorite thing about this change is, I’ve always been garbage at wedge shots, especially 3/4 ones. I think this is because I get flippy/scoopy with my wrists through impact. I was hitting beautiful low draw 3/4 wedge shots. Every single one wasn’t perfect, but I just made this change. It felt so amazing to just hold off the face and rotate through. I can’t wait to keep working on it, I have a goal to get back to scratch within 2 years (wife and 2 year old make it tough to play a ton)
One of the best online lessons I’ve seen. This is my struggle explained in front of my eyes to a tee! Impact struggles and trying to control the slice into a slight fade or draw. Killer instruction!
Feeling like the hands are "quiet" going back (not changing their address position) during the 1st half of the backswing can be helpful. When the "cups" start, I key on this and then feeling a flat or slightly bowed wrist @ the top. One of Grant's best lessons here.
I adjusted my cupped wrist after I figured out what it was. Tweaked it into a bowed wrist action, it’s taken little over 3 months to dial in the swing into muscle memory. Definitely back the bowed wrist action, very good full rotation without coming down to steep or flipping the club, way to go Matt. Can’t wait to see it in action!
Thanks Grant, you've just underlined what's been missing from a lot of my swings. That moment of pause before the forward swing really is the thing to hit good shots. Thanks for the awesome content; I watched the UK masters today with Rick Shiels. Best thing I've watched on RUclips. So much better than watching PGA and Liv golf! Keep up the good work and I was amazed by the 3 chip ins. Well done. Also, hi Matt loved your positivity and good vibes on the course. Also also well done Bubby on your 5 years dude. Amazing. Laters tatas
I've been playing golf for just over 2 years and have managed to get my handicap down from 25 to 20 and I'm well on my way to being a scratch golfer. My message to all you high handicappers, hackers and duffers out there is to keep practicing and keep the dream alive. Obviously when it doesn't happen and you finally realise that you're never going to be any good at golf and you sell your clubs or they end up in the lake, at least you can say you gave it a go. Best wishes, Johnny Muscles
Keeping the wrist flat and rotating through instead of sliding (as you're working on Grant) are the two things I'm working on and it's really hepled my game. My misses are much smaller now that I don't have to depend so much on timing!
This is what i did without even knowing so, when i corrected my big fade and slice tendency…and after 2/3 yrs really working at it on the range and course its amazing to be able to hit a big high draw and see the ball go right to left. It straightened out my drive a ton, my miss with driver is no longer a big slice. And my irons miss is just a tiny push and i can draw irons controlled when i want for the most part! Its a beautiful thing. And ive been golfing for about 14 yrs
I have a strong grip and struggle with flipping and hitting hooks. I watched grants wrist action video and it has immediately improved my ball striking like crazy
The part at the end where he says to let you hands drop for a second in the slot before rotation is so key. When I’m playing good I’m doing, when I don’t I spray it everywhere with the irons. Great lesson Grant
Crazy how hard golf is sometimes. I am super impressed by Matt’s normal swing, and yet he has to work just as hard as anybody else to get what he wants. Sometimes you feel like the only person struggling. Nice to see the in progress stage!
I've literally just discovered this is what's wrong with my swing and now I've found this video where he's got the exact same issue. It feels exactly like Matt said at first that you've got an extreme bowed wrist on the backswing but just gotta stick with it and get it into that muscle memory
it's so nice to see grant in goodgood. no offense to the others but grant's golf IQ is head and shoulders above the others. i know they're all good players but they are pretty clearly not interested in the mechanics of golf, or the equipment factor. the fitting videos are telling. props for being good, but grant cares about every aspect. very refreshing. good work dude.
I watched tons of videos on golf technics from famous superprofessional coaches. NO ONE gives such pure, open and right to the point advice as Grant does! I just have started to use them - it changed my game completely! I am so much excited! and so grateful! Thanks a lot dude! keep on! I think I will unsubscribe from all golf lessons channels and just stay with GGG labs.
I finally changed my swing to do this, one thing the helped me was, feeling like your throwing your right shoulder down. Idk if it’s just me but it’s was helped me
It’s not just you, my friend. Taking the right shoulder down, under, and through is a club face stability move(DJ, Tommy Fleetwood). It allows you to hold off the flip, roll, or release longer. Whatever you wanna call it. I bet your club face feels more aimed at the sky through impact, instead of the toe rolling over. ? You have to rotate well to achieve this, and it sounds like you do.
The letting the club drop into the slot is key!!! Also having somewhat of a forward press can help Matt use momentum in his backswing which should stop his wrist from cupping!!!
The wrist angle strategy Grant is talking about here was called “Square to Square” back in the 70’s when I was learning golf. Prior to then, everyone used the cupped wrist like Bobby Jones. I learned a lot in this video and I like Matt’s compact swing.
So Matt’s shot shape when he’s struggling is essentially a mini version of Steven’s slicing. I don’t play hardly ever anymore being a Dad, working full time, with gaming and streaming. But I’ve always been able to hit straight irons or draws with irons. But my Driver has become a big cut/slice. I probably need to adjust my swing path and take a look into my wrist position as well. Great video Good Good 🔥
I've started working on this about a month ago, and it ain't easy. I didn't realize I had this problem until I watched this video. Last two rounds I shot 73 and 75 because I felt like I was actually compressing the ball by getting square to the ball. Ball flight was very predictable now. It feels weird and I'm not completely there, but well worth the change. Thanks Grant!!!
Grant is an excellent teacher. Really enjoyed watching this and I’ll be getting myself down the range ASAP! Thanks and keep up the great work. UK follower.
Great video. This is something I've worked on and it makes all the difference. The best part of this video is from 9:00 to 9:15. This reminds me of the GG long drive/ball speed episode with Bryson. Bryson said essentially the same thing. Something to the effect of, "let everything be nice and light at the top, then turn, then just let it go." Great video.
Grant you have knack for teaching pal. Very clear with your explanation and always simple to understand. I know I've got a cupped wrist in my swing so I'm going to give this a try!
I love that they don’t cut out the parts where Grant gives a pointer and it doesn’t work right away. But a swing or two later it’s getting narrowed down and Matt starts to get what grants asking. Makes it very relatable because you aren’t going to get that change and result the next swing every time.
Just found this, have been struggling with my swing the last couple of weeks. Can confirm 100% I cup my wrist. Going to the range today to start to try to work it out
I have same issue as Matt. There is a device called hack motion you should check out. It’s a lead wrist sensor that measures lead wrist angle at top of swing and then at impact so you can see if your lead wrist is extended or flexed as it should be. It’s also a biofeedback tool to help golfer improve. Be cool if you made videos with all the guys to compare and then track Matt’s progress as well. I’m thinking of buying bc I’m so inconsistent. It’s kind of like a track man for the lead wrist angle. Enjoy watching. Great videos.
The pause and then allowing your arms to essentially begin the downswing is essential. If you record yourself in slow motion, you can see how allowing your arms to drop just slightly before anything else moves, will put you in perfect position. Additionally, you have to remember to make a full turn back. If you are not getting enough rotation in your back swing, you will fight a slice forever. Full turn back, drop arms first, let the hips take over. With practice and feeling the sensations, it all comes together fairly quick.
I love seeing the struggle with new swing changes. So often in videos like this, its like... ohh what a miracle, your swing is cured. But in reality it takes a lot of mistakes, trial and error
Thats the power move... keeping that wrist flat. 100 years ago, when I was in High School, a local long drive pro told me I needed to flatten out wrist. I taped 5-6 popsicle sticks to my wrist until I could replicate that move. I went from an Ok ball striker to an dead center of the face striker. Added a ton of distance.
Just wanted to drop in and say that this helped me so much. I have been trying to improve my swing speed and developed a nasty snap hook. The tips on keeping your lead hand straight and letting the club fall into the slot before finishing through your shot has helped tons with keeping me straight off the tee box. Thanks!
Weekend warrior here. Im in on the flat wrist and when everything is on, I can feel the improved efficiency and easy power but now I’m in between swings and have been Tom Shanks, especially with wedges. I don’t feel too close to the ball but feel like I might be trying to swing too hard and breaking down because of it. Anyway I have subscribed. Love the content
Recently made this switch myself, it's weird because my distances stayed the same if not improved, and I feel like I'm swinging smoother without so much force. It's tough to get the muscle memory down but I'm excited for both mine and matt's games
This tip will help every golfer, no doubt. The thing is, Matt is such a good putter!! So, if he simply takes away 2-3 bad tee shots, and/or approach shots…he will be low 70s - high 60s darn near every round.
I think Matt is one of the best golfers on good good he just hasn't been showing up lately, I hate it when Matt gets so down on himself, but it's hard when your not playing well, good luck Matt I am working on swing changes myself. Rooting for you.
Great Video that Grant made here , I wish I would have seen it last summer ! I’ll be applying this to my swing as soon as possible on the range. Thanks You Guys (Garrett)for making this all possible !! You guys ROCK !!!
Thanks for this video! I struggle with throwing my upper body out and over the top at my transition. I’ve been trying several different drills. After watching this, I went back and watched videos of my swing and my wrist is very cupped. Looking forward to trying some of these drills and getting better!
Crazy that this is the video today. Literally yesterday mid-round I caught myself cupping my wrist, every drive was going right or I was flipping to try and save it. Hit a pitching wedge out of a fairway on 12 or 13 and it felt completely different than my longer club swings, as I was keeping the face shut. Last couple holes I focused on keeping that face shut by bowing the wrist and hit my best shots of the day.
Just reread Ben Hogan’s book and proper wrist bend is one of his three keys to a successful downswing. Took me FOREVER to lose my cupped wrist, but it makes a huge impact!
I’ve been trying for years to hit that position. A great feeling to produce a bowed wrist. Is the sensation of holding the club face closed during the backswing! Closed face at the top = Bowed wrist.
same thing ive been working on, so satisfying hitting tight draws after months pushing it right, I like to get it flat on the the takeaway and bow it at the top on the way down
One of my biggest problems. Going to check this first before my swing path. A lot of times I think im swinging slightly over the top, instead I let my wrist cup and end up open at impact. Thanks for the video
This def helps take guess work out of fixing a big miss. I have a weak to neutral left hand and it’s difficult to work on this without one so loosen it up before trying to implement this into your swing.
went from 94 club/121 ball speed at the start to 101 club 143 ball speed. went from 166 yards to 220 yards total distance. the difference of hitting it straighter and with a proper load.
New Cobra clubs fit for you will help for sure. You will likely notice you are able to create even more club head speed once you get it dialed because you will be using the ground forces better. That slight dip left where you are hesitating firing from the top will provide for more explosion up off the ground. My best rounds are when i am keeping the wrist flat but also using the ground best. Keep grinding.
I would love to take a lesson with grant, he is super technical and knows how the golf swing works. Ideally I would love to get better and play a round with all the guys. It would be so much fun
I’ve been working on this the past year and it’s been great overall. I’ve been more consistent and gained yardage. I had a cupped wrist and played a draw but I was inconsistent. I’ve been working on this and my dynamic loft at impact.
Nice video guys. Matt great job learning and Grant you sound like you really know what you’re talking about, great teaching! I‘m practicing the same thing with dropping the arms and shallowing the club, my Pro told me the exact same thing: shift weight to left foot, this will automatically shallow out arms and club to come nicely from the inside.
Great instruction from Grant. I have no doubt Matt will get that California feeling back! Grant needs 2 things: 1) a sign that says "The Doctor is in" and 2) a magazine rack. We can see that you already have a second patient waiting for you (Stephen)!
This is great for everyone. I had this issue too. The swing aid that I am currently using that is helping me is the “G-Snap” by George Gankas. It gives feel and audible feedback.
Today at the driving range was the first time I tried bowing my wrist, which in turn meant today was the first time I ever had a draw. I’ve always had a massively cupped wrist like Matt and always thought it was my grip till now. I was about to give up on ever getting rid of my fade.
I weakened my grip altogether yesterday and it feels so awkward to hold but it feels so much more stable and it kept my left wrist more in line. Also helped with chipping because it forces my release at the same place.
I needed this!! Went out the second time this year (Michigan weather), had a bad slice on the first several holes.. got a few good ones (lucky).. I’ll give this a go at the range this week. Thanks Grant/Matt!
Having a bowed wrist (flexion) is one of the best things for a good golf swing for a person with a neutral grip. It helps you hit the ball more square and have better contact on the ball. It also helps teach you how to rotate through the golf swing.
Grant has the gift to teach/instruct. Einstein said, If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.
I think Einstein was wrong about that one looking back at it
@@jamesmolinaro4461 I as well used to think it was a silly idea, but I think most people just misunderstand it and take it as "if 6 year old cannot comprehend quantum physics fully after your explanation, you suck", instead of having a super simplified explanation that suits the level of the recipient.

Definitely! Helps that his dad is a golf instructor and pro
Einstein never made a cut his whole life. Take your point though, really clear instruction dialling that swing in.

Grant is a damn good teacher. Great explanations and great feedback. When he gets hyped about a shot.. it’s feels great even as a viewer.

well its to be expected, his dad has been a teaching pro for like 30 years
@@kevinrochelle6353 certainly. I don't think I suggested that it was surprising that grant is so knowledgeable
Grant's wrist advice reminds me a lot of what George Gankas talks about. The Top Golf card trick looks like a training aid George sells. Great advice.
These are life savers. I used to struggle to break 100….watched these and a little bit of practice, now I’m almost breaking 80
Great information Grant. The past few videos have changed my perspective. Especially the alignment video!!
I watched tons of videos on golf technics from famous superprofessional coaches. NO ONE gives such pure, open and right to the point advice as Grant does! I just have started to use them - it changed my game completely! I am so much excited! and so grateful! Thanks a lot dude! keep on! I think I will unsubscribe from all golf lessons channels and just stay with GGG labs.
I finally changed my swing to do this, one thing the helped me was, feeling like your throwing your right shoulder down. Idk if it’s just me but it’s was helped me
It’s not just you, my friend. Taking the right shoulder down, under, and through is a club face stability move(DJ, Tommy Fleetwood). It allows you to hold off the flip, roll, or release longer. Whatever you wanna call it. I bet your club face feels more aimed at the sky through impact, instead of the toe rolling over. ? You have to rotate well to achieve this, and it sounds like you do.
The letting the club drop into the slot is key!!! Also having somewhat of a forward press can help Matt use momentum in his backswing which should stop his wrist from cupping!!!
The wrist angle strategy Grant is talking about here was called “Square to Square” back in the 70’s when I was learning golf. Prior to then, everyone used the cupped wrist like Bobby Jones. I learned a lot in this video and I like Matt’s compact swing.
So Matt’s shot shape when he’s struggling is essentially a mini version of Steven’s slicing.
I don’t play hardly ever anymore being a Dad, working full time, with gaming and streaming. But I’ve always been able to hit straight irons or draws with irons. But my Driver has become a big cut/slice.
I probably need to adjust my swing path and take a look into my wrist position as well.
Great video Good Good 🔥
Grant, these videos have been a huge help to my swing. Thank you for all you are doing and keep up the great content.
I've started working on this about a month ago, and it ain't easy. I didn't realize I had this problem until I watched this video. Last two rounds I shot 73 and 75 because I felt like I was actually compressing the ball by getting square to the ball. Ball flight was very predictable now. It feels weird and I'm not completely there, but well worth the change. Thanks Grant!!!
Grant is an excellent teacher. Really enjoyed watching this and I’ll be getting myself down the range ASAP! Thanks and keep up the great work. UK follower.
Literally tried this last time out after watching your last vid on cupped wrist. Changed my contact and consistency completely! Thanks guys!
Great video. This is something I've worked on and it makes all the difference. The best part of this video is from 9:00 to 9:15. This reminds me of the GG long drive/ball speed episode with Bryson. Bryson said essentially the same thing. Something to the effect of, "let everything be nice and light at the top, then turn, then just let it go." Great video.
Grant you have knack for teaching pal. Very clear with your explanation and always simple to understand. I know I've got a cupped wrist in my swing so I'm going to give this a try!
I get so excited when Matt takes his game seriously. So much talent and potential!
Look at Grant! Following in Dad’s footsteps.
Love the tips and the whole good good squad, appreciate you🙏🏼👏🏼
I love that they don’t cut out the parts where Grant gives a pointer and it doesn’t work right away. But a swing or two later it’s getting narrowed down and Matt starts to get what grants asking. Makes it very relatable because you aren’t going to get that change and result the next swing every time.
This stuff has been helping me a lot I am a beginner golfer and but really having a rough time but watching these help so much
Just found this, have been struggling with my swing the last couple of weeks. Can confirm 100% I cup my wrist. Going to the range today to start to try to work it out
I have same issue as Matt. There is a device called hack motion you should check out. It’s a lead wrist sensor that measures lead wrist angle at top of swing and then at impact so you can see if your lead wrist is extended or flexed as it should be. It’s also a biofeedback tool to help golfer improve. Be cool if you made videos with all the guys to compare and then track Matt’s progress as well. I’m thinking of buying bc I’m so inconsistent. It’s kind of like a track man for the lead wrist angle. Enjoy watching. Great videos.
The pause and then allowing your arms to essentially begin the downswing is essential. If you record yourself in slow motion, you can see how allowing your arms to drop just slightly before anything else moves, will put you in perfect position. Additionally, you have to remember to make a full turn back. If you are not getting enough rotation in your back swing, you will fight a slice forever. Full turn back, drop arms first, let the hips take over. With practice and feeling the sensations, it all comes together fairly quick.
Steve nonchalantly walking in the door looking JACKED
Grant is the best teacher of golf I’ve ever witnessed
I love seeing the struggle with new swing changes. So often in videos like this, its like... ohh what a miracle, your swing is cured. But in reality it takes a lot of mistakes, trial and error
I am only coming here for golf tips! You guys are awesome! Thank you for the watch tip, Matt, can't wait to try it. Grant, what a teacher!
My God, Grant. This channel is friggen’ fire.
Thats the power move... keeping that wrist flat. 100 years ago, when I was in High School, a local long drive pro told me I needed to flatten out wrist. I taped 5-6 popsicle sticks to my wrist until I could replicate that move. I went from an Ok ball striker to an dead center of the face striker. Added a ton of distance.
The guy has two RUclips holes in one. You don’t mess with that kind of greatness.
I got a lesson and had the exact same problem with the wrist. game changer once i fixed that
Just wanted to drop in and say that this helped me so much. I have been trying to improve my swing speed and developed a nasty snap hook. The tips on keeping your lead hand straight and letting the club fall into the slot before finishing through your shot has helped tons with keeping me straight off the tee box. Thanks!
Weekend warrior here. Im in on the flat wrist and when everything is on, I can feel the improved efficiency and easy power but now I’m in between swings and have been Tom Shanks, especially with wedges. I don’t feel too close to the ball but feel like I might be trying to swing too hard and breaking down because of it. Anyway I have subscribed. Love the content
Matt has always been an athlete...I picked that up the first good good video I watched...just stupid smooth and fast
Recently made this switch myself, it's weird because my distances stayed the same if not improved, and I feel like I'm swinging smoother without so much force. It's tough to get the muscle memory down but I'm excited for both mine and matt's games
My mind is blown. Gonna need to rewatch this one.
This tip will help every golfer, no doubt. The thing is, Matt is such a good putter!! So, if he simply takes away 2-3 bad tee shots, and/or approach shots…he will be low 70s - high 60s darn near every round.
grant with the A1 tips. thanks dawg. the way you broke it down made it easy to follow fo sho
I think Matt is one of the best golfers on good good he just hasn't been showing up lately, I hate it when Matt gets so down on himself, but it's hard when your not playing well, good luck Matt I am working on swing changes myself. Rooting for you.
Great Video that Grant made here , I wish I would have seen it last summer ! I’ll be applying this to my swing as soon as possible on the range. Thanks You Guys (Garrett)for making this all possible !! You guys ROCK !!!
Thanks for this video! I struggle with throwing my upper body out and over the top at my transition. I’ve been trying several different drills. After watching this, I went back and watched videos of my swing and my wrist is very cupped. Looking forward to trying some of these drills and getting better!
This is one of the most helpful golf videos I’ve ever watched
Crazy that this is the video today. Literally yesterday mid-round I caught myself cupping my wrist, every drive was going right or I was flipping to try and save it. Hit a pitching wedge out of a fairway on 12 or 13 and it felt completely different than my longer club swings, as I was keeping the face shut. Last couple holes I focused on keeping that face shut by bowing the wrist and hit my best shots of the day.
I suffered the same inconsistencies. Thanks, I looked at my swing and sure enough I had developed a cupped wrist. Going to the range tomorrow.
Just reread Ben Hogan’s book and proper wrist bend is one of his three keys to a successful downswing. Took me FOREVER to lose my cupped wrist, but it makes a huge impact!
I’ve been trying for years to hit that position. A great feeling to produce a bowed wrist. Is the sensation of holding the club face closed during the backswing!
Closed face at the top = Bowed wrist.
GAME CHANGER. You don't realize your doing this and when you make the change it's huge.
same thing ive been working on, so satisfying hitting tight draws after months pushing it right, I like to get it flat on the the takeaway and bow it at the top on the way down
One of my biggest problems. Going to check this first before my swing path. A lot of times I think im swinging slightly over the top, instead I let my wrist cup and end up open at impact. Thanks for the video
One thing I noticed is that Matt had awesome follow-through on his best shots.
This def helps take guess work out of fixing a big miss. I have a weak to neutral left hand and it’s difficult to work on this without one so loosen it up before trying to implement this into your swing.
Going from +10 to scratch would feel very bad man
I don't think these guys know what +10 means 😂
went from 94 club/121 ball speed at the start to 101 club 143 ball speed. went from 166 yards to 220 yards total distance. the difference of hitting it straighter and with a proper load.
New Cobra clubs fit for you will help for sure. You will likely notice you are able to create even more club head speed once you get it dialed because you will be using the ground forces better. That slight dip left where you are hesitating firing from the top will provide for more explosion up off the ground. My best rounds are when i am keeping the wrist flat but also using the ground best. Keep grinding.
I would love to take a lesson with grant, he is super technical and knows how the golf swing works. Ideally I would love to get better and play a round with all the guys. It would be so much fun
Good Good Labs needs more golf lessons with Grant.
In a lesson to fix my large draws i was taught to have cupped wrist at the top to straighten out my ball flight
Good good tip for the hands to start the downswing instead of the body first.
wow swing looks PURE amazing how something so small makes such a difference in the golf swing.
I’ve been working on this the past year and it’s been great overall. I’ve been more consistent and gained yardage. I had a cupped wrist and played a draw but I was inconsistent. I’ve been working on this and my dynamic loft at impact.
Nice video guys. Matt great job learning and Grant you sound like you really know what you’re talking about, great teaching! I‘m practicing the same thing with dropping the arms and shallowing the club, my Pro told me the exact same thing: shift weight to left foot, this will automatically shallow out arms and club to come nicely from the inside.
Great instruction from Grant. I have no doubt Matt will get that California feeling back! Grant needs 2 things: 1) a sign that says "The Doctor is in" and 2) a magazine rack. We can see that you already have a second patient waiting for you (Stephen)!
Matt, you were fire in Hawaii. It would be interesting to watch those swings back.
This is great for everyone. I had this issue too. The swing aid that I am currently using that is helping me is the “G-Snap” by George Gankas. It gives feel and audible feedback.
Grant defs chose the right path for teaching. He can look and disect a swing very quickly.
Today at the driving range was the first time I tried bowing my wrist, which in turn meant today was the first time I ever had a draw. I’ve always had a massively cupped wrist like Matt and always thought it was my grip till now. I was about to give up on ever getting rid of my fade.
I weakened my grip altogether yesterday and it feels so awkward to hold but it feels so much more stable and it kept my left wrist more in line. Also helped with chipping because it forces my release at the same place.
I did this the last round I played last week and was hitting my drives consistently straighter
I needed this!! Went out the second time this year (Michigan weather), had a bad slice on the first several holes.. got a few good ones (lucky).. I’ll give this a go at the range this week. Thanks Grant/Matt!
Grant just makes things so clear and easy to put in practice
I have very similar swing to Matt and fall to similar issues when I’m not right. I think this is a very helpful video.
This is the most helpful video for me yet. Thank you
Having a bowed wrist (flexion) is one of the best things for a good golf swing for a person with a neutral grip. It helps you hit the ball more square and have better contact on the ball. It also helps teach you how to rotate through the golf swing.
I still have problems holding the bowed wrist through the entire downswing but when I do my irons are pure
Immaculate video, love grant as a coach
