Excellent job Giles on explaining Pete Cowen's downswing move recommendation! This is something I have been working very hard on for a few months now. It is coming along and I am feeling more comfortable with it as time moves on! As Always Giles, Well Done!
Question: instead of adding another variable - rotate the right hand on the downswing - why not just keep the clubface closed from the very beginning so the trail hand just naturally assumes the "push-down" motion? I had an instructor teach this to me some time ago and it works wonderfully. On the takeback, keep the face closed - facing the ground, complete your turn and then just push down with the trail hand. It works.
@@Gilesgillgolf Basically we're talking about BOWING the LEFT WRIST (right handers). That bow is what gets the club face square at impact. Now, when to bow? What I've been doing is bowing as I get to the top of the backswing. I admit, it feels a bit awkward. So I'll try NEUTRAL WRISTS at the top, then rotate or BOW the LEFT WRIST as I start the downswing - as you are demonstrating. That should remove that awkward feel at the top and let me get better left arm extension.
I have watched a lot of videos of Pete Cowen and I have always found it difficult to fully understand what he's actually talking about. Like his spiral coil turning thing. I could never understand how what he was talking about was different then just doing a normal turn.
If your palm was facing truly down at impact you'd smother the ball. When you demonstrate the move your palm is not facing down but downwards thru impact.

Fantastic! Great to hear you’ve been working hard on your game
Very interesting. I’ll put this drill in motion today!
Go slow first
Nice one! Simple to comprehend! 👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Great tip! Struggling with my swing lately (odd hozzle contact) so will give this a go! Thanks
Check out my shanks video

You can do & but a lot of people get to good top of backswings and then open the face on the way down. This is directed more at them

I’ve also felt the same way
I hope this helps. Coiling is essentially turning with a tiny bit of hip restriction to create an engaged body
3:26 now watch this drive!!!
Huh
If your palm was facing truly down at impact you'd smother the ball. When you demonstrate the move your palm is not facing down but downwards thru impact.
Never said it does point down at impact. It points down at shaft parallel like demonstrate. Right palm points forward & slightly down at impact
Great explanation but god help any amateurs trying replicate.
I’m just the messenger. It’s actually pretty easy move if you just break it down slow
Giles....wouldn't you hook it with this feeling of turning right wrist down?? Looks like a closed clubface?!
You have to have the face in this position to deliver shaft lean. Shaft lean is an opener of the clubface so the two cancel each other out
This seems like just the opposite of last weeks shallowing tip🤔🤔🤔
Same move, last week was lead arm, this is trail arm
Lead arm looks like turning steering wheel to left? What am I missing? Thx
@@Randy-1956 that the lead wrist flexing & not the arm turning
Turning left on way down instead of pointing left thumb to right on way down🤔🤔🤔
@@Randy-1956 it’s easy to do. Grab a club and you’ll see
Simply lovely
Thank you! 😊
