Yes, hopefully he maintains that mobility. I feel like his move is going to be a little bit harder to do as he gets older, but if he stays in good shape, I think he’ll be fine.

What is the golf ball doing? What does your contact with the ball look like?

How do you define flipping?

@@CraigHocknullGolf Inconsistent ball striking from 6 iron down.

@CraigHocknullGolf Left wrist arm starts collapsing about 3 to 4 inches post impact.

Do you mean rolling over?

I’ve also tried both and at my level I’m way more impressed with the recoil.

Thank you!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Not too shabby! Lots more to play!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! I’m glad I could help and that you are enjoying my channel! Cheers!

Thank you!

Well that’s quite the story and I’m so glad you are on the mend and back to swinging the club well. Thanks for your kind words! I’m happy that you are happy 😃 Cheers!

As far as the strength and speed, just keep using those hands and forearms and work on good flexing in your turn.

@@CraigHocknullGolfyes, I was a bit long winded. Your video came into my feed and seeing your release clicked. I'll recommend your channel because you're teaching the swing. On with my journey. Ty

@ag358 I love it! Thank you for sharing your story and for sharing my channel! Let me know how the journey goes!

Yes, as a kid of seven years old spent many hours whacking a car tire along the grass of my backyard and Darwin Australia.

You got it! Check out my videos on how to release the club correctly so you can improve on this fix!

Thanks for the compliment and nice points you bring up. Most people that I coach who play golf from the side of their non-dominant hand do so because they started doing that as a kid. Mickelson mimicked his dad from the mirror opposite side and became a lefty but then throws a ball righty. In the other sports you mentioned like hockey and hurling the stronger arm lifts and carries the stick and steers the puck. In baseball and cricket and golf most play from the same side as their dominant hand. I believe that if you are picking up the sport of golf for the first time and wondering which side to play from, I would encourage you to use the same side as you would throw a ball. In my opinion most golfers who play the best starting as adults do so using their throwing arm as their dominant arm in golf and play from that same side.

@@CraigHocknullGolf And I would be totally agnostic to this, and suggest to anyone that they play golf with whichever hand they are most comfortable with. Although I am right-handed dominant, I could never imagine playing golf right-handed with any degree of skill, dexterity, or consistency. Lefty hockey player, lefty golfer, lefty batter. Always and forever, for me.

@tonyk501 you are welcome to be agnostic on this I on the other hand have seen tremendous benefits of guiding my students into the direction that I see most bio mechanically sound. Now that being said, most adults have learned to “play the game” from one side and even though the bio mechanical evidence supports switching for “better ball hitting” the return on this investment is usually not worth it. I caddied for Mac O’Grady who is probably the best golfer in the world from both sides. I can play left handed and right handed and almost switched in 2014 due to a hand injury. However my golf experience and IQ for “playing the game” would never be matched so I just waited until I healed better. I’m glad I did because now I’m playing better and hitting the ball further than I ever have. I’ll keep teaching my beginners to play from the same side as they would throw a ball until I find evidence to the counter. Thanks again for your comments!

@@CraigHocknullGolf I do not consider anyone who has previously grown up playing hockey a true "beginner" in golf, as the genetic imprint and influence of being a left-handed shooting hockey player may override everything else. Baseball would be more similar to a golf swing, however, so odds are good that a right-handed batter in baseball will also feel more comfortable playing golf right-handed. The best advice as a child Mike Weir ever got was a return letter from Jack Nicklaus advising him to stick with playing golf as a lefty if that felt more comfortable for him. Do you think he would have won the 2003 Masters in Augusta if he decided to play golf right-handed instead? He probably never would have made the professional ranks. Same goes for Phil Mickelson, who is one of the greatest hall-of-famers we will ever see. Brian Harman and Robert MacIntyre are also a right-handed dominant players who both play golf left-handed. Insisting that all the guys mentioned above should have instead played golf right-handed is *utterly and patently absurd* .

@tonyk501 For every example that you have mentioned there are contradictory examples. I can tell from your last sentence that you are passionate about this. I take my role as a coach very seriously and have been playing and coaching at a very high level for a very long time. I can sleep soundly at night knowing that my advice comes from a very well educated and informed place. Sighting and example of Weir to explain a point is unfair to Mike Weirs mental strength, athleticism etc etc. We will never know if he could have made it on tour or in fact won even more tournaments because his choice of swing direction is just one part of it. Again I agree that if someone is athletically inclined such as hockey to play from a given side then I would also encourage them to do so. There are however people who are beginners who have played very little to no stick and ball sports who have thrown a ball or skipped a stone and those are the people whom I’m referring to. Hopefully you can read my comment entire comment before judging me as “absurd”.

You are welcome! What was your biggest takeaway from the video?

Thanks! What did you find most interesting?

You are welcome! Hopefully you have subscribed and shared my channel! Cheers!

No the physics doesn’t quite match up unless you’re going to get a set from DeChambeau. I recommend that the golfer avoid making compensations and manipulations due to their clubs poor fitting.

No I’m not coaching in Park City anymore I’m now coaching in New York. Here is how you can do an online lesson. Here is how you can start doing online lessons with me ruclips.net/video/R5CYojqzI0Q/видео.html

Yes it’s challenging to describe. If you copy the flat footed swings you will get the feeling!

Yes, absolutely!

Thank you! Maybe now that you know the secret you can sleep easier!

LOL you’ll have to sort through my over 1000 videos before you decide!

I also have playlist etc. Enjoy!

If you are referring to my online lesson program it’s a lot more than just a couple of swings. Never the less I do this all day every day so rest assured that a couple of swing videos is sufficient, however I’ll probably be asking a lot more of you than you may be ready for!

This series is designed to coach someone correctly through the swing using the Saber. Much of my throw back to scoop coaching is to correct for people who have been taught to lag the club, rotate their hips and roll their hands through the release. The ten positions of the golf swing series was done before I developed the throw to scoop terminology, however in this ten position series I still discuss a neutral release where the barrel of the Saber snaps through impact without rolling over. If I do the sequence again I’ll use some of the newer terms and feels, but the process of the ten positions is still sound and fundamentally correct. Hope that helps. If you go back even further you’ll see my Golf Spin videos which don’t speak of throw and scoop. As a player first and coach second I have refined and improved my methods and scoring average consistently over the last 30 years to the point that I’m playing better now than ever. If you’re not learning and growing your going backwards. Hope this helps you play your best golf!

Got it!! Many thanks for your thoughtful and detailed clarification. All the best to you!

Attached to my left arm!

No concern for topping the ball. Yes there should be some crunch and hammer throughout the down swing. Most should just start hands with arms before they begin to use additional power sources.

@@CraigHocknullGolf awesome, thank you. Your content continues to be great.

@travisjaggers2114 Thank you!

Thank you!

Awesome! Thanks for subscribing and engaging on this channel!

@@CraigHocknullGolfyou may have said it on your channel but I start the throw into the curve and the driver you definitely have to throw sooner than irons. Chipping and pitching is much easier too. A question I have is do you want the lead hand softer than the trail hand or equal?

They are great! I’ll be testing the Dart soon as they discontinue this shaft.

Hopefully this helps someone to understand the golf swing better!

When the student is ready the teacher will appear.

Hahaha love it!

🤣🤣

Thank you!

That’s a good way of thinking of it!

Thank you!

@@CraigHocknullGolf Hi Craig, quite evidently you think deeply and drill down into the nitty gritty details. Without wanting to put words into your mouth it seems to me that your concept is in harmony with Ernest Jones 'Swing the Clubhead' and Henry Cotton's hands are the Key factor i.e. swing the clubhead and the body follows....

@willbrooks3490 I have found that if the hands and forearms know how to move the club back an through correctly they will teach the arms and shoulders how to move. When the arms and shoulders know how to move correctly you are well on your way. The tricky part is getting the core, hips and legs to now move correctly without messing up the good work that’s already been done. I will research those books or methods you mentioned. Thank you!

Great stuff!

Don’t over think all of this. I’m using a shaft without a head when hitting the impact bag with one hand. The timing of the throw is definitely unique like a signature but I’d hazard to guess that most release way too late in an attempt to “lag”

@@CraigHocknullGolf That makes sense, thank you.

Thank you! glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, I think you can think of it that way. If you throwing it with a wedge, it will be later in the downswing and longer clubs will be much earlier and deeper behind you. I did a video on this with my Saber at Twin Dolphin in Cabo San Lucas. It would’ve been posted in January or February 2022.

@@CraigHocknullGolf Thanks for the reply. Watched the video :)

Correct I used to be the Director of Instruction there. If you watch the full video, you’ll hear me talk about the 18th hole.

@@CraigHocknullGolf Love that place, one of the best courses in the country imo

Ok 👍 I could’ve also edited it out everything and made it look perfect. But that’s not how I roll. If you’re looking for authentic coaching, this is where you find it.

Hopefully you get some good practice in your sleep. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes!
