Golf is hard when you flip, but most golfers do it. So I see almost everybody that comes to me for lessons over the years tends to do the same thing. They stand up out of their posture a little bit. They're getting farther away from the golf ball. They cast a little bit in the downswing, and then when they hit the golf ball, the shaft is straight up and down.

It adds a ton of loft, makes you hit it shorter it makes it more of a glancing, weak blow. And worst of all, it actually pulls the sweet spot higher to where you're going to tend to hit on the low part of the club. A lot of thin, kind of clunky fill in shots when you're doing that. Well, I'm going to show you a trick or a couple of tricks here that's going to help you to finally get the wrist angles.

And once you learn this rectangle, it's going to be a lot easier So here's number one. I want to feel like instead of my left wrist being kind of flat like this or even even bent back like that, I want to feel like my left wrist is bone. That's a tricky feeling for a lot of players. So here's what I want you to do to really feel that take a golf ball and put it in the palm of your hand.

And I want you to make a few kind of practice swings here to where when you're coming down, your hand will actually be turned in like this. Now, if I had a golf club there that would be coming from the inside, I wouldn't be steeper over the top. So I'm actually going to have my hand pointing in. I'm I'm exaggerating that that's exactly what I want to feel.

Now, when I go to impact, I want to have my hand pointed slightly inside out. That would be more of a draw type shape or have my club moving inside out that way. And I want the ball to still be presented back up to me. If I was to flip my wrist, then it would fall down. So I'm turning my hand in.

I'm coming to impact, and it's only when I get all the way up to here that I feel like I can go ahead and let that golf ball come out of my wrist. Now, if I do this same thing with a club, I'm going to have that club from the inside. Now, my hand will be kind of presented back up to me at Impact.

I'm going to have my wrist turn slightly in like that. Look at all this shaft lean now. I mean, this thing is really going to compress against the face, and it's not until I rotate on through here that I go ahead and let the club fold up and release. So you really feel like this hand is is staying like that all the way into the finish and then it flies on through now the second piece of this is you can do the same thing with the right hand.

Just take the hand, bend it back. The right hand isn't going to turn in quite as much you go as much as you can at impact. You're going to feel like it's really square toward the target and you're going to be swinging out to the right. And then the follow through, you're going to select the palm of your hand is for the target as long as you can go similarly at the right hand.

Some people like filling it with the right hand a little bit better. Now, the second piece here is what I call the reverse K smack so when I come down impact here, I want to have that shaft lean. And if you kind of imagine a vertical line then for my legs my ankle, my hip, my shoulder, that's a vertical line.

Then the club shaft itself is leaning forward, which would be the bottom of the K in my right arm is leaning this way. And that would kind of make a K shape here. That's good impact. That's where you want to be. That's what the pros are doing when they're playing great golf. So I want to go ahead and get in that same position and just smack the turf.

I don't want to get used to making little practice swings right through this, and I'll let that club kind of flip past my hands. I want to get to that reverse K now. I just kind of want to hit the turf, so I want to feel like I can smack the ground and I look down. I'm still in this K type shape here.

I don't want to be like this when I smack the ground. So I smack the ground and then I look like that I've lost my K, my club weight on the wrong side of it. I got to be back here, so get used to smacking the ground while you're doing that and having the hands stay in front of the club shaft, then add the right hand and do the same kind of thing.

I'm kind of making that K shape, so even when I hit the ground and I finish, I'm still in that shaft back K shape type position. Now, finally for the release, I want to go ahead and make sure that I do go ahead and let this club go, but it's not going to be all the way up until up in here.

So I'm going to feel I want to feel like when I get into my follow through, we're not club shaft is in parallel to the ground in the fall through. I want this club head to be as far away from my chest as possible. So I'm feeling like I'm coming in here and then I'm extending through the shot. My chest is pointing up to the sky a little bit, or at least level with the ground.

And my arms are long, my club is long, the reason that's so important is if I stand up and flip, I'm going to be here when I'm in that position instead of there. Those three things are going to help you to train your wrist properly, and it's a really solid shots. So I have those same kind of feelings here, and it's going to make it a whole heck of a lot easier to this golf ball with a nice tight draw.

Let's give it a whirl there we go. Really solid. Now I can do much better than that. Now, this is actually the same thing that we've been working on a lot in top speed golf. And this is what I call the straight line release. Now, this reverse K position is extension and front. All this is just helping you to get lag, which is one of the fundamentals in the top speed golf system.

And then a number to get the shaft a very first, split the forearms out in front. You see, if my chest puts the forearms out in front, then I'm going to have forward shaft lean at impact. That's what all the pros are doing now. A lot of players think are so ball bound. They think about hitting the ball the entire time.

And no matter what you work on or your swing until you get that out of your mind that you have to hit this golf ball and start focusing more on the release point, it's really tough to get out of the way and just make a good swing. So what I want you to do next is go to the straight line release section.

I want to talk about there, how to properly focus on the release, point out in front, and I want you to just watch one video. I challenge you, just watch one video today, right now, and write down the drills that you need to do with that video. Let's go to level one, start doing it. And as soon as you knock those out, it's going to start to build success.

Yes. It's going to start to build on what we talked about here today. It's going to make it a habit. See, as you work through level one, level two, level three, it takes it from something that's conscious that you have to think about like these these drills that we talked about here today to something that's automatic. So if you just start with one video today, you're going to be well on the way.

And as you go through the next video, next video, it gets kind of addicting and you get addicted to those really solid shots. Do so head on over there. Watch level one today. Just click the instruction tab, go to the top speed golf system, the straight line release. And I can't wait to see you in level one in the straight line release.

Let's go and get started.
