In today’s video we’re going to talk about one of the simplest things you can do to start hitting better golf shots...
I’m talking about the waggle, which done properly is much more than just a way to shake off the nerves before you take the club back.
A good waggle is a mini dress rehearsal for your swing, training your hands, arms, and trail elbow for the proper positions at impact…
And best of all, it’s something you can rely on under pressure to help you preset your swing for success.
We'll take a look at how Tiger Woods views the waggle, as well as all-time greats like Ben Hogan and Sam Snead. In fact, Hogan dedicated several full pages in his classic book "5 Lessons" just to the details of the waggle.
It's one of the simplest things you can do, and it can make a huge improvement in your ball striking!

Hi I'm Zach, thank you for visiting my channel. My goal here is to help you play the best golf of your life while having as much fun as possible!
I'm a PGA-certified golf instructor and have been coaching since 1997. I've been named a Golf Digest "Best Young Teacher," a GolfTips Magazine "Top 25 Golf Instructor," and Southern California PGA's Teacher of the Year. I've worked with golfers of all ages and levels, from 4-year-old beginners on up through touring professionals. My students have included nationally-ranked juniors, touring pros, celebrities, and CEOs, but wherever you're at on your golfing journey, my goal is always the same... to help YOU play your best golf!
I started playing competitive golf at a young age, ultimately reaching #3 in the California junior golf rankings - just behind another promising young golfer named Tiger Woods. I also played collegiate golf at the University of Southern California and professional golf on the Omega Asian Tour.
I work with students in-person at my studio in Valencia, CA, and teach golfers all around the world through my CZcams channel and on my website: ballstrikingblueprint.com. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a comment if you have any questions or would like to get in touch! - Sport
This video covers all the important aspects of the golf swing.
Really focusing on lag, club shaft lean and covering the ball has made a world of difference in my ball striking.
Great video!
Zach, you are blessed with a very calming golf teaching technique. Whenever l see you come on w a new video, my blood pressure goes down about 20 points.
Then l play and it goes up again.
That is the best thing I have heard all week. Made my crappy day much better 😂
Excellent video. I loved The Five Fundementals, but this really crystallizes the purpose and benefits of the waggle. I'm going back to it. Properly! Thanks Zach.
Glad it was helpful!
This is great! If there's one thing I used to do, that I don't now, it's the waggle! As you demonstrated, I practice the take away. If you think about it, you'll see that the waggle is practicing "the release". That is something you have to time perfectly. What a great way to practice it right before you swing!
Thank you for the waggle-reinforcement. Used to waggle - need to get back to this basic.
Tried it yesterday at the range and it really did help in many ways. Improved consistency, power, and direction. Who could ask for more. Thanks to you and Ben. 😊
This is huge. I recently read Hogan's book and have been working on my swing for the past year and a half...time for some lessons but I laughed when your video came up in the algorithm because I do this waggle already subconsciously...just started within the last couple months. Never picked it up because someone told me to, just started doing it. It helps center me, and gets me calm, gets my swing in motion without standing over the ball too long.
Boy those are some pretty amazing observations and applications Zach. Thank you for this.
Thx for the waggle video, looking forward to getting to the range to practice it
I was doing the waggle wrong, so I stopped doing it, Now I know the right way to do a Waggle. Thanks!! Great advice
Glad to help
Very cool! Totally overlooked. Thanx!
사소한것 같지만 아주 중요한 레슨입니다.
감사합니다.
Really interesting Zach. I am re-reading Hogan now. I feel like I misinterpreted the text in the past. Hogan describes the swing as an extension of the waggle. However, unless the turn and waggle are blended on the backswing one can fall into the trap of waggling first then moving into the backswing which rolls the forearms inside and early with an open face. I have struggled with this habit since and am only now starting to better understand the blend and ensure I turn correctly in the backswing.
You are an exactly right. Waggle is a part of the backswing feel, but not the beginning.
Zach thanks for confirming. Really enjoyed the video!
Well, the waggle doesn't roll the left forearm; or open the face. Hogan tells us to make a "downwards rotation of the left hand in the waggle", which is key. And, if you waggle the club back, then just simply move your arms towards the ball, you will find that the clubface is square to the target. Obviously, that is not how we would return the club to the ball in the waggle, but, this proves that the club doesn't open in the waggle. And, when we make a downwards rotation of the left hand, in the waggle, it extends the extensors in the hand. This then enables us to extend the extensors, as we push back with the left arm, in the actual takeaway. A great way to get a feel for this is to hold the club out to your left, with your left hand; and, then press your hand in front of the clubhead. This will extend the hand; and, it will actually set the club in motion, on the correct arc.
Great demo of Hogans waggle!..Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Zach great video. Early 50s, Right-handed golfer with hip arthritis in left hip. Any suggestions for players with hip mobility issues on changes to the swing to minimize impact on the hips?
I never knew this! Great swing preview-feel.
Glad you like it!
Very good Zach.
Thanks Ron
Great job Dude!!! With love from Russia as always!
Nice glad to have you tuning in.
Moe Norman best ball stricker of all
Yes sir
Looking for some clarity, or affirmation. So when the trail wrist bends backwards it causing the trail elbow to in toward are in front of hip. The lead arm rotates away from the target which places the back of the lead hand facing away from my body. As I rotate away from the ball these hand and forearm positions are maintained. Does the foreman rotate or twist toward the target in the diwnswing?
Hey Zach, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made.
I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
Will start incorporating that. Irons only or driver too?
Nope any full swing
Should I take club back in same direction as waggle is going back?
ok.... Right.... Okay... Right... Ok.... Right... Okay.... Right.... Ok.... Right.....
Working on that 🤫
Yes, "as ye waggle so shall ye swing"; but, i want to tell you that there is a new and improved way of waggling the club, which actually integrates the waggle into our pre swing routine. If you grip the club lightly, when you initially take your grip, at address; and, then raise your position, to look up at the target, the weight of the club will actually press the club up against the heel pad of your left hand. This arches the hand slightly; and, it, also, presses the hand fowards, which, in effect, waggles the club back. The extensors, in the hand, extend passively, which gives the hand more flexion. The club is returned to the ball in exactly the same way as you would normally return it to the ball in the waggle- by pressing the index finger side of the left hand towards the adjacent thumb pad of the right hand, which is, also, how the club is returned to the ball from the top of the backswing.
