After a long struggle, I realized my wrists were the issue. Glad I found this video!

Thank you 🙏 it was a massive Ah-ha moment when Mike showed me this. For years I was told to “take the hands out of the swing” What I really needed was to learn how to use them correctly. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.

So true! Watch the ones that teaches the no hand method, they use hands and l mean they smack the bee gees out of the ball with the hands 😂

I have used the hands and wrists like this for many years. Now getting a little older and after suffering a severe golf injury where I hit a root and tore the ligaments and tendons in both wrists as well as having some nerve damage in both elbows, it is 11 years and several surgeries later. My issue is that I now really battle to hold the angles and while I still am able to generate some decent speed, I do not compress the ball at all and it all lands up being a flip at the ball resulting in shots that go very high and spin excessively. So despite still generating 86 - 90mph clubhead speed with a 7i, my distance is poor due to lack of compression.
This is not an issue with driver where you don't need that negative angle of attack.
For purposes of reference, I am a former state player at senior level. I am now almost 60, and have started playing again after breaking my shoulder a few months ago. Handicap is 0.6.
Any advice?

Oh wow that’s a tough break I hope you’re ok.
1. Firstly check your left hand grip we as an industry have taught golfers to hold the club with our palm’s opposing and that the back of the left hand should face the target. That’s not good for you. The heel of the hand should be leading. I’ve done videos on grip on my channel czcams.com/video/plf1_p-Fqa4/video.htmlsi=o-SC04lpHVz2wHjo.
2. Ensure your lower body is working and that you’re pushing your left hip back through impact. If the lower body stalls you will flip. This is my favourite drill for this. czcams.com/video/EPk139JJD4w/video.htmlsi=Xw_hm0SsQPWmVLdL
3. Lastly practice impact. Rehearse impact by hold it get a feel of what impact should be them chip a ball learn the sensations, I’ve done a video on this as well. czcams.com/video/sLOUR2OhOhE/video.htmlsi=XF0I7Vnp9-mP-Elq
I wish you well and I hope the above helps. Also check out my coach and Mentors channel Malaska Golf lots of great info on there 👍

@@mattbakergolf - Thank you so much for the advice. It has been a real uphill battle with so many people giving me "old" advice that I know already but just doesn't work when your body has broken down. This was the first of your videos I had ever seen and I subscribed instantly because your method seems so instinctive.
I'll definitely be watching all the recommended videos (I had already watched video number 3) and trying this over the next few weeks. I also like the advice because I can feel like the shoulders are eliminated from the swing. Doc has told me it will take over a year to gain full motion in the shoulder but your method might help in not having to worry about that.
Will let you know the progress as I start the long journey back to hitting it properly.

[@Maruman_man]

But how are you getting the clubhead speed if you are talking about hitting?

[@mattbakergolf]

You gain speed from both a free arm swing and the hinging and unhinging of the wrists. I’ve done videos on this. We call it L to L 👍 thanks for the comment.
