In this series I will be talking about common reasons as to why a majority of golfers hit the top of the golf ball and ways you can prevent this from happening. If you are a golfer that struggles with this issue then give this a watch and comment on what you think!

Thanks, Jonathan, for a great instructional video. You have helped me enormously improve my game.
Good video
Excellent stuff. Finally, a true "teacher"!
Nice example of how the wrists work at this point. Quick question. Because the hands are a bit lower at address. By the time they are at 8 o'clock then 9 o'clock should they be more like they were at address in some radial deviation or more unlar deviation like they are past impact as you describe here. Not sure what to do. With the the wrist angle in the takeaway. Pls help.
Are my hands like this at impact with driver to?
Wow I have had t-rex short arm problem forever. Thin shots. Will work on this. Thanks
my THIN is clubhead still decending with divot 4-6" past the ball…swing is in CHAOS right now…argh!!!!
Will try to incorporate this for my irons,5wd and hybrid. Thanks!
Excellent instruction yet again 🎉
Would this be identified if you always take a practice swings without a ball and never hit the ground?
Yep, I have thought about how "vertical" my club was at impact, so this is great. This is the first video I've ever seen address this like you have
Would raising the handle at address to the impact position make the downswing simpler..
Just as swinging on the same plane does… Thanks for the brilliant videos… Helped me drop from 32 to 25.
Thanks!
Where do you teach is at Moss Beach off of Highway one
I hit great shots some of the time but miss it too often usually fat or thin. More often fat than thin. I made some adjustments to better de-loft the club and it’s closer to mixed on fat/thin. I usually break 90 but have too many chunks or thin shots to break 80. Had 84 recently which is close to my best
Probably the best golf coach on YouTube.
Thanks for all the great videos. Any chance you will have any short game instruction? Weakest part of my game.

Thanks JKM! My play definitely has improved with your instruction. Losing the arm wrestling match always comes to mind. Some ulnar deviation with the irons, handle slightly higher @ impact than @ address, got it. Question: Could some radial deviation be beneficial with a ball teed up pretty high for a driver?
Wow! I am a thinner and this is eye opening. I have been purposely trying to maintain as much radial deviation and right side bend thru impact as possible with the mission being to minimize club head rate of closure. This may explain my consistently thin contact. So my question would be, would increasing ulnar deviation thru impact introduce more face rotation and the need for increased timing in the swing or would that not be of concern? Thanks for your help.
I am having a problem moving my right shoulder back can you let me know what I can do to help this TonyG
Great video – I had a lesson recently where I was told I had too much wrist set and that chasing lag was terrible for strike
I think you may have solved one of the many problems I have with the golf swing. I have arthritis in my spine( I am well into my eighties,handicap from 18 now 44)so have been trying different swings. A shorter swing is now easier but found after hitting the ball (not chicken wing) I have been pulling the club in towards my body with slight bend in lead arm. So will try your drill and perhaps be able to score my age. Wishfull thinking
This is exactly my problem. All the way through. Thanks! 😎
I recently watched a video on this subject and one of the causes is not getting deep enough in the backswing, which is caused by not getting the trail hip deep enough. This results in a steep swing instead of a rounded one.
Jonathan where in Canada are you? And do you do private lessons
Would love to see you do a chipping video based around this concept. A lot of us struggle with thinning the ball on short game shots.
Fingers crossed this will sort my thin shot out thankyou for the lesson
to the point, excellent presentation
This lesson is amazing! This explains so much of my issue with my irons!
I’m hitting a lot of thin shots so that makes sense. What if I start out at address with wrists already extended?
the feeling of pressing thumbs down with handle higher than clubbed is a good visual.
Travino mentioned this, but with chipping. He was recorded in one of his clinics and was put on YouTube
Does the ulnar deviation at impact apply to all the clubs?
the right video at the right time for me. thanks Jon.
