The device I’m using in today’s video to measure and analyze my wrist/arm rotation is from HackMotion. You can pick one up here: https://tinyurl.com/mr289j5j

In today’s lesson you’ll learn how to keep your club on plane by understanding forearm rotation. You’ll also eliminate one of the most common forearm rotation mistakes that leads many amateurs to come over the top.

Next I’ll show you the drill that Jon Rahm practiced when he was coming up as a young golfer that taught him how to stay on plane and use his lower body correctly.

Today’s lesson is an epiphany I’ve had lately that I’ve been using to get great results in my private student lessons.

  1. Amazing Video! that basically covers most of my struggles.. I can literally see my trail elbow getting "stuck" behind me in transition. I've been able to get that feel of shallowing this year but I can't seem to get the right takeaway move so I'll try this as It looks very simple compared to my super handsy one. Thanks!

  2. Great video as always – would be really useful to see how the forearm rotation works on the downswing through impact

  3. At the beginning, you mentioned on the backswing we should make a steering wheel “right turn“ with the forearms and and a “left turn“ on the downswing, but it almost seems the opposite since on the downswing your right arm goes below, the left, which is more of a right turn motion.
    Or am I missing something?

  4. Very good video. Thank you. 4:01 "The golden piece. I start to very quickly switch my forearms and continue that into transition" Never seen this covered in the hundreds of youtube golf lesson videos I have watched. Lessons tend to focus on hands by right thigh and then shaft plane half way back and then to the top and the rest. Never how quickly the forearms switch. I'm always scared to do that lest I come too much inside. Have more confidence that I can do this quickly now. Zach, anything I have to guard against plane wise after one piece to thigh? Should it fall into place or can it still get too flat?
