I get asked a lot, Milo how do I bow my left wrist like the PGA Tour pros? My answer is always that it may not be the best matchup. Players like Collin Morikawa and Jon Rahm have unique grips that allow them to achieve that bowed position at the top of the backswing. When we start talking about wrist conditions, we need to first look at the grip and how our hands are aligned and holding the golf club. In this video, Henry and I discuss why we see bowing and flexing of the lead wrist in the golf swing. Hope you enjoy!

In town for my lessons with Milo. Can’t wait to see what he has for me. All these videos are extremely well done. The team does a great job explaining the lessons in easy and for me understandable language and examples.
He’s definitely gonna have his hands full.
I really like how you dissected the right hand grip and its importance in the matchup. I think that is something that is often overlooked, generally all the fuzz would be about your left hand being bowed or cupped.
Essentially the left hand wrist position is a product of what the right hand is doing. Good stuff as always!
Milo has an amazing swing! 👏
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 4 sentadillas son unos QUINZAA.Monster muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesm abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k
ফেলিসিডেস, এটি মিনাংকাবাউ উদাহরণ। 250 sentadillas son unos QUINZAA.Monster muchas y un buen ejercicio. 5:25 Dadi dejaw ver que hay muy buenos ফলাফল 😍👍
I'm working on swallowing my swing now, but instead of your backswing being steep then bowing your leading wrist at the top of your swing, why not just swing on your backswing straight to that position? To me it seems like there would be one less move to think about…especially if it's an unnatural move for someone.
Never heard a distinction between wrist action at top of swing (determined by the trail wrist) and at impact (by the left wrist)! For years, I tried to get into a Hogan-like impact position of the lead hand (bowed) and it never worked–I would even get a 'stinger' type feel in my lead arm at impact! Never understood it till now–thanks for clearing that up!
Hey Milo I have a question:
I know that shallowing and bowing the wrist is the right matchup but isn't cupping or bowing irrelevant because shallowing happens through forearm rotation and has nothing to do with the wrist?
Thanks!
I think that it was Jack Nicklaus's swing coach that said all very good golfers have a relationship feel between the back of the lead hand and the face of the club. Video idea. Is this true?
Finally it makes sense. I’ve always had a strong grip and bowing it like DJ or Collin just never worked or made sense to me. It didn’t feel comfortable and would also make the face way shut.
Love this discussion. Lots of other channels say “do this” without telling you fully why or what the consequences of having differing grips will have on the shot. Learned a lot! It definitely explains why my stronger grip doesn’t love a lot of left wrist bend. A little goes a long way.
Damn wonder if they did this vid yesterday. It was like 100 in chandler yesterday. Have to wonder what the temperature in Apache junction was seeing they wearing coats
My grip is neutral left strong right. If I take the club back naturally, I end up with a cup at the top. But if in the first few feet I "feel" like my left palm faces the sky, I end up flat or bowed at the top. Not sure which approach I should use, any thoughts?
