Russ – can you do a video on forearm rotation? – best practices with it, better impact, more yards, etc
This also stops you rolling your wrist open and tugging your club inside before you’ve even started turning. My issue!!!
I feel like an idiot. I have seen pete Cowen talk about this multiple times and had really been trying to implement it into my swing. However, I have been "wringing the towel" in an inward rotation, and it's turned my draw into a push fade and my hands into an aching mess😂
Great video, im halfway there! as years ago watched a lydia ko video(not on grip!) to see how a little girl gould hit it so well.Noticed she literally wrapped her hands around the grip,hard to describe but imagine linking hands together palm up then wrapping them round the grip like squeezing a towel! helped get me down to 5hcp at 63, hoping this video will get me lower!
After watching this video I've been out in the garden hitting practice balls with this method. Have not had a single bad contact in three sessions. And I'm normally about 50% good contacts at best. Maybe I'm just having a good day, but I doubt it. Thanks Russ, and Pete of course.
Sorry to "steal your thunder" in my comments a few days ago. Still, "wringing out the towel" is one of the best tips ever.
Watched Cowan talk about wringing the towel years ago and gave it a go multiple times. After the honeymoon period wears off, it just adds another variable to contend with, such as which hand is the dominant hand therefore it applies more pressure, which throws things off balance, which creates more inconsistency……..on and on…….doesnt work in the long run…..which is why I think we dont see any major success from his pro students…..
I swing as hard as I can to hit my 7 iron 150 yards, but mostly only goes 130 on a good strike, 120 fat.
Then I'm blocked by the trees, gotta hit it low, just 100, to get a good angle for my wedge into the green. So I take a 1/4 swing with my 7 iron, no effort, clean strike, easy, it goes 120 into the hedge down the road!!!
What is going on?
Good stuff but the grip is not Cowen's original idea – American teachers Harry Obitz and Dick Farley taught this 'towel ringing' grip concept in their book 'Six days to better golf' many years ago .
Guys..Cowan makes it up as he goes along…next year will be something else.

I'm a RH golfer. What should I be doing with my left thumb? It's hard to relax it when it's snug into my right palm. I feel myself pressing my left thumb against the grip, maybe a little too much. Solution?
"You're" doing it wrong.
