Malaska Golf // How Your Hands Work During Follow Through

How your hands work through impact and follow through is essential to controlling where you want the ball to go. I see a lot of people twisting their wrists or trying to turn the toe of the golf club.

Once you have an idea for how your hands and wrists work through the ball, you'll have more consistent ball striking.

This is the best video ever for the right hand follow through. Finally, I understand.

Utterly crystal clear, an absolute relief to watch an intuitive description of this part of the swing. Thank you, Mr. M.

Malaska’s description of the release is pure GOLD. These vids are gems.

This video (and the one where you're helping a student) just changed my swing! I've been a "flipper" for 20+yrs. This year I tried desperately to learn to roll my wrists and made it worse. I saw this video last week and decided to try it on the range yesterday - bingo!! Everything I hit was solid, straight, and high! Even my 5 and 6 irons, which were always suspect, were going long and straight! It's hard to describe how solid everything felt. No more aching hands/wrists, tendonitis in forearms, etc. I'm finally getting that zip/click sound with my irons. Thanks, Mike! Great lesson.

This video has changed my entire golf game. I have been struggling with holding off the club and not releasing it, I tried th forearm rotation method but it was a disaster so I went back to holding my wrists off but just couldn't get my club face square at impact to save my life. Since watching this video I have been throwing darts at greens with my irons. My GIR has gone from 40% to almost 70%.

I’m 53 years old today. In my late teens and early 20’s I never came in contact with anyone who could strike their irons like me. And like you Mike I started experimenting and listening to others about the swing. Man, what a mistake that was. I truly screwed up what should have been the best years of my life chasing some kind of perfection, when I was so far ahead of the people I was listening too. I’ve watched about 3 of your videos recently and I think your thoughts on the swing are virtually identical to mine. Thank you for making your videos. You feel like a “brother from a different mother”.

The club face at 90 degree angle to swing arc is 🤯 So good! Thanks.

[lukenichols]

The open club face, forearm rotation, flip is what I subscribed to for a while but I’m tired of inconsistency and am working hard to retrain my body with your movement patterns in mind...long process but Im glad I found your channel Mike

[wesleyhilde]

He is so right here! He is the best coach out there at the moment!

[johnmclaughlin]

Best description for how to not get stuck! Thanks for the content!

I stopped trying to hold lag angles and create artificially extreme bowed forward left wrist, driving the right elbow in front of the hip, etc., and focused on Mike’s “Malaska Move” of bringing the hands down to the right corner and simply redirecting the club and running it into the back of the ball. It took me awhile to understand the move but I think I finally got it. I felt comfortable putting it into play. I was concerned that his swing would exaggerate my flip hook but frankly it seemed to reduce it. But my favorite thing about it that I haven’t heard him say much is that the swing is easier on the body than trying to keep hands passive and firing the hips to square the club and compress the ball. I feel like I could hit balls or play all day this way. I’m an 11 index and hope to be going lower as I get even more comfortable swinging this way. I watched the YouTube channel but also subscribed to the website for awhile. Well worth the time.

Great video. It’s something, even with lessons, I was never told. To get rid of my weak fade all I was told was to strengthen my grip and close my stance. I was getting no speed and still slicing. Trying to hit down on the ball and keep the club face square. Which made me hold it off (best way I can describe it).As soon as I started really releasing my hands through impact and follow through it completely changed my ball flight. No slice and considerably more distance. More freeing natural swing too.

[thomasfraser]

Thank you Mike! You are 100 percent correct. Push the club head through the ball with the power of Ben Hogan's three right hands. By doing this you also are equally pulling the club head through the ball with the power of three left hands. For every conscious action of pushing with the right hand we unknowingly are equally pulling with the lead hand or visa versa. It is impossible for the right hand to overtake the left hand. I now swing down through and up to the finish of my swing with the power of 6 hands and you should to. Cheer!

[MrLeftyno]

Great video and a game changer, coupled with not rolling but hinging my wrists in the back swing, plus this release, good byr Mr Hook.

[madisonmasontv]

I was taught the same stuff, turn the hands over. Watch the hands turn over. The timing and variables of that swing drove me nuts! I remember Mike Austin at the range telling me to throw the club and I rebelled because I knew I had to flip those hands. But you guys are so right. And when I execute, it's a beautiful thing. So glad I found you.

[hatman]

Mike. Love your videos and wish I had watched your videos years ago. I have always always struggled with what the hands do and your explanations are brilliant. Thank you

[decentblue]

It's very difficult to understand first, then eventually you will know this is a comprehensive explanation of how to release the club face. Thank you, Mr.M .

[franksampson]

Great advice. This is the guy that I want to take lessons from.

[giveupgoogleno]

Wow. Just wow. What a great way to explain it. I kept thinking of it as a backhand with top spin in tennis and this video validates it

[olleedsbacker]

I do like your videos. Finally I am convinced that this is a good way to play and avoiding back injuries. A comment about your frequent talk about “coming in to the hitting area with a wide open face, forcing the player to twist the forearms”, I don’t thing anyone teaches this these days. Thank you for a lot of good materials.
