How to Eliminate the Flip Roll with Unhinging Technique
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Understand the importance of unhinging for better impact alignment
- Identify how rehinging affects your shot direction and follow-through
- Implement techniques to maintain unhinged positions for improved ball flight
Learn how unhinging your wrists can help you avoid the common flip roll at impact, leading to more consistent shots. This video explains the mechanics behind the unhinging motion and its impact on your swing path.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.680
Australia is unhinged to solve your flip role. So if you are tending to look
2
00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:07.680
more
3
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:11.600
like this at impact and you've been told that you you know flip the club over
4
00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:11.920
or
5
00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:17.120
you roll those forearms too much, I've got news for you, yes that might be
6
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.960
happening you may feel it but that's not what's causing that look. The thing
7
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.480
that's causing that look is going to be this lack of unhinged. And so
8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:30.960
basically what's happening is down through impact, all right if we set up
9
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:38.540
here, I get to a place right along like this and then as I will unhinge but
10
00:00:38.540 --> 00:00:38.560
then
11
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:44.200
very close to when I reach impact I will start rehinging very quickly. So
12
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.600
basically I'm unhinging and then rehinging quickly. And that rehinging
13
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:55.640
through impact, like so, tends to close the club face or make it more point to
14
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.960
the left. The problem is it's usually accompanied by this trail shoulder
15
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:05.080
working more into internal rotation and so it tends to get create this very
16
00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:10.400
narrow look in the follow through like this and people will be told well I flip
17
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:18.160
the club. Well if I unhinged then it would kind of look more like that and now
18
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:27.160
if I kept my body rotating it no longer looks like that that flip roll. So the
19
00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:32.760
the piece of the release that I found is the easiest to change that look on
20
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.880
video ultimately shallow out the contact and help eliminate the big left shot
21
00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:44.600
would be making sure that the club stays unhinged longer into the follow
22
00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:50.040
through. If you do that what will tend to happen is you will hit shots way off
23
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:56.320
to the right until you learn how to let the forearms rotate to help rotate the
24
00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:01.040
face to the shaft as a method of closing the face instead of using more of
25
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.440
changing the whole path to close the face. So from the down the line it won't
26
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:12.880
look quite as dramatic but what you'll tend to see is that through the ball you
27
00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:19.240
can see the rehinged there as opposed to what we would want to see would be a
28
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:24.020
little bit more of that unhinged all the way through until the end of the
29
00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:24.560
release.
30
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.280
The other piece that you can look at is the orientation of my upper body. If my
31
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.800
upper body is staying pointed straight down at the ground then my hands are
32
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.720
going to have to pass my body much quicker than if I have continued rotation
33
00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:47.480
and side bend it will be much easier for my hands to elevate or move up the
34
00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:52.510
plane without having to break down the wrist. So that will tend to give the
35
00:02:52.510 --> 00:02:52.800
look
36
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:58.600
on video of a little bit more extension where if I stay flexed forward to get
37
00:02:58.600 --> 00:02:58.720
to
38
00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:01.720
that same point you'll see that the weight of the club will naturally cause
39
00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:08.400
my arms to want to rehinge. So if you have the look of more of this narrow
40
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.280
flip it's what I would say is that it's usually this lack of unhinged late and
41
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.080
lack of that body proper pivot through the ball that's actually causing the
42
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.240
look not so much that you're rolling the forms. In fact in most cases you
43
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.480
actually have to feel like you roll the forms more to get from that position to
44
00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:32.880
that position.

24
00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:01.040
face to the shaft as a method of closing the face instead of using more of
25
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.440
changing the whole path to close the face. So from the down the line it won't
26
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:12.880
look quite as dramatic but what you'll tend to see is that through the ball you
27
00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:19.240
can see the rehinged there as opposed to what we would want to see would be a
28
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:24.020
little bit more of that unhinged all the way through until the end of the
29
00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:24.560
release.
30
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.280
The other piece that you can look at is the orientation of my upper body. If my
31
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.800
upper body is staying pointed straight down at the ground then my hands are
32
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.720
going to have to pass my body much quicker than if I have continued rotation
33
00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:47.480
and side bend it will be much easier for my hands to elevate or move up the
34
00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:52.510
plane without having to break down the wrist. So that will tend to give the
35
00:02:52.510 --> 00:02:52.800
look
36
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:58.600
on video of a little bit more extension where if I stay flexed forward to get
37
00:02:58.600 --> 00:02:58.720
to
38
00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:01.720
that same point you'll see that the weight of the club will naturally cause
39
00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:08.400
my arms to want to rehinge. So if you have the look of more of this narrow
40
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.280
flip it's what I would say is that it's usually this lack of unhinged late and
41
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.080
lack of that body proper pivot through the ball that's actually causing the
42
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.240
look not so much that you're rolling the forms. In fact in most cases you
43
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.480
actually have to feel like you roll the forms more to get from that position to
44
00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:32.880
that position.
