Struggling with inconsistency off the tee? Your wrists might be the problem. Think of them as the steering wheel of your swing—get them right, and you’ll hit it longer, straighter, and more consistently.
🔑 Two Key Wrist Positions to Master
1️⃣ Takeaway Position
- Avoid an open clubface (toe up + cupped left wrist = slice).
- Avoid a closed clubface (club pointing down + bowed wrist = hook).
- Instead, aim for a flat left wrist, with the club matching your spine angle.
💡 Drill: Feel like your core starts the swing, not your hands. Hook your right hand under your left and rotate your body. This keeps the wrists stable and the club in the right position.
2️⃣ Top of the Backswing
- A cupped left wrist = open face, causing inconsistency.
- A super-bowed wrist = closed face, requiring extreme body rotation.
- The sweet spot? A flat left wrist.
💡 Easy Fix: Feel like the logo on your glove points slightly toward the sky at the top of your swing. It keeps your clubface neutral and your shots more predictable.
🔥 Bonus: Grip Check
A bad grip ruins everything.
✔️ Hold the club in your fingers, not your palm.
✔️ See 2.5 knuckles on your left hand.
✔️ The crease between your thumb and forefinger should point toward your right shoulder.
🚀 Results? More Distance, More Fairways!
Get these wrist positions right, and you’ll gain 15-20 yards while keeping your shots in play. Keep refining, and those extra yards will keep stacking up!
