One of the biggest mistakes in the golf swing is flipping the wrists at impact (right image ❌). This leads to weak shots, inconsistent strikes, and loss of power. Instead, focus on proper shaft lean and ball-first contact (left image ✅) to compress the ball and get that crisp, solid strike!
✅ Key Fixes:
- Start with Your Shoulders, Not Your Hands – Initiating the swing with your hands can cause the club to get too far inside, leading to an inconsistent path. Instead, engage your shoulders to start the takeaway for a more controlled motion.
- Use the ‘Railroad Tracks’ Visualization – Imagine your hands following an inside rail and the clubhead following an outside rail. This keeps the club on plane and prevents early wrist rolling, which can lead to poor impact.
- Rehearse the Motion – Practice slow, controlled takeaways to ingrain proper movement patterns and develop muscle memory for a more consistent swing.
🔥 Pro Tip: At impact, your hands should be ahead of the ball, and your weight should have shifted forward—this ensures solid ball-first contact instead of scooping.
