The Importance Of Hand And Wrist Movements In Golf
The following drill can assist you in gaining a working knowledge of how your wrists, hands, and forearms should function. You can put into action these drills on a practice tee or even at home.
This drill needs some creativity, maybe even a little reorganization of the living room. You will need a guidepost. If you are at home, you can use a table, couch, or chair. If you are at a golf course or practice facility, you can make use of a golf cart. Essentially, you need something that has a straight edge at least the length of a golf club, roughly the height of your waist.
You can employ the golf cart to practice this drill. For right handed players, stand outside the cart on the driver side, with the outside of their right leg about three inches from the cart. For left handed players, stand on the passenger side, with their left leg about three inches from the cart. The same positioning applies if you are using a table, couch, chair, or other object.
Holding a seven iron, get into the correct posture, tilting at the waist and slightly unlocking your knees. Set up so that when you grip the club, your hands are even with or a couple of inches behind the edge of the cart, table, couch, or chair. It is vital that throughout this drill you keep your hands in line with your belt buckle.
Even though your wrists and forearms rotate, your upper arms and shoulders should remain stationary. The first phase of the drill reveals what represents a proper wrist cock. Keeping the hands in front of the belt buckle, and the toe end of the club pointed away from you, slowly raise the club head toward your nose. Observe that the wrists work like hinges, allowing you to raise and lower the club using only the hands, wrists, and lower arms. Raise and lower the club as many times as it takes to get a feel for cocking and letting go of your wrists.
Finally, you should be able to draw an imaginary line from the back of your left hand over the top of the ball, perpendicular to the ground. The toe end of the club should point straight up toward the sky. The club shaft should be in line with your feet, hips, knees, and target line.
If you play left handed, here are the pointers to watch for: As you draw the club back, keeping your hands in line with your belt buckle, your forearms should rotate to the left while your wrists cock up. The back of your right hand and the clubface need to match, pointing away from the body. The toe end of the club should point straight up toward the sky.
All the best in your golf drills!
