▷▷▷At Last, the Secret to Dead on Ball Striking in Your Golf Swing - You Will Love This
Ok, here we go! Some time ago I wrote on how important it was to pay close attention to the position of the wrists in your golf swing.
Golf swing instruction seldom will spend much time or effort in this area of your swing, I don't understand that but that seems to be the way it is.
In a nut shell, I have suggested rather strongly that the left wrist position must be at least flat at the top of your backswing, and not cupped. This will put your right wrist in it's proper position which is bent back or trayed. You know, like you were carrying a tray of dirty dishes up over your shoulder.
The reason for this is that it is one of the power source as it creates a very powerful angle. Angles are leverage and leverage is power. So creating this angle at the top of your swing is an excellent power source as long as you don't allow the angles to dissipate too early in the downswing.
The feedback that I get often is that some folks just could not hold the angles long enough and suffered from what you could call an " early release " this destroys the angle and you end up with a serious power drain.
So with that in mind, I thought that perhaps some re-thinking on the wrist positions at the top might provide an opportunity to find a way to maintain these angles that could be incorporated in golf swing instruction.
That a slight change in the position at the top of the swing in the left wrist would work, provided we added a slight move to start the downswing.
And so I discovered a couple of old pictures of Ben Hogan at the point of his move down from the top.
His left wrist was cupped. Ureka! That is dead wrong, I thought. But, but of course, that couldn't be because we all now that Hogan was one of the best strikers of the golf ball that ever lived.
Looking at Ben Hogan's wrist position at impact, however, proved that he did, indeed, maintain great angles because his left wrist at this crucial point was not cupped, it was bowed out toward the target and therefore in the exact position that it should have been at the top.
So he had changed the left wrist position on the downswing. From a cupped to a flat position.
All he did was turn his left wrist to the flat position as he started the downswing. This, is a great move. Here is what happens.
As he bumps his left hip laterally to start the downswing, at the same time he turns his left wrist flat. This forces the club to sort of lay off, it also puts his right wrist in the trayed position and at the same time it moves his right elbow toward his right hip.
This move happens BEFORE his hands and arms take an active downward move.
All of these are absolutely perfect positions to be in and they all happened because of one tiny little move with the flattening of the left wrist.
There is also, on the downswing, a turning of the left elbow toward the left hip. But this is not something that I think you should try to do, it just happens if the left wrist is in the flat or bowed position.
The movement of the left wrist if subtle, I almost couldn't even see it. But, rest assured, that is exactly what Ben Hogan was doing.
I took it to the range. The results were unbelievable. And I really didn't have much trouble doing it. The problem I had is that I have been working on keeping the left wrist flat on the backswing for so long that it was hard to keep it cupped at the top in order to create the need to make this move.
What I did learn is that making this little move, even if my left wrist was flat at the top, provide a decidedly increase in the POP at the impact position and it changed the trajectory of my shots into a lower to rising shot. That I liked a lot.
So give it a try. If you find it hard to get the left wrist in the flat position at the top, this move is made for you.
For the rest, it may well provide you with that one thing your missing, creating and maintaining great angles and hence great leverage that creates unbelievable power in you golf swing.
