This is just a drill to work on loosening up your wrists and to help eliminate a chicken wing. There are times that we have to work on specific body parts or moves that might not look like the real golf swing, but this is a drill not reality. Drills are different from the golf swing in that they over exaggerate the move or position. First you need to figure out if you have tight wrists or a chicken wing. If yes to either of these things, then you need to be doing the vertical to vertical drill nightly. Then work on the 1 piece takeaway into the future.
Paul can you explain how this prevents chicken wing. Also how this drill relates to the full swing. For years I thought the swing was more towards the rear, but am learning ( from this drill) that it is more vertical an that is what we should be doing. Please confirm this for me. Also appears that the wrist hinge is more vertical than what shows in another drill for wrist loosening– the one that you use to hook the ball first I got it trouble with that drill on the course and pull hooked everything, especially the driver.
can you give thoughts on this trouble I had and have.
Paul I hope this isn’t a stupid question but….when the shaft gets to vertical do we want the butt end of the shaft angled at the ball or just inside of it ? Thanks
