New video please on this topic— In his book “Understanding the Golf Swing,” teacher Manuel de la Torre writes that “wrist action will be an involuntary reaction to the coiling action (backswing) and uncoiling action (forward swing) of the club.” Tight wrist and forearm muscles make it difficult for the wrists to hinge properly; by keeping the wrists relaxed during the swing, they can move freely and allow the club to swing as fast as possible.
I have plenty of videos on this topic, you need to keep your wrists loose to generate a whipping action with the golf club. Most of the golfers I see have their wrists too tight. But just trying to loosen them is too tough for most golfers, so sometimes you need to help this along by manually loosening up your wrists with my roll over drill. Check out this tip:
When you hinge at the top of the swing with loose wrists how do you keep lag in the downswing? Do you lock the wrists until you reach the thigh when you release the club ? Will you not lose à LOT of lag with loose wrists and arms in the downswing?
This drill taught me powerless arms! I took a divot with a 6 iron today- from the tee box with the ball teed up at the normal height for a iron shot from the tee box on a par 3.
I did a powerless arms shot across a pond onto to the green within 10 inches to the pin!
