This is an excellent drill ,Jeremy,I’ll take to it,with both sides working.
I have a similar one whcih I practice frequently with rubber bands (The ULTIMATE SWING TRAINER bands of MIKE BAUMANN ,but yours are also fine).The upper end of the bands (I put three in parallel) is squeezed at the top of a door ,I hold the handles in both hands to start with (This exercise requires quite some strength) ,then I let go of the right hand to leave only the left hand on the handles and I pull down .This exercises also the left triceps.
To strengthen the wrists what exercses do you propose ?
I use light dumbell weights and flip them over .
For the fingers I use a spring device or a rubber grip you have to squeeze .
I know Paul doesn’t like the idea ,but using your wrists to “flick” the handle at the end of the downswing gives more velocity to he clubhead :it’s like “cracking ” a whip .
The following question is for PAUL WILSON .
Is there a proper way to load the wrists going up and unloading them going down ?
You showed a video some time ago where the lag of SERGIO GARCIA (And maybe JAMIE SADOWSKI ,not quite sure) was demonstrated .
I find that by keeping the wrists utterly loose, to the point the club seems to fall out of my hands ,is when I make my best drives .
I think I have sent you the tip below before. It is loose wrists secure grip. Just keep doing the tee drill. This will secure your hands on the club while working on hinging to your maximum in the wrists. You are only going to be able to hinge to the amount the bones in your wrists allow.
I laughed at myself when I played that back too. Who say’s that?!?! I think the next video you’ll get from me is ‘very golfy’ as well. Hope you enjoy it. #blooperreel

Secure Grip Loose Wrists: https://ignitiongolf.com/secure-grip-loose-wrists/

You really want lag put the tee in your grip and do this drill for about a month:
DRILL: Lag Ear to Ear: https://ignitiongolf.com/lag-release-drill
Plus, you can use the Ultimate Swing Trainer.
This takes time and effort.
