    I feel like I can get more hinge by cupping my wrist at the top of my backswing. I try to keep my wrist flat though. Which should I do?

      There should be a slight cupping of the lead wrist at the top of the backswing. If you took your setup position, hinged the golf club up in front of you like you’re trying to hit your nose then this would be the correct cupping position of the lead wrist. Trying to keep it flat will manipulate the face angle and yes, it could restrict your hinge angle. Check these out:

    Thank you. This question has been bugging me for years. My game keeps improving. Shot in the 70’s 3 times this year. Shot 75 one under my age a month ago. Since starting with your video instructions my index has dropped from 22 to currently 13.4. I get many compliments on my swing. All thanks to you Paul!

    I worked on this and then played golf…and it definitely adds more zip into the swing!

      For sure! Just do incorporate this drill for a couple weeks and you will achieve your maximum hinge angle.
