Tips To Improve Your Golf Swing: Rotating Your Hands Through The Ball At The Point Of Impact
The main focus of today's lesson is to make sure you are in the perfect position at the point of impact. The angle of the club head will determine the outcome of your shot whether that is hitting it straight, slicing it, hooking, etc. Now grab one of your irons and perform your regular swing. What we want to look for is the position of your hands and forearms at the point of impact.
While you are swinging try to keep your wrists straight and locked. Do not let them bend to the left or right at impact, this is known as a "wrist break" and it will have a bad effect on your golf shot. What we want to do is "flip" the hands through the ball at impact. The exercise that I have below will help you learn this simple technique...
The Wrist Watch Exercise
Ok, the easiest way for us to learn the proper form is if we can see the correct moves to make. This can be done easily with a simple wrist watch. So, go grab one...
Now that you have your watch let's get started. The face of the watch should be pointing toward your target, this will probably be the green, as your leading arm approaches impact. Now when you come to the impact position, TURN YOUR HANDS OVER so the watch face is pointing towards the ground. This move forces your trailing wrist and forearm to "flip" on top of your leading wrist and forearm. Practice this technique several times so that it becomes a completely natural movement within your golf swing.
Mastering the technique of rotating your wrists through the ball at impact forces your club face to stay closed and will significantly reduce your slice and improve your distance. Those two things will definitely help anyone's golf game.
When implementing this tip, it's important to note that your forearms should be working together. Keep your forearms as close to each other as possible through the impact zone. Once you master this technique you will be well on your way to longer, straighter shots, and a lower golf score
