 Uploading ....So, you need to focus on keeping the club square to the target as long as possible during the swing.
It's this cupped position that you need to correct, if you do not have a cupped wrist at the top of your backswing, quit reading right now and go out and break 80.If you do, though, read carefully.
So, put your left on the the club so the " V" formed between your thumb and your index finger points to your right shoulder.This might feel a little bit awkward at first. That means that your " V" on your right hand also points to your right shoulder when you put it on the club.Again, this will feel strange. If you get this grip right, and you better make sure it's near perfect. Then and only then should you proceed to the next move. Practice, practice, practice. Make it so it becomes natural and check it every single time... I can now talk about the keading wrist and it's importance at the top of the backswing. There's a very basic idea behind it. Here is a list of how to do it:
1. It's actually really not very hard. Jokes aside, focus. Don't think about the other parts of the swing, just your leading wrist. Think now of the little finger and the ring finger of your left hand. Just firmly grip the club with these two fingers and rotate the fingers and the clubs handle toward the inside of your left forearm.
You're not going to be moving it very far. Don't move your arms or your body or anything... just the two fingers rotating. What position is it in; is it open, square or closed? If you said closed congrats you did it.
Your leading wrist will be straight, your trailing wrist will be bent back toward it's corresponding forearm, and the club should be making approxamitely a 45 degree anglew with the ground. If it isn't (it will be) fix it, or probably just start over.
You'll still have to do everything else, don't get me wrong. You might notice your swing has shortened a little. A shorter backswing is good for your game, so don't stress.
Apply this idea to an already technically sound swing, and you're set.
