Within our clinic, we spot 1 swing error that occurs over, and over, and over again.
It is the left wrist break down or rather "cupping" the left wrist at the impact position.
The accurate placement at address is for your left wrist to become perfectly flat as well as directly facing your target and your right wrist being "cupped," or angled.
It drastically raises the odds that you may make crisp and dependable connection with the ball.
On the other hand, left wrist collapse or flipping the club creates weak contact and a losing of distance.
Most players "flip" with their wrists with an attempt to aid the golf ball into the air.
Yet the game of golf is a game of opposites.
As a consequence if you desire the golf ball to ascend, you have to hit descendingly on the ball.
Always keeping a flat left wrist allows for a descending impact through the golf ball.
Furthermore.
research has illustrated that possessing a flat left wrist leads to a speedier swing velocity.
Once the golfer flicks his or her wrist at the golf ball the left arm is inclined to slow down in order to allow the wrists to pivot with the result that the clubface transfers in front of the hands.
Not only does this cause poor contact, but a slower moving club through the impact position and lost distance.
A large number of golf players that I evaluate more than the age of FIFTY have this particular problem.
You are able to tell by the results of your golf swing if your wrists are really hinging through impact.
Commonly, should anyone suffer from this particular breakdown their ball contact is poor and they do not take a proper divot RIGHT AFTER hitting the golf ball.
This particular type of golfer thins the ball a lot and frequently takes a divot BEFORE hitting the ball, called a fat golf shot.

a punch shot.

My preference: The Smash Bag.
The Smash Bag is the same thing as the Impact Bag but is decidedly cheaper.
Here is how you can work with the Smash Bag in order to strengthen your impact position.
Pack bag with the use of bath towels...
not overly tight.

Give the Smash Bag a good smash! Check so as to be sure that at the impact position:.
You smack the bag flush with the face of the golf club Your left wrist is flat and your right wrist is cupped, or arched.
My final piece of guidance concerning making use of the Smash Bag is to NOT over do it.
Padraig Harrington got carried away with the use of the Impact Bag a few years past and turned out getting to sit out a number of matches thanks to a wrist injury.
There are several other training aids to make use of in order to improve your impact position.
Right now there is a tac-tic trainer which I have used and works moderately well but I definitely prefer the Smash Bag (PS.
In case you do not choose to invest the dollars, you could fill a nylon bag full of cloth towels and it will certainly perform OK).
