Left Wrist - Target!


What does the left hand tell us about the club face? Think about it for a second.... If your club face is square to your target and you have a decent left hand grip, shouldn't the club face be square at impact if your the back of your left hand faces the target? Look at Hunter Mahan's left hand in the picture. It is facing the target perfectly.

I like to have students think about returning their left hand the best they can to the address position. More specifically, I would love it if the student could get their wrist as flat as Hunter does in the picture.

To further illustrate my point look at the picture to the right and see how this golfer at impact on the left has the back of his left wrist facing the target and on the right look what happens when that wrist is going to the right. Where is the club face going? Slice city my friends. Work on getting that left wrist pointing at your target at impact to hit more solid straight shots.
