Re: Leading Wrist At Impact

Sorry, 1Iron, if you're really scooping the ball, then your problem is likely linked to your wrist action through the ball with your left wrist collapsing/folding. This often results from a lack of proper rotation through the ball.

A good way to understand this is to take a swing but don't let the body rotate on the downswing. Note what happens to your arms and wrists as you travel through the ball. Now, take another swing, using an easy tempo, and concentrate on rotating / unwinding all the way through the ball. You should see and feel very differently. Particularly notice the arm and hand action through the ball.

Remember that the club face should move from open just before impact to closed shortly after impact. This is accomplished by the natural rotation of the body, arms and wrist action, none of which should be forced.
