Tips To Improve Your Golf Swing: Rotating Your Hands Through The Ball At The Point Of Impact

Time for some exercise. Go grab a club and swing it. Now when you are swinging notice the position of your hands and forearms at the point of impact. What we are going to try to do is to get you in the proper position at the impact point. This will have a HUGE effect on your golf game. Just think about it, the impact point and its angle, determines whether you hit a shot straight, slice it, hook it, etc.

When you are at the impact position make sure that you are keeping your wrists straight and locked. If you let your wrists bend to the left or right at impact your shot will most likely result in a slice which is not what we want. This bending of the wrists is what is known as a “wrist break”. So keep your wrists straight. Also, we need to “flip” our hands at the point of impact. There is an easy exercise that I have to help you master this technique….

The Wrist Watch Exercise

In order for you to learn the proper technique you need to see it in action. This can be done easily by using a simple wrist watch. So go grab a watch and let’s get started…

Ok, Do you have your watch? Now, as your leading arm comes into the impact zone, the watch face should be facing your target, which will more than likely be the flag. At the point of impact, ROTATE your wrists and forearms so the watch face is pointing at the ground. This movement will also make your trailing wrist and forearm “flip” on top of your leading wrist and forearm. Continue to practice this movement until it feels completely natural 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.

While you practice this golf swing tip, make sure that your forearms are working together. They should be as close to each other as possible through the point of impact. Mastering this simple golf swing tip will lead to longer, straighter golf shots, and a lower score overall :)
