Golf Swing Tips: Improve Your Game By Rotating Your Hands Through The Ball

The main focus of today’s lesson is to make sure you are in the perfect position at the point of impact. The angle of the club head will determine the outcome of your shot whether that is hitting it straight, slicing it, hooking, etc. Now grab one of your irons and perform your regular swing. What we want to look for is the position of your hands and forearms at the point of impact.

Alright, get back into the impact position, acting like you are about to hit the golf ball. Now…. one thing we want to focus on is keeping our wrists straight and not letting them bend to the left or right at impact. Bending your wrists is known as a “wrist break” in the golf world, and it is not something that we want. A wrist break at impact will most likely cause a slice. However, what you do want is to “flip” your hands through the ball at impact. So, how do we learn how to do this? This little exercise should help you out with that….

Use Your Wrist Watch To Help You Rotate Your Hands

Ok, the easiest way for us to learn the proper form is if we can see the correct moves to make. This can be done easily with a simple wrist watch. So, go grab one…

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.

Properly rotating your wrists through the ball at impact will automatically “close” your club face which reduces that nasty slice and improves your total distance. This move will both reduce your slice, and add distance.

While you are trying to master this golf swing tip, you need to make sure your forearms are working together. Your forearms should be as close to one another as possible through the impact zone. If you can implement this simple technique you will benefit from longer, straighter shots, and a lower golf score :)
