At What Point Should The Wrists Roll In The Golf Backswing Or Downswing - (Video) Lesson by PGA Pros Pete Styles and Matt Fryer
At What Point Should The Wrists Roll In The Golf Backswing Or Downswing - (Video) Lesson by PGA Pros Pete Styles and Matt Fryer

When applying wrist roll and rotation to the golf swing it should be noted that the golfer should aim to do the same going back as they do going forwards to produce a square clubface. Therefore it is important that the wrist rotation on the backswing is relatively limited otherwise the clubface can become too open at the top of the backswing, which in turn will result in a open clubface at impact or a golfer having to use active hands during the down swing phase to square the club. In this video tip PGA professionals Pete Styles and Matt Fryer will talk you through the correct wrist rotation for both the backswing and the downswing phases.

Matt I'd like you to talk us through the concept that if you do something in one part of your swing quite often you've got to undo it in another part of your swing. Specifically relating to what the hands are doing in the backswing and in the downswing. Yeah so we are talking about wrist there like you say it is a chain reaction if I do something and don't correct it there's going to be some big changes down what we saw at impact here. Set up to the ball one position and come back with a relatively simple club face since you need a square club face.

Yeah ideally you know we were you know even just at set up we know that we wouldn't have the face pointing exceedingly one way or the other away from target. We want to see that it would be square towards our target where we're trying to hit the golf ball. So one of the things we're talking about here is this wrist and what the role they play throughout the golf swing and you know we'll talk about you hear like terms like flipping and things like that and we're also talking about the release of the golf club here because as we move the golf club it is working around our body in a sort of circular motion it's angled in a certain degree here and the face should stay relatively square.
