Golf Swing Tips – How To Rotate Your Hands Through The Ball At 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.

While you are swinging try to keep your wrists straight and locked. Do not let them bend to the left or right at impact, this is known as a “wrist break” and it will have a bad effect on your golf shot. What we want to do is “flip” the hands through the ball at impact. The exercise that I have below will help you learn this simple technique…

Using Your Wrist Watch

Now the fastest way for you to learn the correct technique is if you can see it in action. You can do this by using a wrist watch (don’t worry it doesn’t have to be a Rolex ) So get 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 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
