Pitching Drills
How Your Wrists Reflect the Face
Because the clubhead is small and far from you, it’s sometimes hard to understand the relationship between what your hands do and what the club does. To see this relationship, hold a badminton racket (or Ping-Pong paddle) with your regular golf grip. When you cup your left wrist by creating a crease where your watch goes (HIGH), you add "loft" to the racket for a higher shot. A neutral or flat left wrist (MEDIUM) produces a neutral face, and a bowed left wrist (LOW) reduces loft. In all these positions, the racket face remains square to the back of your left hand.
