Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
Laid off swings often start too flat. Vertical wrist hinge creates the necessary height and steepness early to prevent laying it off late.
How to Perform the Drill
The coach gives no set rep count. Our general guideline: 3 sets of 10 slow rehearsal reps, then half swings with a ball, adding speed only once the steps feel natural.
In the takeaway, focus on hinging the thumbs UP toward the sky.
Do not roll the forearms (which points the club horizontally).
Feel 'Thumbs Up' early in the backswing.
This keeps the clubhead outside the hands and steepens the shaft.
