Keeping things really simple is key. Click Here to find out how to do it.

The topic we are going to focus on today is very important, although it is often overlooked. That topic is….how to properly rotate your hands through the ball at impact. Luckily, this golf swing tip is not hard to learn and you can have it implemented into your game by the end of the day. It will have you hitting the ball cleaner and straighter. So let’s start learning….

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

Getting into the perfect position at the point of impact is a very important step within the golf swing. The angle of the club face will determine whether you hit the ball straight or in some other direction that you don’t want it to go. Now grab a club and swing it as you normally would. Pay attention to the position of your hands and forearms at the point of impact. This is what we are going to focus on.

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….

Using Your Wrist Watch

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.

When implementing this tip, it’s important to note that your forearms should be working together. Keep your forearms as close to each other as possible through the impact zone. Once you master this technique you will be well on your way to longer, straighter shots, and a lower golf score
