This Simple Device Fixed My Open Club Face in 10 Minutes

Instructor Justin Kraft joins Cordie Walker to explain how wrist angles dictate clubface control. They demonstrate how trail wrist extension in the backswing prevents an open face, using the Wrist-X training aid to provide auditory feedback for proper positioning. The video also features a simple 'tee drill' to help golfers achieve the correct lead-wrist flexion and compression at impact.

• Most amateurs leave the clubface open by having a trail wrist that is too flat at the top of the backswing.
• An open clubface often forces an 'over-the-top' move as a compensation to keep the ball on the course.
• Tour average trail wrist extension at the top of the swing is approximately 55 degrees.
• The 'toe down' position at the top of the backswing indicates an extremely open face, which leads to high, spinny, weak shots.
• Proper wrist extension in the transition helps shallow the club naturally, improving the swing plane.
