Do This And It WILL TRANSFORM Your Golf Swing

In this instructional video, Eric Cogorno explains why transitioning the lead wrist from a cupped to a flat or bowed position is essential for consistent ball striking. He demonstrates how a cupped wrist at impact leads to weak, high shots and introduces the 'Prayer Drill' to help golfers feel the necessary wrist arch. By combining these wrist feels with a proper club path, golfers can expect increased compression and significant distance gains.

• A cupped lead wrist at impact adds loft and opens the club face, causing weak shots to the right.
• Flattening or bowing the lead wrist closes the face and delofts the club for maximum compression.
• The 'Prayer Drill' helps visualize the glove logo pointing away from the body at the top and down toward the ball during the downswing.
• Increasing lead wrist bowing should be paired with an inside-to-out club path to avoid pull hooks.
• Timing is key: most elite players flatten the wrist during the second half of the backswing and the first half of the downswing.
