When to Snap Pt 2 | GSnap Trail Hand Golf Drill

George Gankas demonstrates how to use the GSnap Trail Hand training aid to master the clubface at the start of the backswing. By pre-setting a closed face at first parallel, golfers are forced to rotate their bodies through impact rather than 'throwing' their angles to square an open face.

• Snap the GSnap at first parallel to ensure the clubface is closed to the target line early.
• Avoid adding extra wrist hinge after the first parallel; let the arm fold naturally instead.
• A closed face allows the trail elbow to move in front of the body, creating better compression.
• An open clubface is the primary cause of early release (casting), as the brain tries to flip the face square at impact.
• Rotation is the necessary engine to prevent a closed clubface from hitting the ball left.
