Setting The Wrists This Way Creates A SIMPLE & EASY Golf Swing!
PGA-certified instructor Giles Gill demonstrates how to simplify wrist set in the backswing by breaking down the independent mechanics of the lead and trail wrists. He explains how side dominance dictates swing feels and provides an alignment stick drill to improve clubface control, shaft lean, and ball compression.
Identify whether you are lead-hand or trail-hand dominant to focus on the swing feel that resonates best with you.
Push down on the handle with your lead hand toward your trail big toe to lift the clubhead and encourage a flat lead wrist.
Set your trail wrist back on itself like holding a tray over your trail shoulder to square or slightly close the clubface.
Delivering proper shaft lean at impact requires a slightly closed clubface position throughout the swing.
Practice with an alignment stick along the grip to get instant visual and physical feedback on your wrist set during takeaway.
