FIX This Wrist Move Before Hip Height

Golf coach Kerrod Gray breaks down proper wrist conditions during the early takeaway phase before hip height. By moving the lead wrist to flat and hinging the trail wrist at a 45-degree angle as the club reaches parallel, golfers can maintain clubface control and establish a repeatable backswing.

• Prevent the club from snatching inside around the body early in the takeaway.
• Ensure the lead wrist moves from cupped to flat as the shaft reaches parallel to the ground.
• Hinge the back wrist upward at approximately a 45-degree angle.
• Proper early wrist action keeps the clubface controlled and sets up solid impact.
