Fix Your Backswing With This Simple Right Hand Feel
In this concise swing tip, Kerrod Gray explains how focusing on your right palm position can transform your backswing structure. By feeling the trail palm face down to the ground early and then turn behind you, golfers automatically set proper wrist hinge, flatten the lead wrist, and create maximum swing width for added distance.
Feel your trail (right) palm facing down toward the ground during the early takeaway to naturally initiate wrist hinge.
Allow the right palm to face back behind you as the backswing continues.
This movement flattens the lead wrist when both hands are on the grip.
Creating greater distance between your body and the clubhead provides leverage for maximum power.
