Every Tour Player Does This — So Can You

PGA instructor Mike Malaska explains how tour players generate effortless clubhead speed by allowing the wrist hinge to work naturally. By contrasting a flipping action with proper rehinging, Malaska demonstrates how soft arms allow the clubhead to accelerate past the handle through impact.

• Allow the weight and momentum of the clubhead to naturally hinge, unhinge, and rehinge your wrists.
• Avoid pulling the club through impact with your shoulders, which stalls the clubhead and causes a flip.
• Keep your arms and wrists soft so the handle slows down post-impact while the clubhead accelerates past it.
• Practice the L-to-L motion to build a repeatable release that controls face angle and boosts distance.
