Porzak Golf breaks down the exact directional motion of the wrist hinge during the takeaway. By setting up an alignment station representing hand path and a 45-degree hinge angle, golfers learn how blending wrist hinge with body rotation keeps the clubhead on plane while flattening the lead wrist.
Your hand path during the takeaway should travel straight back toward your right pocket along the line of your feet.
Without body rotation, the wrists naturally hinge at a 45-degree angle relative to your setup.
Combining this 45-degree hinge with proper body rotation keeps the club parallel to your target line at hand height.
Achieving the proper takeaway wrist hinge automatically helps flatten the lead wrist.
