In this instruction breakdown, Porzak Golf clarifies the common misconception surrounding width in the golf swing. Rather than trying to push the clubhead far away from the body, true width is defined by maintaining a consistent distance between the hands and the sternum. Golfers can utilize a tight-rope visualization between the chest and club grip to maintain connection even while hinging the wrists.
Width is defined by the distance between your hands and the center of your sternum, not how far the clubhead is pushed away.
Visualize a tight rope stretched from your sternum to the end of the club grip throughout the backswing.
You can naturally hinge your wrists while maintaining proper hand-to-sternum width and body connection.
