How the wrists move throughout the golf swing could be THE MOST IMPORTANT skill in all of golf!

PGA instructor Rob Cheney breaks down the essential role wrist mechanics play in controlling the club face throughout the golf swing. He emphasizes how measuring lead wrist flexion and extension with biofeedback tools like wrist sensors helps golfers correct face angles and swing direction.

• Wrist angles directly control club face orientation, which dictates swing path obligations.
• Measuring wrist flexion and extension provides objective data on mechanics that cannot be seen or felt.
• Controlling the club face at impact is key to fixing flight directional issues like slices and hooks.
