Dial in your hand and wrist position for cleaner, more consistent ball striking

Scratch Golf Academy shares a simple practice drill to master proper hand and wrist position through impact. By training a bent, tilted right hand and encouraging forward shaft lean, golfers can eliminate flipping and hit low, crisp, and straight shots.

• Keep the trail (right) wrist bent and tilted through the impact zone.
• Promote forward shaft lean for a crisp, low, and straight shot trajectory.
• Eliminate early wrist release (flipping) to improve strike consistency and contact.
