In this tutorial, David Blair of Swing Build Golf demonstrates how to integrate a club into wrist hinge exercises for a more consistent swing. He emphasizes the importance of a neutral grip and describes the 'flicking' sensation of a proper release that leads to better ball-turf contact and compression.
Maintain a neutral grip where creases in the hands point toward the golfer and run parallel to the club face.
Keep arms squeezed together throughout the movement to ensure the body remains involved in the swing.
During the backswing, you should see two knuckles on the right hand and one on the left hand to ensure the hands haven't rolled.
A proper release should feel like the club head is sliding under and 'flicking' up, though the hands remain ahead at actual impact.
Avoid trying to manually hold the club face square; allow the natural 'free wheel' motion to square the face through the ball.
