Stop Flipping Your Wrists On Pitch Shots (Do This Instead)
Alex Fortey from The Art of Simple Golf explains how to eliminate wrist flipping on pitch shots by widening your swing arc. By maintaining hand-to-body space and turning the ribcage rather than relying on wrist hinge, golfers achieve a shallower delivery and more consistent short game contact.
Maintain the distance between the club butt and your chest throughout the swing to keep a wide arc.
Check at waist height that your hands are several inches away from your thighs rather than pulled in tight.
Power pitch shots using ribcage and core rotation instead of quick wrist flips.
Keep shoulder movement feeling relatively level through impact to avoid dipping and digging steep divots.
