Wrist Sequence for a Powerful Release
3 min
Titleist staff member and TPI co-founder Dr. Greg Rose takes a closer look at one segment of the body that is often overlooked, but which plays a large kinematic role in generating speed – your wrists.
It's frequently said that the hands are important because they are your only connection to the golf club. A proper grip will allow you to square the club face at impact and hit straight shots. A lot of instruction stops there, but as Greg demonstrates, the hands and wrists do much more. In the swings of the best players in the world, the wrists also move in a specific sequence, flexing, then unhinging, then finally rotating. This is what allows great players to deloft their irons, release the club with such great speed and compress the golf ball with such force.
Spend a little time working on Dr. Rose's wrist skills and see how quickly your ball-striking improves.
