Learn To Have A Correct Golf Wrist Set For More Power And Control

The golf wrist set is an important part of your backswing. The wrist hinge in the golf swing should occur in the first part of your backswing. You are loading up power and creating a 90 degree angle between the golf club shaft and your right forearm. If you swing the golf club back properly, a good wrist set should naturally occur. Trying to force the club to set can occur if there is too much tightness and tension in your arms and hands. You want to allow the golf club head to swing up and you should feel your hands stay low in the first half you your backswing.

Another reason why it is important to make a good wrist hinge in your golf swing is because you will be able to lead with the hands coming into impact. This is a key ingredient to good ball striking in golf. You want to hit down and the golf ball and allow the loft of the club to get the ball up in the air. Trying to lift or help the golf ball up as you are hitting it will only work against you.
