Wrist Hinge, Grip and Grip PressureIn this video, Shawn Clement talks about how the grip, the wrist hinge and the grip pressure affect the arm motion which in turn affect the over-all performance of your golf swing. The way your wrists hinge in the back swing is very much how you would hinge your wrist when you go fishing. So if you have a fishing rod in your hands here, you hinge the wrist, you cast that fishing line out there. In the backswing, the right hand rotates up, the left arm rotates down. And on through the swing it’s the opposite. The left arm rotates up and the right hand rotates down. In the backswing, fold, you want to make sure that your left arm stays extended. You don’t want the arms collapsing against the body, or collapsing in this manner. That left arm is supporting as the right arm extends down to the target. Lastly, as for grip pressure, feel like you’re holding the club just about right meaning, not too tight or to loose. You’ll notice as you swing the club, that grip pressure will intensify. Let your central nervous system take care of that for you.
