Most mishits are caused by a “bent-in” or “flipped” front wrist at impact! At impact, a solid golf shot will have the front wrist flat or even bowed outward a little, with the back wrist bent inward. This wrist alignment keeps the shaft in line with the front arm and maintains a full radius.   What generally causes the wrists to flip by impact is the body’s rotation stopping halfway through to support some kind of hand release or throwing of the clubhead at the ball. This urge to “hit at the ball” starts before impact. By impact, the opposite of what we’re trying to accomplish has happened: the clubhead has passed the hands, causing the front wrist to bend inward.

The more control you have over your grip pressure, the better you strike the ball. The feeling is that your shoulders, arms, and club are one unit—not disconnected levers and pieces hoping to reconnect at the ball. Why is it difficult to keep your hands passive during the swing?

So now Ross says, “Don’t use your hands to hit the ball.” Well, some things take work and practice to overcome. Once you learn this, the trade-off is so worth it. The golf swing becomes effortless, continuous, repeatable, predictable, and powerful. If you analyze the traditional ...
