Have you ever thought about what your hands and forearms are
actually doing at the moment of impact? If not, please give this
a try because it's one of the most important parts of the swing.
The Simple Golf Swing explains this move, and others, in much
more detail.
Try to get into the impact position, like you are about to make
solid contact with the ball. Now flip your trailing wrist like
you were casting a fishing pole. This is referred to as a wrist
break, and it’s not a move that you want to make in golf. So if
you are trying to “flip” your hands through the ball at impact,
this tip may help you understand the correct way to make this
happen.
If you put a wrist watch on you'll be able to visualize the
correct moves to make. As your leading arm approaches impact the
watch face should be getting close to pointing exactly down the
target line, or to the flag. Now simply ROTATE the watch face so
it's pointed at the ground. With a club in your hands, you'll
see that this move makes your trailing wrist and forearm "flip"
on top of your leading wrist and forearm.
You also see that this will help to "close" the face of your
club nicely, that will both reduce your slice, and add distance.
This is the correct move to be completing through impact.
It’s important to note that your forearms should be working
together as well. Try to keep your forearms as close to each
other as possible through the impact zone. If you can master
this move, you’ll find increased distance and it will also do
wonders for your slice.
