Lesson Example: Align the Wrists, the Body Will Follow

Have you asked “WHY” your body movement is incorrect during the golf swing?

Richard Woodhouse shares his experience identifying the synergy of player’s wrist and body movement and how it affects clubface control.

Using HackMotion, Richard was able to identify:

The player moved the lead wrist into a hard radial/extension pattern in transition. It caused the face to open and the shaft to become very steep.
As a reaction, the player extended the pelvis in an attempt to realign the clubs mass into a position where he can match up at impact.

With the measurements and biofeedback from HackMotion wrist sensor, they developed a movement in transition where the player’s lead wrist moves toward flexion and ulnar deviation.

This sends the club’s mass upwards and behind, creating the incentive for the body to rotate vs. thrust throughout downswing movement.

HackMotion biofeedback bridges the feel and real together. Understanding and feeling what you do at the grip end of the club opens up a lot of answers to the “WHY” in relation to body movement patterns.
