If you are a practicer, drills are a key way to learn and improve. With the HackMotion Biofeedback capability fixing wrist motion in the swing has never been easier.

3 Drills with Biofeedback to Fix Excessive Wrist Extension
Watch the demonstration by Monte Scheinblum (9 min) to learn 3 drills with biofeedback for the lead wrist in full swing:
- Drill 1: max extension 20°;
- Drill 2: neutral 0° at the top;
- Drill 3: flexion -20° as the first move in the downswing
Monte discusses how neutral and more stable wrist action is the best choice for amateur golfers. Professionals can get involved with more advanced positioning in their wrists, but HackMotion data (with biofeedback) can help to simplify things from setup to backswing to impact.
Wrist Motion in Bunker Shots
Yes, HackMotion can help with the short game and bunker shots as well. Watch the demonstration by Fredrik Lindblom (3 min) to learn how the lead wrist extension in backswing helps to expose the bounce and become more consistent out of the bunker.
Extra extension in the bunker can help ensure that you get the ball out of the bunker.
Many golfers decrease the loft in their wedges during their backswing in a bunker; this results in several shots to get you out, something that needs to be avoided!
2 Drills to Get into a Good Position to Throw
A lot of players struggle with manipulating the club too much through impact. The ability to throw the club to the target, with a little manipulation of the face is a power move. In addition, you will learn to develop consistency by using the larger muscles in the swing.
Watch the demonstration by Brian Manzella (11 min) to learn 2 drills to achieve a good lead wrist position before impact to release the angles and simply throw the club without manipulating it.
Drills to Improve Clubface Control
This is another drill video from Jason Sutton and Robbie Failes. This video will walk you through four different clubface control drills including:
- Lead Hand Only Drill: Helps learn supination (counter-clockwise rotation) of the lead forearm during impact.
- Opened Trail Hand Drill: Encourages the pivot to move the club, not just hands; prevents last-moment manipulation.
- No Thumbs Drill: Reduces wrist extension and radial deviation; promotes body pivot control.
- Ball Between the Arms Drill: Prevents arm separation at impact for more power and control.
3 Proven Drills to Perfect Golf Swing Consistency
Rob Cheney demonstrates three drills to help improve golf swing consistency and get your game back on track. This video includes one of his most famous drills, the “Hit Hard and Stop” drill.
