Jason Sutton (Golf Magazine Top-100 PGA Teaching Professional) demonstrates wrist motion drills for improving club face control.
Watch the video below to see the recording of his excellent presentation (20 minutes).
Extension(+)/Flexion(-)
Radial(+)/Ulnar(-) Deviation
Rotation Open(-)/Closed(+)
Here are some notes from the presentation.
The terminology used:
- Flexion (-)/Extension (+) (green line) = Bowing/Cupping of the lead wrist
- Radial(+)/Ulnar (-) deviation (blue line) = Cocking/Uncocking of the lead wrist
- Rotation (purple line) = Global Rotation relative to address, Closing clubface (+) /Opening clubface (-)
Key moves and matchups explained:
KEY MOVE – The best players lead wrist moves towards flexion early in transition.
“Close the face early so you don’t have to close it late” Jon Sinclair
- Matching grip types with top of swing (stronger=more extension), (neutral to weak=more flat or bowed)
- Matching release types to wrist conditions (rolling release – more extension/slow pivot speed) torso square at impact
- Body release – stronger club face at top and early transition – torso open at impact
- “It’s the motion or the movement, not the position” Jon Sinclair
Drills demonstrated during the presentation:
- Motorcycle drill
- Screwdriver drill
- One arm only drills for new to intermediate golfers
- Resistance training
- Underload pattern – taking radial deviation out at the top
- Reverse curl/ulnar delivery and go drill
- 3/4 straight arm drill – flexion/ulnar finish for shaft and face control
