I lack wrist hinge, but when I do the drills to get wrist hinge to 90 degrees at top of backswing I always skull the ball. Does anyone have any insights or advice on this? Thank you.

Yes, two things:

  1. Start a Member Swing topic with good high-speed video from correct camera angles: https://thesandtrap.com/forums/forum/13-member-swings/, https://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing.
  2. Turn. You just pull your arms across your body. There doesn't appear to be much turn there.

      Day 126: another busy day, so just did some mirror work. Checking set up and backswing and working on a few downswing feels.

      Day 310 - Working on my follow-through. Higher chest, belt towards the target. Small swings at first, building to a fuller swing (still not thrilled with my short backswing).

      Day 201 (19 Nov 24) - Walked the back nine at Minnesott today, played the “white” tees with the persimmon woods and bladed irons.  It’s a challenge I really like as the clubs are shorter in overall distances.  It really forces me focus on the value of the approach game.     Somehow yesterday’s post did not load / so it’s above.  Today (Day 202) I did some backyard short yardage work - 7i dink  and rolls, 9i chips and 50deg pitches - working to get it in before the rain started around noon.

      Day 51 - 2024-11-20 Played nine holes of Sanctuary Moon with a 6I while pausing in the backswing and otherwise just practicing. If you're into Star Wars, or don't actively hate it… this is worth checking out.
