Flat left wrist top of swing

[randy418]

no matter how hard I try , I feel it's impossible for me to have a flat left wrist at the top of my swing, Is there something I'm doing wrong. I've watched every video known to man about this. I've gripped all different ways. Could it be im actually doing it, but I think I'm not?

It may not even be essential that you have a flat left wrist at the top of your backswing. PGA Tour players often do not.

Welcome to TST. There's no one way to swing.

Hi,

I believe i am maintaining flat left wrist at impact, although it does flip every once in awhile when i try to swing to hard.

Kinda tough to see anything in that video...

You should start a My Swing thread if you haven't already.

Im trying to break 80 this summer. Im only golfing 11 months. Thats the goal for this golf season.

My take on it is that having a flat left wrist at the top of the backswing is really only significant if you understand where the club face is and what type of grip you use. With a preference for a stronger grip and I don't personally want to see my A4 with a flat left wrist. I agree with @Ernest Jones that you should start a swing thread.

Tough to achieve inline impact (flat left wrist) when the weight doesn't get forward.

Compare this left knee and the amount the lower body has transferred forward

The important thing about the angle in the left wrist is that it be the same at the top of the backswing as it was at address. That goes a long way toward keeping the clubface square.
