anyone know of any drills to help eliminate wrist roll through impact. i noticed the other day that i was a little open through impact so i guess psychologically i have tried to compensate by but it has resulted in hooks and lower shots with less distance.

AAAAHHHHHH !!!!!!

My experience has been to swing with the left hand only and then try to feel that in your golf swing. Most over-releasing or even flipping is from an overzealous right side and/or hand. Having the left wrist lead through impact will improve your ballflight, distance, and consistency.

Most of the time, I find that the worse people's setups/swings are the more 'flippy' they have to get during the swing (because they have to subconciously square the clubface with their hands due to a faulty swing).

If this is not the case though then there's probably one drill you'd really like. I call it the disconnect/reconnect drill. Basically feel as though the butt head is connected to your core during setup. Take it back (which should naturally lead to a disconnect). Then take it down (which should lead to a reconnect) but try to keep your hands as passive as you possibly can (basically, trying to give you the feel of releasing with your body instead of your hands). This should lead to a reconnection during contact and subsequent disconnect during the follow though. It should also result in minimalisation of forearm/hand roll/release.

Another way is to strengthen your grip severely and then attempt to swing this way. To stop the thing from hooking you have no choice but to 'chase' after the ball which will clearly result in less hand/forearm roll.

Finally, you could just try hitting punch shots which forces you to keep the clubface square to the target line for longer.

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
