How do you implement the wrist hinge drill?

[Sandhills Golfer]

How do you implement the attached wrist hinge drill on the backswing? Normally, I get stuck and lift the club. I have even blamed this lifting due to a lack of flexibility. Today, I realized, with this drill, once the wrists are cocked, I can turn easily with little effort. How do we duplicate this from a normal address position? Tanner

I doubt you lack flexibility. You probably do not turn correctly. That also can cause incorrect backswing path. When a golfer doesn't turn correctly, then it is harder for the hands to gain depth. Then the clubhead can flip inside.

Check out this thread.

I am not a fan of that type of drill. Look at the action it is having you do.

1. Stay still at address
2. Hinge your wrists
3. Turn

The golf swing isn't that type of motion. There are a lot of moving parts that happen in conjunction. The better way would be to do slow motion practice where you see the change you want happen on video.

If you roll it, you can still roll it from there. It's not like he's not rolling his forearms from there. He still is.
