Hinge Drill

Problem

You need to encourage a proper release of the clubhead at impact.

Cure

In order to release properly at impact, you first need to set up for a proper wrist hinge during your backswing.

Therapy

Take two clubs and hold them directly out in front of you about waist high. Allow your stomach to help support your arms and move the club up towards the sky using only with your wrists. At the top of your swing, your forward arm needs to reverse the direction of the swing so the hands, arms, and club follow the same plane established during the backswing. Your hands should lead the clubhead to establish the release when your hands are about waist high.
