Golf Wrist Cock – Proper Golf Grip – Preset Wrists For Power
October 26, 2009 by · Leave a Comment
Many beginner and high handicap golfers want to know what the correct golf wrist cock is. Although this is very important to get right, having a proper golf grip will ensure you execute your wrist golf properly.
Issues With An Improper Golf Grip
If you have too strong of a left hand, you will have too much cup in your wrists at the top of your swing. This may cause you to overcock your wrists, and come across the line at the top, causing a whole host of issues coming down. If your golf grip is too weak, it may cause an excess bowing of your left wrist which will result in a shut clubface both at the top of your golf swing and at impact, resulting in some brutal pulls to the left. Learning how to grip a golf club is critical to making the correct golf wrist cock that promotes maximum wrist lag.
Proper Golf Wrist Cock
The proper golf wrist cock is very simple. You do not want to manipulate your wrists in any way, or you will have as mentioned above either too much cup in your wrists or excessing bow in them. With the proper grip on your golf club, you should be able to get in your address position, and without doing anything, just raise your clubhed straight off the ground vertically. You will do this by correctly cocking your wrists straight up.
When you’ve reached your maximum wrist cock, stop, hold it, and take a look at it. That is a perfect golf wrist cock that will encourage wrist lag and power into your golf swing.
Preset Golf Wrist Cock
This is where it gets fun. I do this all the time, and actually hit balls from this position. Once you get the proper wrist cock as described above, now just rotate the shaft to your right until it is parallel and right on top of your toe line. This is a perfect position to be in to just rotate back to an absolute beautiful “text book” top of the backswing position, with the correct and proper amount of wrist cock. At the top you will notice you are still parallel with your toe (target) line, putting you into a perfect position coming down.
That’s all there is to it!
