Take a look at this picture of Ben Hogan from his Book Five Lessons. I drew a blue line that you can barely see that shows how perfectly straight his left wrist is. This is the ideal impact position in golf. Notice the forward shaft lean at impact? His hands are ahead of the ball with maximum compression on that poor golf ball. Hogan was known as one of the best ball strikers of all time!

You cannot attain a flat left wrist if you flip at the ball through impact. This is one of the most common faults of high handicap golfers (and some low handicappers like me ) We’ve got to convince ourselves that we don’t have to help the ball get in the air. A descending blow gets the ball in the air with compression. To get this descending blow, we must have a bent right wrist, and a flat left wrist. Anything else is incorrect and will not produce the results you’re looking for.

Left Wrist Action Through Golf Swing

It took me years to figure out exactly what the hands and wrists do through the golf swing. I had the hardest time comprehending it until I read Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons book. On page 102 the below picture was an “awakening” for me. I could finally see exactly what the left hand especially does throughout the entire golf swing.

Notice how the left wrist NEVER bends throughout the whole golf swing! This is KEY to better ball striking. The left wrist in a sense rolls over through impact. It is not an intentional rolling as that would cause a big hook or pull to the left. But notice after impact how the back of the left hand is facing the ground. For most golfers it’s facing “up” because the hands were “flipped” and not rolled.

I had an eye-opening experience with a golf instructor recently, who looked at my grip (it was wrong) and my clubface at address. He said it was WIDE OPEN! I was in disbelief, but I trusted this instructor unequivocally. He squared the face, corrected my golf grip fundamentals and when I looked down at the club on the ground behind the ball I about fell over!

It looked completely, 100% shut!

Then, when he put me in an impact position, I about fell over a second time. Wow! I had never seen nor felt this position in my life! I think this is where many golfers mess up. They, like me, don’t really know what a correct and square clubface should look like at address, and at impact.

Take a look at the below picture, and ask yourself if your club at address looks like this?

If it does, than you are a solid ball-striker. If it doesn’t, you’re about to experience nirvana like I did!

I am now compressing the crap out of the ball with a piercing lower trajectory that I can control, and I’m getting backspin on the greens!

I’ve added about 5 yards to every iron, and I hit my irons pretty far already, so this was an added bonus. Now I don’t have to worry about the thought… “why is it so hard to square golf clubface at impact?”

Best Resource For Clubface

I’ve come across a phenomenal golf ebook that covers every aspect of clubface awareness in the golf swing. It really is amazing, as I have never seen a book just covering the clubface like this one.
