Start with wedges and focus on brushing the turf. The ball should fly shorter, but contact should feel compressed and balanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Drill 2: thumbs-up checkpoint\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Take the club back to waist height and check whether the thumbs feel under the handle, supporting the club. If the face is wide open or the club is wrapped behind you, reset and try again slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Drill 3: split-hand rehearsal\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Separate your hands slightly on the grip and make small backswings. This helps you feel the club set upward without excessive rolling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FocusGolf is useful for this kind of practice because wrist-hinge feels can be misleading at full speed. The Wear OS, Apple Watch, and Garmin app supports automatic swing detection, swing metrics, shot and distance tracking, video review, and session history without sensors, so you can compare what the hinge felt like with what the club and body actually did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Practice dose\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Hit three sets of five balls. Between sets, make two slow rehearsals without a ball. Stop if contact gets worse; the drill should organize the motion, not create hand tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n",210,{"slug":15,"title":16},"common-wrist-hinge-mistakes-and-simple-fixes","Common Wrist Hinge Mistakes and Simple Fixes",{"slug":18,"title":19},"how-wrist-hinge-affects-ball-flight-and-scoring","How Wrist Hinge Affects Ball Flight and Scoring",1782812356095]
