How to Check Your Wrist Position at the Top of Your Backswing

If your swing is inconsistent, your wrists at the top may be the problem. Trillium Rose shows you a simple way to check.

How you position your club at the top of your backswing is actually all about your wrists and what they are doing. It’s a hard place to check because it’s not easy to look at and it’s in motion!

If your swing is inconsistent, your wrists at the top may be the problem so here is a simple way to check.

Start with your club at an L shape. So it is 90 degrees with your arms. Now take your wrist and twist them side to side, you’re still going to keep that 90-degree angle, but you’ll rotate them to the left and to the right.

Anything extreme is bad – too far to the right or the left. Somewhere in the middle is good. And that’s the feeling that you want at the top of the backswing. So when you get up to the top and you can look in the mirror to see. Are you neutral, or you extreme? Neutral is a nice safe place to be to get your transition off to a nice start.

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
