Stop Cupping Your Wrist if You Want Distance

Kathy Hart Wood demonstrates how cupping your left wrist (for right-handers) at the top of your swing robs you of valuable distance.

This is not hyperbole. I truly believe that it is so much harder to play good golf without a flat left wrist (for right-handers).

You get your wrist cupped when you have a bad grip, a right-hand that’s too dominant, or by twisting the face open at take away.

A cupped wrist opens the face which costs distance, solid contact and directional control (slice usually). What happens is that we have to rely on compensations to square the face at impact and this is just too hard and not repeatable.

Check out this video as I explain more.

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.
