Thanks for becoming a Member! There has been much discussion on wrist hinging here in the forum and some blog posts too (just search and you’ll find).In general… if you hinge, you’ll have to unhinge and that usually turns into a flip and a miss hit… and you don’t gain anything by hinging, SINCE we don’t throw the club through impact, we rotate and trap the ball with the entire body. We want a nice solid shaft in line with the front arm, and flat to bowed out front wrist, while making contact with the ball.
Now you can do anything you want… if you can hinge into the right impact position at the top of the backswing, and then hold that back down into impact, GREAT… but most hinge the face wide open, then get the opposite reaction on the downswing, and end up flipping for a non solid, miss hit because they’re trying to square the face on the downswing.

Thank you. I understand. Fixing the club/arm, Ross move etc and rotating is working wonders. All other instruction material up till now has managed to complicate matters. Will keep working and will let you know the results in time. Thanks again.This is a mentality that takes a long time to change to conviction. I advise you continue to play and practice to keep the WRISTS intact from setup to impact and through. It is working for me. Your peers and pros will continue to challenge this. Please resist and keep the left wrist bowed and avoid flip or flop. I write out of experience. It works perfectly for ball striking.
