The key moment is position 6 — when the club is parallel to the ground in the downswing. At that point, the hips are already almost fully rotated toward the target. The head stays back, while the rest of the body has shifted forward. This creates natural tension through the arms.
That tension transfers into the wrists — and right around position 6, the wrist angle begins to release. This release isn’t forced; it happens as a result of the energy built up through the body’s movement.
This sequence — lower body first, then the arms, then the wrists — is what’s called the kinematic chain. And that’s the key to an effortless golf swing: energy flows naturally from the ground up, through proper sequencing — not through brute force. If you’d like one of those drills—something that helps you feel the right movement without overthinking— just comment “Level Up”, and I’ll send you a link to my training community, where LPGA Tour player Sandra Gal and I share the exact exercises that make your swing more effortless.

Great ball striker here, angles maintained in the downswing beautifully, ball first strike divot after, he definitely controls his low point in the swing.

Video I'm watching has no sound. Are the circles representing center of gravity shift?
That’s got to be tiger woods
Check out the waitress from The Pancake House at your 2 o’clock. She waiting for Tiger to get off work. 😅
