Why Your Golf Swing Feels Like Hard Work

Does your golf swing sometimes feel like you’re working way too hard with your arms?

One reason could be that you release your wrist angle too early.

If you lose this angle too soon in the downswing, you can lose power and also increase the chance of hitting fat or thin shots.

Watch Annabel Fuller here. She keeps her wrist angle much longer and then lets it release naturally as the club picks up speed.

To practice this, try to keep your right wrist less active at the beginning of the downswing. Start with slow swings and focus on not pushing the club with your right hand too early.

Then add speed step by step.

And don’t just trust the feeling. Film your swing and check if you’re actually improving it.

If you don’t have an app yet to check and analyze your own swing, search for GolfSkool Analyzer in the App Store or Play Store. It’s a free app that lets you watch your swing in slow motion, draw lines and compare your swing with players like Annabel Fuller.

Best,
