The wrists play a crucial role in the golf swing. They directly control the club face angle, and are a major source of power. Wrist action can be broken down into 3 components:
– Flexion/extension
– Radial deviation
– Forearm rotation
In today’s video we’re going to take a detailed look at how to use your wrists properly in the golf swing. I’ll be using the HackMotion wrist sensor, a powerful tool that provides real-time feedback you can’t get any other way.
I’ll also show you a couple of simple drills that you can use to improve the wrist action in your swing!

Nice video lesson. I think another amateur error tendency is using the shoulders/upper torso in an attempt to get the forearms/shaft to rotate thru impact. Not a pretty result. Takes work to isolate the forearms if someone hasn't been doing it.
Tiger in what year?
Excellent tips Zach
I have the Hack Motion but do not have the instructor's module. This video helps me to understand what I am trying to do with it. I kept trying to get flexed at the top but was getting frustrated. Now I have a better idea of what I am trying to do with the info it provides. Thanks!
Thanks, good drill , good observation, thank you very much for this good video.
Thanks, Grate inf 😊
Great video, Zach! Thanks! I hit it so much better simply rotating my left forearm. I am way too inconsistent using my previous early wrist set.
Some tour players have the leading edge of club matching the spine angle downline at the hip high area of the backswing, and it seems like less have it rotated to toe up. Does the Hack Motion data have stats on how many, or what the majority do?
Recently the first drill (arm pivoting from the shoulder) you gave has been termed the look cool drill. 😉 https://youtu.be/NpwjrWXYEXY
You said Tiger Woods far too many times for my taste in this video.🤮
Great video. I got myself lost for a year or so trying the keep the face looking at the ball through out the backswing. Good stuff keep them coming.
I don't know… I think most amateurs rotate their forearms and wrist too much. They stop turning, and just use their arms. I would recommend most amateurs rotate the club closed on the back swing, which will force them to turn back more. Then, continue to rotate the club closed on the downswing.
Where did you get your “big” plastic club, I’ve looked all over online. Thanks
Invaluable info. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻
9:20 I agree but interestingly if you watch every tour player swing they are keeping that clubface more shut and square which is contrary to the purple rotation indicator right?
9:28 BRACE AND STABILIZE AT IMPACT? Do you mean that you're suddenly tensing your muscles at the moment of impact?
I'm surprised that the pros aren't more in flexion
