Golf Swing Wrist Hinge - How to Use the Wrists in the Golf Swing

Golf swing wrist hinge can vary depending on your skill level. This golf lesson shows you how to use the wrists in the golf swing.

If you are wondering what sort of golf swing wrist rotation you should have, it likely depends on your skill level.

In this golf lesson, Todd Kolb shows us how to swing a golf club with the proper golf swing wrist hinge if you are a low digit handicap, as well as senior golf swing tips to get proper golf wrist hinge in the backswing and through impact.

If you are a golfer with more swing speed and flexibility, your golf swing wrist action is going to be more held off, which can help you get a more consistent golf swing and shot accuracy.

If you are an older golfer or have less time to practice, you should have some wrist hinge in golf swing to help you hit the ball, giving you more arm speed to increase club head speed.

Talk about nailing it! I’ve played both ways. I’m a low handicap golfer. I’ll tell you this…. You better be feeling strong, and flexible if you plan on playing with the bowed wrist, rotation, and side bend method. It takes lots of effort. Your distance will come from hip rotation, and core. Just like you said. The ball flight is very predictable, but it literally makes me more tired, and even sore after a round. However…. The roll over method is much more relaxing, because you’re basically stalling your body, and allowing the arms, and hands to take over. If I’m feeling tired, or stiff, I’ll play this way. But, I can also count on some duck hooks during the round. lol. Very, very good video! I completely understand what you’re saying.

can't thank you enough for the verticle line swing.. all the balls are going straight down the fairway, , I I am now enjoying playing gold.

Great video as always Todd I was taught the feet together drill when I took lessons, he gave that to cut down on my over swinging and maintain balance

Todd, thank you! This helped me get a better, consistent ball flight (the pro takeaway concept). I’ve been playing for 3 years and this is probably the most useful lesson I’ve came across.

Great video. As I watch the pros, I think their swing is different but I couldn’t determine what it was. Thanks for the explanation.

[gregboggs]

Great information and instructions. Thanks

really great content Todd, getting excited to get out there and practicing/using this (when the snow melts in ~3 months 😵‍💫). thank you for all you do!

Todd, Thank You. You answered my question on how to release the golf club. You make it look so easy. Is it the same with the driver?

[mikemitchell]

During backswing if gripped properly do the wrists hindge

[easyswing]

I've been doing that release for years now the club face is a little closed at impact. I just aim a little more left of my target and swing, left handed good video.

[williamraper]

In another of your lessons, you propose slightly bending the left knee early in the downswing. Should this be attempted in the “experienced” swing?

[johnathonwoolsey]

Todd - Can this wrist technique be applied to a driver as well?

[johnkeegan]

How does this hinging work with the vertical line swing?

[josephwirtz]

I think I actually do a combination of both…😳
