Does Bowing The Lead Wrist Really Close The Club Face?
In this video, we discuss a common point of discussion. Does the lead wrist bowing (or flexing) cause the club face to close? Some say yes, but others can do it and still get the same face number on Trackman. Can both be correct or is there only one right answer? Find out a simple way to reconcile this in your brain in this Golf Smart Insight.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.520
In this video, we're going to take a look at Boeing the lead risk to close the
2
00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:05.620
clubface.
3
00:00:05.620 --> 00:00:11.830
So I've gotten like three questions here in the last month of basically saying,
4
00:00:11.830 --> 00:00:12.000
does
5
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.580
Boeing your lead risk close the clubface?
6
00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:18.200
Because I've heard a number of instructors saying that no, it doesn't.
7
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:21.260
And I'll give you the two different perspectives because you pretty much have
8
00:00:21.260 --> 00:00:21.880
to, I don't think
9
00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:22.880
there's a middle ground.
10
00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:23.880
You have to choose one way or the other.
11
00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:27.200
You can understand the other, but you got to choose one of them.
12
00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:31.580
Here you're going to look at the club in just its overall relationship with the
13
00:00:31.580 --> 00:00:32.220
club, like
14
00:00:32.220 --> 00:00:35.000
if you're, or the target line I should say.
15
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.250
So if you're looking at something like track man and you say, okay, that club
16
00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:39.240
face is either
17
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.600
open or closed, just based on where the club is.
18
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.630
The other option is you're going to look at the individual components and how
19
00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:46.080
the body
20
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:51.760
is affecting the open close and the path at any point in time.
21
00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:55.460
If you're going to do the ladder, if you're going to look at individual
22
00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:57.160
components, then
23
00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:04.430
flexing that lead wrist is going to close the clubface and move the path to the
24
00:01:04.430 --> 00:01:05.240
right.
25
00:01:05.240 --> 00:01:10.820
What ends up happening is, or what I've seen is, a couple different instructors
26
00:01:10.820 --> 00:01:11.760
were demonstrating
27
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:17.970
that on track man, you can, here I am here, clubface is square, and then I bow
28
00:01:17.970 --> 00:01:18.800
that wrist
29
00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:20.440
and clubface is square.
30
00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:22.440
The problem is they did other movements.
31
00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:28.200
So if I was here and I just bowed the wrist, now I'm still in, everything else
32
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.040
has stayed
33
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.040
the same.
34
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.960
The club is not on the golf ball.
35
00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:33.720
I'm not at impact position.
36
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:37.990
I would have to use something that would move the path to the left, either
37
00:01:37.990 --> 00:01:39.080
rotation or what
38
00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:42.400
they're demonstrating, which is shoulder adduction.
39
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.200
So if I pull that arm away from me, that's going to tend to open the clubface.
40
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.400
So if I close the clubface with the wrist and I open the clubface from the
41
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:50.360
shoulder, yeah,
42
00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:54.880
the clubface is going to look like it's still square just with less loft, but
43
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:55.680
that doesn't
44
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.080
mean that this by itself didn't close the clubface.
45
00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:02.450
So hopefully this helps you understand, but yes, in my opinion, if you're
46
00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:03.200
breaking down
47
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.190
these individual movements, flexing that lead wrist or bowing that lead wrist
48
00:02:08.190 --> 00:02:08.880
is going to
49
00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:13.520
move the path of the club to the right, and it's going to close the clubface.
50
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.080
If you then are able to get a similar clubface alignment, it means that you're
51
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:17.960
doing other
52
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.380
complementary things to reopen that clubface, and understanding how those two
53
00:02:22.380 --> 00:02:23.240
work together
54
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.890
will ultimately allow you to fine-tune and self-manage your own swing on the
55
00:02:26.890 --> 00:02:27.600
course.

In this video, we're going to take a look at Boeing the lead risk to close the
2
00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:05.620
clubface.
3
00:00:05.620 --> 00:00:11.830
So I've gotten like three questions here in the last month of basically saying,
4
00:00:11.830 --> 00:00:12.000
does
5
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.580
Boeing your lead risk close the clubface?
6
00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:18.200
Because I've heard a number of instructors saying that no, it doesn't.
7
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:21.260
And I'll give you the two different perspectives because you pretty much have
8
00:00:21.260 --> 00:00:21.880
to, I don't think
9
00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:22.880
there's a middle ground.
10
00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:23.880
You have to choose one way or the other.
11
00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:27.200
You can understand the other, but you got to choose one of them.
12
00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:31.580
Here you're going to look at the club in just its overall relationship with the
13
00:00:31.580 --> 00:00:32.220
club, like
14
00:00:32.220 --> 00:00:35.000
if you're, or the target line I should say.
15
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.250
So if you're looking at something like track man and you say, okay, that club
16
00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:39.240
face is either
17
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.600
open or closed, just based on where the club is.
18
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.630
The other option is you're going to look at the individual components and how
19
00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:46.080
the body
20
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:51.760
is affecting the open close and the path at any point in time.
21
00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:55.460
If you're going to do the ladder, if you're going to look at individual
22
00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:57.160
components, then
23
00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:04.430
flexing that lead wrist is going to close the clubface and move the path to the
24
00:01:04.430 --> 00:01:05.240
right.
25
00:01:05.240 --> 00:01:10.820
What ends up happening is, or what I've seen is, a couple different instructors
26
00:01:10.820 --> 00:01:11.760
were demonstrating
27
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:17.970
that on track man, you can, here I am here, clubface is square, and then I bow
28
00:01:17.970 --> 00:01:18.800
that wrist
29
00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:20.440
and clubface is square.
30
00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:22.440
The problem is they did other movements.
31
00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:28.200
So if I was here and I just bowed the wrist, now I'm still in, everything else
32
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.040
has stayed
33
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.040
the same.
34
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.960
The club is not on the golf ball.
35
00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:33.720
I'm not at impact position.
36
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:37.990
I would have to use something that would move the path to the left, either
37
00:01:37.990 --> 00:01:39.080
rotation or what
38
00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:42.400
they're demonstrating, which is shoulder adduction.
39
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.200
So if I pull that arm away from me, that's going to tend to open the clubface.
40
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.400
So if I close the clubface with the wrist and I open the clubface from the
41
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:50.360
shoulder, yeah,
42
00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:54.880
the clubface is going to look like it's still square just with less loft, but
43
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:55.680
that doesn't
44
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.080
mean that this by itself didn't close the clubface.
45
00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:02.450
So hopefully this helps you understand, but yes, in my opinion, if you're
46
00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:03.200
breaking down
47
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.190
these individual movements, flexing that lead wrist or bowing that lead wrist
48
00:02:08.190 --> 00:02:08.880
is going to
49
00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:13.520
move the path of the club to the right, and it's going to close the clubface.
50
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.080
If you then are able to get a similar clubface alignment, it means that you're
51
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:17.960
doing other
52
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.380
complementary things to reopen that clubface, and understanding how those two
53
00:02:22.380 --> 00:02:23.240
work together
54
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.890
will ultimately allow you to fine-tune and self-manage your own swing on the
55
00:02:26.890 --> 00:02:27.600
course.
