Improve Trail Wrist Control to Eliminate Flipping in Your Swing
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Understand how to prevent flipping by focusing on wrist mechanics
- Develop a more controlled shoulder release for better swing dynamics
- Practice single-arm movements to enhance club rotation and face alignment
In this drill, you'll learn how to train your trail wrist using a foam noodle to prevent flipping and encourage proper wrist mechanics during your swing. This exercise helps establish better control and awareness of your wrist position, leading to more consistent ball striking.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.560
This drill is trail wrist training with the foam noodle so this is a similar
2
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.120
to drill to how I like to train one aspect of the trail wrist for putting
3
00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:16.680
but oftentimes golfers you struggle with this you know scooper flip or bending
4
00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:20.280
like this on the way through are really unaware of what's going on with the
5
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:24.120
wrist so what we're gonna do is we're gonna take a foam noodle now this I've
6
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:30.200
I've cut you could potentially use you know a rolled-up sock or a sock with
7
00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:33.800
another sock inside of it but basically what we're gonna do is we're gonna try
8
00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:40.520
to occupy that space between the right wrist and the club so this can be used
9
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:46.880
for single arm training and basically what it's gonna force you to do is it's
10
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:53.400
going to force you to get the movement to happen more from twisting the club so
11
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:59.440
I can still square the face by rotating the club like this but I can't square
12
00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:07.040
the face by letting it pass which is what a scoop tends to do so now what I can
13
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:14.520
do is I can work in the 9 to 3 zone and I'll have more of a focus on what the
14
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:20.280
shoulder is doing kind of for a good wipe working across my body kind of like
15
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:27.200
so now once I get into that good let's say follow through position I can move
16
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.600
the noodle out of the way and I can put my grip on and I may find that the club
17
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:39.040
head is a little bit more in that club head out relationship so if I do that
18
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:46.360
facing here kind of in slow motion that club is twisting as it's coming through
19
00:01:46.360 --> 00:01:52.320
kind of like that and then I can take that away put my hands there and then
20
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:57.160
try to get back to that position so this will help a little bit more with the
21
00:01:57.160 --> 00:02:02.680
disassociation of the arm this will help a little bit more with building more
22
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.880
of a shoulder controlled release or bottom of the swing as opposed to a very
23
00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:12.560
much a hand or flip style of the of the swing so if you're struggling with your
24
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:17.600
trail arm only release that's a good compliment to some of the single arm
25
00:02:17.600 --> 00:02:22.760
drills to really focus in on the shaft rotation as opposed to the flip or how
26
00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:29.600
you're swearing the face so from face on it looks a little bit more like that
27
00:02:29.600 --> 00:02:30.560
in
28
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:39.600
slow motion you can see that most of the movement is happening through the arm
29
00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:44.880
and through the shoulder as opposed to down at the wrist from the down the line
30
00:02:44.880 --> 00:02:51.840
if I do that correctly the club stays a little bit more out as the grip works
31
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:57.560
more in front it's a pretty hard forearm work so you won't be able to do too
32
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:57.680
many
33
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:03.000
of those before you should put both hands on the club and try to test it
