The real answers lie in the route cause of things.Īs long as we’re loading our lag going back and lagging our load coming down. If someone came to me with a late wrist set and load but had an amazing downswing and impact, I wouldn’t change that! that would just be changing something for the sake of it and not a good teaching mentality. I’m all for getting back to impact properly and producing the desired dynamics. So there’s more than one way of getting it done. While guys like Johnny Miller, Jay Haas and Kenny Perry all set and load the club very early on the back swing. Jack Nicklaus had a very late back swing load and setting of the wrists. Tiger, Annika and Norman load and set the club gradually during the back swing. The club can be loaded early, gradually, or late, as long as it is fully loaded at the top of the backswing or no later than the transition move into the downswing. There have been many ways people load during the back swing. Having spent time around many good players it has become apparent to me that whether you have a cupped left (lead) wrist (extension) ala Ben Hogan, or a bowed lead wrist (flexion) like Dustin Johnson, at the top, it’s important you combine this with the maximum amount of wrist cock to benefit from loading properly. The backswing should essentially be a fluid ‘loading’ motion. All necessary to apply power to the ball through impact. There’s the full pivot action of the body, an arm swing and a hinging of the wrists. There’s a few things we need to do during the back swing to produce a powerful blow through impact. What I’m going to share with you today will help you not only ‘load’ the club going back but also help you stay centered with your body and understand how to use the ground properly to produce power. And witnessed first hand the little idiosyncrasies that produce good moves and bad as a teacher of the game. I’ve experimented a lot during my career as a golf pro.
