Last Minute Wrist Cock Release
November 13, 2006 – 7:41 pm | by GolfdirtAll PGA Tour players are long ball hitters… at least when compared to us. What else do they all have in common? Watch them closely: They all have and hold their wrists cocked until the very last moment right before impact. Held wrist cock = Power? You betcha!
Normal backswing, long looping ones, even the short backswingers… cocked wrists, all of them, from the top of the backswing to just about right before their arms bottom out on the downswing, at which point their wrists release and rapidly whip their clubs through the ball. Swoosh!
Some of them cock their wrists early in the backswing, while most just let it happen naturally, without forcing the issue consciously. The latter approach works better for me, since I find cocking early tenses me and my arms up a tad, and I actually lose distance because of it.
