Flying Wedge

I was just working on feeling like I’m keeping my knuckles pointed down during the downswing Because I was having trouble keeping the wedge at impact. I already feel like my knuckles point towards the ground on the takeaway which keeps the face parallel to my spine and square. doing this creates that bowed wrist at the top and creates a great impact position if you hold that bow through impac…it’s funny because you just put out a video about the ram bow that I saw a couple hours after I started doing that Haha

can you hinge if you play with a bowed wrist ?

@Rudi (from Munich) - Yes, you will still hinge with the bowed lead wrist; it will just prevent you from over-hinging. Without a club in your hand try hinging your lead wrist upward. You can only keep it flat (or bowed) for a few degrees, and then it will cup if you try to hinge it too far. Thus the bowing action properly governs the amount of hinge, which is another important benefit.

@Tom Saguto Thx, flat wrist is what I do, but this over 60 years old untrained wrist gives me some muscle- and tendon-pain just by bowing and trying that, I nearly dont have any hinge. I dont know, if I can reach this flexibility by training in my age.

Would you prefer a correct hinge or a bow without hinging ?

Anyway I tried the swing with bowed wrist but my upper body has to come closer to the ground to hit the ball, same with the Mickelson-chip, correct ?

Can`t see this in your videos. 😳

@Jason Thibodeau Haha, that's funny the video came out right after. So you were probably able to relate on how it felt and the results it produces. I first noticed this with Bryson and his wedges, short follow through with no wrists rolling over, still bombs it, but more importantly, keeps the face square through impact for greater accuracy.
