Mastering the Correct Wrist Action in Golf Swing

TLDRLearn how to properly release the club in a golf swing by focusing on the back-and-forth motion of the wrist and arm rotation. Fix common faults by exaggerating the wrist angle and keeping the top of the wrist ahead of the knuckles. This will result in a more solid and consistent ball strike, as well as increased accuracy and control.
