If you look at the golf swings of the best players in the world, one thing you will notice is the power they generate with seemingly very little effort expended. The key element here is the wrists, as they are the component that helps to create, store and unleash power through impact. In the backswing, your wrists will naturally hinge, but it's imp...
Weight transfer in the golf swinghas a significant impact on both accuracy and power. Imagine you are hitting a tennis shot, you would transfer your weight forwards through impact with the ball, and the golf swing is no different.
