The number one problem golfer's have is bending the wrist at impact with the ball. Golfers suffer lead hand wrist collapse from trying to help the ball into the air. This weak hand action at impact contributes to slices or hooks.

If your wrist is straight when you connect with the ball the club face will be square with the ball at impact. If your wrist is bent at impact and not brought into alignment before the drive is taken, the club face won't be centered when it connects with the ball. Chances are your club will be either open faced causing you to drive to the right or closed faced and hitting to the left. You want to connect square to the ball and hit it straight, so you must be constantly aware of your wrist alignment.

It is a mental game to remember to keep your wrist straight and flat at impact. It takes time to train this mental awareness and often times get overlooked. There is an easier way, which will save you time, so you can get right into your game and start driving better, putting better and pitching better.
