Rolling of the hands

[Dino39]

Hi there,

I'v seen myself on video hitting a ball and when watching the playback I see the I'm rolling my wrists causing the club face to open up and shank the ball right. Are there any simple technics to over come this? Thanks for your help guys

We are talking about the backswing where you roll your wrists open aren't we?

It's as I come through to hit the ball. My backswing, the club is positioned correctly as I start the approach to and make contact with the ball the face of the club is wide open. If I think about it too much I over compensate! It's very frustrating.

This is an area I had a problem with. Check out the following on you tube:-
Search under Greatputt8 and look at his drill "one common cause for your shanks and slices" . I bet this is what causes you problems

Check your grip before you change anything else

The drill in this video may clarify the wrists positions for you:
