Wristy/Handsy Swing

[JTitan12]

I tend to get very wristy or handsy through impact in my swing. In other words, i generate all of my clubhead speed with the uncocking and turnover of my wrists and forearms through impact. I am only 14 and have been golfing for about a year, is this a bad habit i should fix while i still can?

Yes.Work on backswing being hands,arms,shoulders hips in that order (but very close together),then reverse this on the downswing i.e start hips first,then shoulders,arms and wrists last.This is what timing and rythym is all about.

Plus you will grow a bit so don't worry to much,your arms have yet to fill out and your forearms will get much bigger

your forearms will get much bigger

Ah. 12 oz. curls!!

I'll do a few of those tonight. Does Michelob count? That's all I've got in the fridge.

I should start with 16oz. cans so I can get better distance.

At least you are on the right track with Lagers. Not far from working your way into a real beer, and I don't mean Pilsners.

Although I am drinking a good old fashion Pennsylvania Traditional Yuengling Lager as I try to type. Lager is the closest thing to a "Light" beer that I would choose to drink.

Think how far you can hit it drinking Foster's in the 800ml bottle!
