    Flat Right Wrist (i'm a lefty)

    Ok so no jokes about the Lefty part being my problem! I seem to be having a hard time keeping MY right wrist(left wrist for the rest of you) flat at the top of my back swing, i tend to cup it, which is causing me issues and power loss. Any drill you can think of to help with this?

    Thanks for any help

    I am no pro or even any good a golf, so ignore me if you like.

    For YOU to get a FRW at the top you need to either bend back your left wrist more or get your left elbow in more (flying elbow) or bit of both. I would suggest practice doing 3/4 swings to get how your wrists & arms should FEEL. Then work on ingraining it.
    Back at it.

    I know exactly how you feel. Most of the students I teach tend to have the same problem. Here is what I suggest for you to try. If you are cupping your wrist at the top of your golf swing, try putting a pencil or a ruler on the front of your hand. You can hold it there with tape, or tuck it under your watch. Try to swing a few times with it there to get the feel for it, and then you should be able to give it a try with a ball on the ground. It will feel pretty weird, but TRUST yourself. Doubt is the worst thing you could have when you're trying to do something like this. TRUST that what you're doing is right.
