Golf Tips of Jack Nicklaus & Arnold Palmer : Jack Nicklaus Wrist Hinge Golf Tips

[golfnutster]

Interesting idea. You must have a very soft grip and slow back swing to be able to wait for the club to make your wrists hinge. I don't think everyone can do it.

gay enough?

I think for a lot of older golfers they wouldn't be able to make this swing. It worked for Jack, just like Furyk's swing works for him. Golfers need to work within their current physical capabilities. Great analogy of Jack's swing though.

This is Jack Nicklaus's wrist hinge. I have tried this move in the past, but I never could master it. You try it and let me know how it works for you.

I thought I was on Failblog and waited for the fail. Then I got it @1:33. It was a quiet one but worth every second.

In my opinion, Nicklaus' hinge, and thus the LAG, came from his dynamic transition into the downswing. By aggressively moving into his left side to start the downswing, Nicklaus was able to retain the angle of his wrist set and, most importantly, the 'load' of his clubshaft, better than anyone who's played the game. Even as an older player, Nicklaus' dynamics allowed him to load the shaft as well as anyone.

Well said but strangely performed. He is turning so much that he is straightening his spine. no need to go that far before the club is hinged

well said! The natural wrist hinge is a result of a full body coil and no conscious thought of hingeing the wrists, very powerful position to be in, hingeing early in many cases can lead to a reduced coil.....
