Early Wrist Cock Lag Drill

A great drill for learning wrist is the early wrist cock lag drill. This is a golf drill you can do in your home, office or of course on the practice range, but it will give you the correct feel for a full wrist cock in your golf swing.

What you want to do is address the ball, pre-cock (early) your wrists so the club is parallel to the ground, and parallel to your target line.

You are now in the perfect position for a full shoulder turn with the proper amount of wrist cock for maximum power and distance.

Once you preset your wrists and make sure your club is in the correct position; make a golf swing. Try to hold the wrist cock without an early release on the way down, then hit the ball. This may take several attempts to hit a solid ball, but this will also teach you good tempo and a proper transition into your downswing.

This is a drill Nick Price used to do with David Leadbetter years ago, and he was known as one of the best ball strikers of his time.
