    It's all weight loading and transfer.......... the wrists are like bearings and criticial but the weight transfer IS the golf swing.

    Very similar to throwing a baseball.  Almost exactly in terms of weight transfer.

    To quickly check weight transfer........... can you pause/check the swing at top of backswing and stop without falling over?

    If that ain't right, wrists are not gonna matter.

    Looks like Fried is on a rant

    But EVERY athletic sport is 90% legs.  Golf is no different.

    And without a firm footing, clubface is gonna be random.

    Every golf book every seen involes everything other than the legs.

    Without the legs, clubface has zero chance.

    No coincidence that baseball players and hockey players are good at golf.

    They understand balance and have strong legs.

    Okay, back to the golf swing............

    1) Importance of legs and firm stability

    2) Wrist hinge...... gonna be hard to describe but will let you overhinge as long as body is turned and weight is transferred.

    3) Downstroke....... Just pull it bro........ left side.... should feel it in your left core.

    Here's a swing thought for you............

    Your only contact with the ball is your grip and handle.  If that's on plane........ clubface will be there.

    Don't stress on clubface until single digits.
