Fix No. 3 Right-hand Drill mimics impact
This drill helps you feel the proper impact position. While holding the club with your left hand and with the club halfway back, place your right hand on the grip, your hand open and fingers extending down the shaft (below left). Swing the club to the top and down to impact, keeping the right wrist bent on the back of the grip. If you've been straightening the right wrist, you'll feel a definite difference--here and in your real swing.

`The thing I found with the Open-Right-Hand Drill (below) was its effect on my left wrist. It put it in a position it had never been in before. I used the drill as a preshot routine on the golf course, and using a light right-hand grip, it gave me the feeling that the left hand was the key. I made much better contact, and it took my right hand out of it."
Todd Anderson comments: "Al gained the feeling of hitting against the back of his left hand. When the right wrist works correctly, it influences the position of the left and lets the hands work together. The left wrist is flat at impact and the right hand and wrist drive in behind to produce power."
