Bent Right Wrist

[jlgenson]

Using the NSA model, after the initial takeway where you bend the right wrist back, should you try to keep that wrist bent throughout the entire swing? I have such a hard time trying to keep in bent through impact. Thanks.

Usually this problem arises because you have stopped turning your shoulders forward on the forward swing and you "run out of right arm" and the only way you can hit the ball is to straighten the right wrist.

How?

How do you keep turning your shoulders without coming over the top? Should I focus on turning my shoulders all the way through impact? Thanks.

There are a number of ways to do it, focus on axis tilt, from the top, focus on the left shoulder going forward and then up, focus on trying to put the right elbow into your right pocket (i.e. elbow comes down towards the hip). If you try it slowly from the top you'll see what your body needs to do.
