1m 45s
As you swing back, it is important to 'set your wrists' in order to create a lever in your golf swing. Higher-handicappers tend to keep their wrist straight and then end up hinging their elbows instead, creating a narrow, lifted swing. Ideally at the halfway back point, when the lead arm is parallel to the ground, the wrists should be almost fully hinged.
Stand in your golf posture, holding a golf club.

Return to start position and repeat exercise.
Do 8 to 10 repetitions.
