Don't let handle go backward To get an immediate sense of what tour players do at impact, grab a club just below the grip and make some small swings two different ways. First, try throwing the clubhead down at the ball by unhinging the wrists. Most average players already do this to some degree in a real swing. The butt end of the club will move backward, away from the target, and up toward your belt - leading to the classic chicken wing. Now try a different way. Drive the butt end of the club forward, toward the target, which keeps the club trailing your left arm through impact. Tour players make this move on every swing.
