Today's focus was on the backswing, and more specifically the proper wrist hinging and hand position during the backswing. The attached video clip shows it all. I was previously hinging the wrist completely the wrong direction, by cupping only the right hand wrist (bending wrist so that right hand knuckles end up closer to right elbow), and not the left wrist. It can be seen in the attached video that a cupped right hand wrist only during the backswing resulted in the club pointing way off to the side. I was taught today to actually cup the left hand wrist, while hinging vertically. This keeps the club shaft on the correct path, amongst other positive results. The other focus today was hand position on the backswing. As shown in the video, I was previously reaching back too far, which resulted with a stretch that was uneccessary. Keeping the hands closer to my body keeps the club on the proper path and is much more comfortable.

Great info, that change from the first swing of the day to the end of the day swing is amazing. Hopefully the first swing of the next day is just as pretty.
That was a huge change in your swing right there..
NICE!!
