Flying wedge drill: keep wrist angle as you extend

The coach's range drill, which he calls the 'flying wedge': take the club back with straight arms, then keep a wedge (angle) in the wrist on the way through so the wrist angle at impact is maintained as you extend. He suggests starting on the micro level like a chip shot and exaggerating the feel to get the arm straight on the way through.
