Preset the club at one o'clock for wrist angle

In this drill you preset the club at 'one o'clock' while keeping your hands in the same position, which sets the lead (left) wrist flat and gives you some wrist angle. The speaker contrasts this with getting the club to 12 o'clock, where he says there is no angle in the wrist and no power, leading to slicing and flipping. He calls building up this angle — the creases in the wrist — the key.
