Full Swing · Drill

Pre-set the wrist bent back with the sole at one o'clock

In this pre-set drill, the hands are set so the right wrist breaks back on itself, with the top of the right hand bending back toward the top of the right forearm. Hanson also points the sole of the club more toward one o'clock rather than twelve. He frames this as what to look for when pre-setting the hands.
