The Trail Wrist Setting
Used for chipping, pitch shots, and full shots this setting focuses on using the trail wrist to create the correct hinge and maintain lag into impact. The rod and ball will start bent off the trail wrist based on the length of your swing and the amount of hinge you want to create.
