9 to 3 Test
9 to 3 Test
A simple test for determining if you need to prioritize the release, backswing, or transition
For the 9 to 3 test, make a number of half swings with the focus on making solid contact with great wrist mechanics. This test will provide you with one of two results.
- If you can hit the ball with good wrist mechanics on the 9 to 3 shots, then it likely means the flip at impact is more a result of your backswing, your transition, or how you're feeling power at the bottom of the swing.
- If you can't hit the ball on the 9 to 3 with good wrist mechanics, then it likely means that the flip at impact is more of a sign of a release problem.
